| Is starting a web development company in 2019/2020 a 'good' idea?? Posted: 27 Nov 2019 03:01 PM PST I currently work for a small-time web dev company doing backend using node, and have a few, maybe "obvious" questions to some, but not-so-obvious to myself, as I'm looking to start my own web dev company and learn from what I've taken away working here for the past year and a half.... So the other day I took it upon myself to perform a little "experiment" of sorts, I said "Okay, I see that we as a company are bringing in quite a few clients..why aren't these clients just using Fiverr or some other similar service to get a website instead of paying us thousands to develop/design/maintain a website?" So I went on Fiverr and ordered a $75 website.... It's literally on-par with what our company would be doing, front to back it's something I would expect our company to put out, if not slightly better/more efficient, and the person I ordered it from offers very lucrative deals in terms of maintenance/changes to content...... So this leads me to my ultimate question: Is it even VIABLE to start a web development company now that this type of outsourcing exists?? I wouldn't want to go into this and crash and burn, albeit I realize it takes months, if not years to build up a solid clientele to generate income...But if John Doe can do it for $75 on Fiverr, why would anyone pay hundreds (if not thousands) for a small company to do it?? Thanks in advance for any input on this :) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Advice on switching from Wordpress to a non WP site without causing downtime? Posted: 27 Nov 2019 02:23 PM PST I'm planing on giving my site a full redesign and just snagged a sweet deal on a really awesome template from themeforest, only thing is that it's not a Wordpress template. What's the best way to replace the current Wordpress site whenever my new one is ready/designed without causing any downtime for visitors? When ready, do I throw all the existing wp- folders into a new folder and just throw all the new site's HTML, CSS, etc. files onto the root directory? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Discontent webdev with a dash of impostor syndrome Posted: 27 Nov 2019 02:09 AM PST I guess this post will read more like a rant than anything else, but here it goes anyway: I've been working on the webdev industry for about 3 years now. Graduated as graphic designer originally and switched to coding via a bootcamp ( which has been having really good results here ). Landed my first frontend gig shortly after, then had to stop for personal reasons for many months, and eventually managed to get a new job. By the time I was getting this job, already felt a bit ¨unhireable¨, for all the month's downtime I had ( in which I didn't have time to keep up with tech ), and having much to learn. This company works on a react based product and getting in here seemed like a good learning opportunity and a stepping stone to better places. I was also hired for my graphic design knowledge ( which I translate into webdesign, and it's how I sell myself to companies, guess not many devs have graphic skills ), and they had me redesign the company's website from scratch as a first project. I took it, it was a huge task but I was managing to keep it going, although at a point some people wanted to take ownership of it and I wasn't even sure who to report to anymore. Also, being the only one working on the website eventually burned me out a bit, as a new design + wordpress implementation of a custom theme is a big endeavour for a solo dev ( or at least for me ). Eventually the project got on hold because of internal politics, and they had me start getting into their main product, the React app. It's a monolithic, about 4 years old dashboard app, with thousands and thousands of lines of code, not entirely consistent with itself, and just a bit messy overall. Plus, my experience with React is almost none, so I am learning as I go. Last week I was called into office by the CTO and TeamLeader ( this is a very small team btw, 8 devs in total for front+backend, only 3 in frontend ) and I hear them talk about how my productivity isn't as good as expected, proactivity is low, etc etc, most of it kinda pulled out of nowhere as they never talked to me before about these issues. Now, not to sidetrack, but I know that there are some other reasons at play, that they didn't talk about here, notably a coworker that doesn't get along with me and makes it seem like it's my fault. I know she took it up to the team leader, but again, they didn't bother to check my side. It's a long story anyway. Bottom line of this meeting was that ¨We're not gonna fire you, but your contract is ending in a few months and we're not renovating. Feel free to have interviews in the meantime¨. So basically a covert firing. Now, my point with all this wall of text: I'm feeling more and more discontent with webdev in general. Librares are popping up everywhere, a simple website is now a complex react-app with tons of external libs, ES6,7,8.., new stacks, new ways of doing things.. I've been looking at some frontend job postings and I don't even know what they're asking for sometimes. ¨_GraphQL, NoSQL, Kubernetes, Micro-Frontends, Polymer_¨ just to name a few.. Plus, I feel that there is so much to learn that I can't even start. I do have some udemy and other's courses sitting idly, but barely have time in the day to myself, let alone go learn more stuff at the end of a work's day. I'm just not sure where to go from here, and sometimes I wonder if it's me, or things are moving way to fast for any sane human to keep up.. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Good book similar to old sitepoint books on learning modern web app dev? Posted: 27 Nov 2019 03:27 PM PST Hey guys, back in the day (2004) I got into webdev for fun and learned the lamp stack from a sitepoint book (building dynamic websites) and forums. It really helped me get my feet wet. Given how much the space has changed since then, do you guys have any recommendations on something that can help me get a grasp on the latest technologies? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 27 Nov 2019 02:26 PM PST I am creating a page that works as a visual programming tool/node builder/flow chart builder. A consequence of this is that each node type requires a modal to show when it's being edited. Because of this there will be close to 100 unique modals (or just the form within the modal) that I need to be able to show. What is the best way to "store" the code for each modal, or just each form? Seems hard to manage if I just have the html for each modal/form type in the page's html. Suggestions appreciated!

| Help With Static Templating and Markdown Parsing Posted: 27 Nov 2019 10:03 AM PST Hi r/webdev, backend developer here with a tiny bit of full stack knowledge. I need some help with designing a static, HTML and CSS only website for GitHub pages. After doing a bit of research, I know I need to do the following things, but is there a way to use... 1) HTML templating, like Jinja2 2) Markdown to HTML conversion, like showdownjs ...without having to use a generator like Jekyll or Pelican for GitHub pages? All I'd like to do is create blog posts in Markdown and have variables like the date and title appear in different parts of the website. I can already achieve what I need to by writing pure HTML and CSS, but automating the process with variables and writing posts in Markdown would be much better. Thank you in advance!

| How do you track purchases made through Paypal Express Checkout?

| Having trouble with SFTP to Digital Ocean Ubuntu server. Posted: 27 Nov 2019 01:24 PM PST I'm a front end designer and I've only used hosts like siteground before that are a bit more plug and play with cpanel, but they quadrupled my hosting price so I migrated to a shared digital ocean droplet. I've managed to set up nginx and SSH via the console and their tutorials, but now to use firezilla I apparently need to have my private SSH key and I'm not sure how to get that? I tried just quick connecting to the IP address with my root account through port 22 but it said the port was invalid. Please help? All my sites are offline until I figure this out!

| DevOps trying to learn gotchas for running an express.js application Posted: 27 Nov 2019 01:22 PM PST Hey folks, I've got to host an express.js API in AWS, and I have no experience with javascript let alone express.js, I was wondering if there was anything specific and important to know about hosting an application written in javascript or this framework in particular? I understand javascript is dynamically typed, and that it's a functional language, but am unaware if there are any operational implications of a functional language, I have experience hosting python applications.

| Building a site for a friends company. Need advice. Posted: 27 Nov 2019 01:20 PM PST So I'm a noob at this stuff still. (Started with python and after about 6-7 months switched to html/css/js). So I've only been doing "web dev" self-teaching for about 4-5 months. I have an old friend from high school who could use a website for his company so I offered to make him one to practice actually using my skills. However, now that I'm a few days into the product I am looking at my website and realizing how......plain it looks. It just looks unprofessional to me. I want to add more things but I'm not sure WHAT to add. I feel lost. I have a terrible landing page with a paragraph and logo, a contact page with a nice form (my favorite part of the whole site) and then a portfolio page with examples of some of his work using a jquery fancybox plugin. I would post a link but for 1: the post will be taken down because it's not Saturday & 2: I'm using ngrok and you only get x visits per hour on the free plan. So if there is someone out there who is far more experienced than I and is willing to DM me and take a peek, please feel free to give me advice/suggestions on features/things to change/remove. Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||
| What is the future of Web Development? Posted: 27 Nov 2019 05:38 AM PST I work as a Rails developer now. I have been at it for just about 6 months and I have these friends who say that 5 years down the line, AI would automate all web development, there would be jo requirement for Web Developers. This really freaks me out because I do love working with Rails and I don't want to change, but their arguments seem pretty convincing. I am basically looking for arguments against this. Is there any senior web developer here who knows where the industry is headed? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Best resources for continuing Javascript practice? Posted: 27 Nov 2019 12:57 PM PST So I'm looking for some challenges/tutorials for more advanced javascript learning. I've been doing a ton of React and just more front end stuff, but I'm getting away from more of the logic I used to really enjoy. What are your tips for websites with challenges, projects, etc?

| Posted: 27 Nov 2019 12:06 PM PST I'm a freelance web developer ( WordPress, jQuery, HTML/CSS, all 3 rather advanced, and a bit of Symfony ), but I feel like I don't know the basics. I don't know about HTTP requests. I wouldn't be able to do a _PUT or anything like that. I know how things work in general, like what happens when you click on a link etc.. but I don't know anything more advanced than that. I tried learning Node.js when I started a year ago, but I was overwhelmed with the new terms I didn't know ( Requests, response, how servers work, "http.createServer" etc.. which is, from what I understand, a lower level of programming than PHP ) and I didn't go too far into the framework/language, so I'm pretty sure that if I'd gone further, I'd have been more lost than I already was ! Do you have any good resource, whether it's a video or a written post, that explains how all of this works ? Or is this something that I'll learn over time ? Thanks ! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 27 Nov 2019 11:42 AM PST I have little knowledge in web-development, I have been learning to code HTML/CSS on the side when I have free time at work which I mentioned in my application for this volunteer position. The founder asked if I had any examples of my "work" but I informed her I was just starting to learn the coding aspect but have built websites on platforms such as Enjin, and Wix in the past. This didn't seem to phase her and mentioned that the previous Web Developer, who of which had to quit due to business with work, was using a online platform and template for the new website they want to develop. The vision of this project is a sort of Yelp-like platform for holistic and eco-friendly businesses. I'm welcoming this opportunity and challenge to help with the production of the website and put my skills to the test, but I feel incredibly underskilled. I'm wanting to move forward with it and develop the skills I've been learning and put my previous knowledge to the test, but I'm incredibly nervous. What should I do? [link] [comments]  | ||

| What challenges would a bunch of people that wants to crowdfund their own TLD face? Posted: 27 Nov 2019 03:29 AM PST I've never cared much about ICANN or the domain name scene but the recent sale of .org to a private equity fund got me thinking... Why hasn't there been any crowdfunded TLDs? Though googling, it seems there hasn't even been any attempt at doing this. Looking at the page: https://www.instra.com/en/new-gtlds/pricing it seems a few hundred thousand dollars is enough to get started. Even if we're being super pessimistic about the success of our campaign, even if only 1000 people sign up, everyone would only need to cough up a few hundred dollars to get started and around a hundred dollars every year for maintenance and fees. Not a small sum but quite affordable and the benefits are incredible:
