    Why is Google Maps Platform API's pricing so ridiculous?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 09:47 AM PST

    I was looking into Nearby Places API (https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json) as I wanted to integrate that into something I'm working on.
    For the first 100K requests the cost is 32$ per every 1000 requests! So with free 200$ of credits I can only make 6.25K free requests a month. In comparison, LocationIQ provides an API which searches OpenStreetMaps data set and gives me 10K req/day for free or 300K free a month. Thats 48 times more than what Google is giving for free.

    This makes no sense to me. How is a company of Google's size and resources not able to provide their data for a reasonable price? Is it because server costs are very high and companies like Location IQ are losing money? or is it because Google thinks their data set is too valuable to give away cheap? Any insights on this matter are welcome.

    What are some resources that you recommend for making us better web developers in general, regardless of the framework and libraries we are using?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 09:52 AM PST

    Yes, JavaScript is an obvious one. I'm thinking of things like software engineering concepts, best practices, etc. Things I can use in any framework.

    I spend time at work reading docs about the tools I am using, but these come and go. I would like to spend some additional time learning and practicing good software engineering so that no matter which framework I pick up, I can get a grasp for how to use it efficiently and properly to tailor my needs.

    I'm assuming there are people here that did not start out in web development and are coming from another software engineering platform and vice versa. I'm curious to hear if you guys have any insights into this.

    But of course, any general concepts, books, classes, etc. are welcome from anyone here.

    Wes Bos just released his new Javascript Beginners course

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 04:00 PM PST

    It looks a really good companion to his other courses.

    Personally, I found his 30 days of Javascript not very newbie friendly so it's great this is for complete beginners.

    beginner Javascript course

    I also find it very cool that he is a self-taught developer so I interviewed him:

    What other sources do you recommend as well as FreeCodeCamp?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 03:49 PM PST

    I want to have a solid understanding of code and not forget anything. These first challenges on FreeCodeCamp are already hard for me. The descriptions are becoming over-complicated. EDIT: It helps if it's also free like FreeCodeCamp.

    How do I interview at a far away tech hub when I work a full time job?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 11:19 AM PST

    Hey everyone,

    Have about seven years of front end dev building websites, not web apps. I was laid off from my job a month ago. Luckily, I saw it coming and got an offer at a local agency close by the same day. Which was awesome.

    However, this place I'm at now, it's just a nightmare. I'm the only developer, the last dev was there for ten years and just left, and everything's a Blackbox. No documentation, no version control, websites are designed in fucking InDesign, I'm suddenly expected to do backend work when I only know front end.. That's just scratching the surface. So I'm back on the job search.

    The major tech hub that has all the jobs, is Toronto. The job I have now, which is ten minutes from my home, is about an hour and a half drive to Toronto. There's literally no dev jobs in this area. Everything is in Toronto.

    I work from 9-5, Monday to Friday. There's just no logical way I can go to Toronto for interviews during the day, because I'm on probation and I need to have a job while looking for one.

    How am I supposed to interview in Toronto, which is 1.5 hours away, when having a full time job?

    I've already talked to one employer in Toronto, and they said they don't hold interviews outside their 9-5. So they won't accommodate.

    Any advice or pointers would be so helpful

    Struggling with adapting a PHP MVC custom framework from Apache to IIS FastCGI

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 02:23 PM PST

    Here's my structure

    /website/

    - htaccess (1) / web.config

    - app folder -> Libraries (Core, Controller, Database), Controllers, Models, Views, Includes, Helpers, etc

    - public folder -> css, js, index.php, htaccess (2) / web.config

    ​

    Root htaccess looks like this:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]

    RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]

    </IfModule>

    ​

    Translated that into this web.config:

    <rules>

    <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">

    <match url="^$" />

    <action type="Rewrite" url="public/" />

    </rule>

    <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">

    <match url="(.*)" />

    <action type="Rewrite" url="public/{R:1}" />

    </rule>

    </rules>

    ​

    So, hitting "website" which routes to "website/public" works perfectly fine.

    The issue is with the Public web.config. Here's the htaccess for it:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    Options -Multiviews

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase /website/public

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

    </IfModule>

    ​

    Web.config translation:

    <rule name="Imported Rule 1-1" stopProcessing="true">

    <match url="^(.+)$" ignoreCase="false" />

    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">

    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />

    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />

    </conditions>

    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?url={R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />

    </rule>

    ​

    Now I should be able to visit "website/jobs" or "website/jobs/list/0" for instance. Works perfectly fine in Apache, but I get a 404 on IIS. Haven't been able to resolve in two days.

    Appreciate any tips please! Thanks.

    How do i use cookies in development (localhost)?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 02:03 PM PST

    Hi. I'm building an app with a login system. I'm using cookies to save sessionid. I works on my vps but for some reason i can't set any cookies on localhost? Here is my cookie: res.cookie('sessionid', session_id, { expires: maxAge , httpOnly: true, sameSite: 'none', secure: true, domain: null })

    Also tried without sameSite and secure. How do i develop using cookies on localhost?

    6-month critical path from student to full time

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 11:13 PM PST

    TL;DR I am looking for feedback on what you believe is the most efficient path for becoming capable of obtaining a front-end job.

    Today I learned that my current employer may be liquidating in Q2 of 2020. I've been studying web dev specifically for the last few weeks in preparation for this possibility, but my aim was at the MERN stack. Now I'm afraid, given the short period of time, that I may need to focus more on the front-end. Is this reasonable?

    I just finished Jonas Schmedtmann's introductory course on Udemy and aim to dive into his advanced CSS course next. I had then planned to look into both of Colt Steele's bootcamps but, again, I am concerned about the amount of time I have.

    I intended to tackle the following topics, in order, with the specified amount of time:

    1. HTML (1-2 weeks)
    2. CSS (2-3 weeks)
    3. JavaScript (6-8 weeks)
    4. React/Angular (4-6 weeks)
    5. Node (2-4 weeks)
    6. PHP (2-3 weeks)
    7. Bootstrap (1-2 weeks)

    TOTAL: ~ 26 weeks

    I'm not sure if 5-7 are necessities or if my estimates are realistic. I work 50+ hrs/week but plan to dedicate 2-3 hrs/day to this curriculum. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.

    I’m an experienced web developer, cybersecurity expert and DevOps engineer and I don’t know where to find good clients/projects to do some freelance work. What are your thoughts?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 12:05 PM PST

    Hi, I'm as in the title - I'm a well rounded web dev, I've been coding for 11 years and have 5-6 years of hardcore work experience in London, having worked for both big corps and smaller companies like creative studios or some private clients.

    I mainly use Laravel and WordPress, having authored dozens of plugins for the latter and having spent most of my career focusing on this.

    I've also studied web design and have a very good understanding of best UI/UX practices.

    I have some good cybersecurity knowledge, can perform assessments, pentests, etc. I'm also very good at troubleshooting/debugging.

    I understand and work very well with Linux systems/VPS, especially Debian/Ubuntu and CentOS. I can master the CLI and I know both Apache and Nginx very well.

    I can also create utilities in Python and Bash and automate anything that can be automated :)

    I'm now happily employed full time as a Senior Dev in an amazing team and I can't complain at all. I have my side projects ongoing as well of which I'm quite proud.

    All good right?

    HOWEVER.

    Every time. Every. Time. And I shit you not it has been quite a lot of times; that I decide to look for actual freelance work, I'm lost. Like a baby in the jungle.

    Like, proper. I have no idea where to start, where to look, who to contact. I feel stupid. I see devs with far less experience than me get some good projects (good for them) and ask myself what tf am I missing?

    All these "freelancing websites" look like flooded of average devs and clients who don't really have the money to pay for good development.

    I've worked with a couple of agencies that used to pass any extra work on to me, however, they quite obviously took a fee and you don't really work with the client / get to work on the project as a whole...

    Reddit. What do you suggest?

    Monitor recommendations for web development?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 11:49 AM PST

    Hey, since Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are around the corner, I was wondering if you guys could had any recommendations regarding monitors and what I should be looking for? Right now, I am using a 13 inch laptop screen which is difficult when I have to constantly switch between the browser, code, terminal, documentation, video lectures, my notes etc.

    I'm not sure what to get - should I purchase 1 or 2 smaller monitors and use my laptop screen on the side? Or have 1 ultrawide monitor and also use the laptop screen? My desk is 47 inches length-wise if that helps.

    best tool for debugging Angular CLI project with backend

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 08:00 AM PST

    I'm looking for an IDE I can use to debug the following at the same time:

    • Frontend: Angular 8 (CLI)
    • Backend: Java Sprint Boot, Maven, Flyway
    • Middleware: Apollo Server GraphQL (Node)

    right now I'm running all three in parallel using Lerna, this is fine but I can't set breakpoints and whatnot. I am trying to debug everything in VSCode using compounded configurations but none of them are working properly and I'm sort of losing faith in that avenue.

    How to store JWT safely?

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 11:38 PM PST

    I have read quite a bit of JWT and still am not sure how to store the token securely.

    Obviously I should not store it in localstorage. I probably can store it securely in memory but I do not want that my users have to login again just because they have to reload the page.

    The best solution I have read so far is using httpOnly Cookies. On the other hand some people still say those httpOnly Cookies can be exploited.

    So how do I store my token?
