    too old to become a web dev?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 07:58 AM PST

    34 yrs old, with 15 years of infrastructure experience. I love working in sysops, but looking to jump into web dev on the side. I see posts about web dev being a young mans game, so just curious what the community thinks?

    edit: thanks for all the replies - all very positive and hopeful! happy new year everyone!

    How common is bandwidth abuse?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 10:57 AM PST

    I host two websites on Azure (one on a VM and one is a static website) and I do have them sit behind Cloudflare but I am still wondering how common it is that people abuse your bandwidth by continuously downloading large files from websites. Especially considering that Azure charges by used bandwidth and that people might somehow bypass the CDN and fetch the files from the origin (Azure). Do you often see this behavior on your websites and how does it impact your bill?

    For personal projects, what do you guys use for monitoring?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2019 07:51 PM PST

    At work, I've gotten the pleasure to use datadog for monitoring. I'd like to do something similar with my personal projects; however, it's not large enough (or with enough scale) to justify its cost (even for the cheaper tier).

    I really like datadog's events/metrics/dashboard features to track latency/count/other information about incoming requests.

    Is there anything open-source-like that people can suggest for monitoring?

    Change brand font desktop v phone

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 03:31 PM PST

    Hi guys. The newb again.

    So I am using this template:
    https://colorlib.com/preview/#appetizer

    The navbar brand "Appetizer" is crazy small. On my site, I used html font size to make it 10.

    Except on mobile that is too big and the sticky menu covers half the screen.

    How do I either turn the sticky menu off on mobile (I like it on desktop site) or make the font smaller on mobile but not on the desktop version?

    I tried going off this documentation but am either not doing it properly (likely) or it just doesn't work.
    https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/layout/responsive-utilities/

    As always, thanks so much for your help.

    Help looking for Multipage Online HTML Editor

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 02:44 PM PST

    I am trying to create a helpful page to assist me in the activities I need to do at work.

    They best way to do this would be a multipage website where I can search for which page I want to go to from a list.

    I have restricted access to the internet due to the work I do.

    I have tried CodePen's project option but that is blocked. Are there other online html editing tools available that I can try that are similar to CodePen?

    Online Graphic Editor - which technoligy should I use?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 01:27 PM PST

    Hi there,

    I am a beginner in web development. In an article about projects for learning web development they mentioned building an graphic editor with I believe it was React.

    As a retro gaming fan I think it would be a great idea to build an editor which lets you design video game covers for the different game boxes for snes games etc.

    The editor should be able to preload some example layouts and dimensions. Many of those premade covers you can find online only fit for one specific box like universal game case and no other, because they all differ in sizes of front, back and spine. So the idea is a an editor where you can chose between some preconfigured sizes and you can adjust them yourself. Then the editor should be be able to define areas for text and uploading images etc.

    Long story short: Should I use react to realize that or would something else be more suitable?

    Safari iOS doesn't leave the :hover/:active state

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 12:06 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I have a piece of code like the following:

    <div class="parentDiv"> <div class="div1"> something </div> <div class="div2" style="display: none"> something else </div> </div> 

    The css is like this

    .div1:hover~.div2, .div1:active~.div2{ display: block; } 

    What is meant to do is:

    when the .div1 is hovered or activated (meaning, on mobile, that I click on it), the .div2 must become visible.

    Everything works fine, but on Safari mobile (I was able to test only on an iPhone 6) there is no easy way of leaving the :hover/:active state when I click elsewere.

    So the .div2 stays visible and I have to zoom in/out and do some weird finger-gymnastic to leave the :hover/:active state.

    On firefox and chrome mobile I just click elsewere and it works.

    Do you know if there is a particular reason why I'm facing this problem?

    Thanks

    How to view JSON in Chrome like Firefox?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 11:16 AM PST

    Hi webdev, and happy new 2020 for people already there, happy party for the rest of you!

    I reeeeeally love Firefox JSON viewer and it's the main thing I miss since I decided to switch to Chrome (as a wannabe frontend dev I find it useful to adhere to industry standards until I have sufficient experience to make my own choices).

    Is there any widely used and safe plugin that replicates FF magnificent experience?

    Thanks and let's hope 2020 will be a great year for everyone.

    Use NodeJS Module as client side script

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 10:22 AM PST

    I have a node module I want to use but it currently is written to work on a NodeJS server. I want to have all the JavaScript code in the module be accessible from the client side JavaScript being run. The website I am running (on github.io) doesn't have any server side scripting. Is there anyway to be able to use code from NodeJS modules in client side code?

    Can someone suggest a boilerplate for a simple one page website? How do you go about finding boiler plates?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 10:15 AM PST

    Everytime i've worked on a task or project, the boilerplate has already been set up for me whether that be laravel, vue, wordpress etc.

    I want to make some websites for my friends, they will be quite simple websites with no database, some just one page, its a portfolio website. How do people usually go about setting up or finding boiler plates? Do i just decide what languages/technologies i want to use then google the boilerplates for it.. ?

    I would like to use Tailwind, (there won't be much dynamic action, if i have to use any javascript i will probably want to use Vue)

    What's the advantage to using a boilerplate as opposed to just simple html, .css and .js files? This is what I'm currently using
    Thanks!

    Redoing a website and concerned about screwing up the SEO, they are top the google search

    Posted: 30 Dec 2019 04:35 PM PST

    So I am redoing a website for a family member. It's actually a really popular website with hundreds of thousands of visitors a month and top in the google search results.

    They don't mess with it at all anymore, and it's not a used for profit, but they said I could redo it for them because they'd like it updated, and it would look good on my resume. The website is like 20 years old so could use updating.

    I've been learning Vue, the Javscript framework, and I'd like to make it a single page website, so instead of having a million .html files, there would be just one that would dynamically update.

    Will this mess up the SEO? Will redoing a website reset or knock down the SEO? All the content/text would be the same, it would just be one page instead of hundreds.

    Are there any other concerns I should be worried about? They have a decent amount of international visitors with slower internet, should I be worried about it loading slower? Will it load all the image files at once even though they aren't displayed? etc.

    Suggestions for my eCommerce set up

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 09:37 AM PST

    I'm looking for some help on one of the areas of web dev I'm not as familiar with, and that is the network / production enviroment set up. What I have is an ASP.NET eCommerce site that is very similar to nopcommerce. I'm hoping some one can take a look at my current set up (detailed below) and offer suggestions for me to get this into a secure, manageable production environment.

     


    Set up

    Currently I have an Azure account with a single Virtual server instance running: https://i.imgur.com/HUpEUiX.png. It's size is as follows:

     

    B4ms Standard General purpose 4 vCPUs 16 GiB RAM 8 Data disks 2880 Max IOPS 32 GiB Temp. Storage Est. Cost $192.37 

     

    It's set up with a static IP and it's also the computer I use to develop the web site. So it has VS2017, SSMS installed on it. OS is Windows Server 2016. I'm accessing this computer via RDP which I know is not secure, or at the very least, not to be used on a production computer. The RDP does have an IP address restriction at the moment. It currently has the following advisor warnings: https://i.imgur.com/E77hIGS.png which I don't really know the severity in the context of running a public eCommerce website.

    Right now, when I want to change something, I'll login via RDP, update the code, build it, then run a couple publish scripts that copy the new files to the web directory - all from the VPS. The source code is controlled via MS Visual Studio online (git configuration). This has worked perfectly fine so far. I am the sole developer for this website. It's for an existing company and might see some traffic immediately, as well as over time since it's an established business.

    Questions

    1. How should I set up the deploying of files from a test computer to this production computer? Do I set up a VPN? If so, should the VPN be running on a separate VPS? I did look into this a bit but Azure has a steep learning curve in my opinion, any tutorials to get this working, if it's recommended, would be helpful.
    2. I notice that I constantly get update notifications for the server. Is this common? Does MS really expect me to update the server and restart on a regular basis?
    3. There is budget for the monthly costs of these servers. What should I look at for initial production environment server specs?

     

    Any help is appreciated.

    Edit website contents directly like website builders

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 08:23 AM PST

    I'm creating a personal website with flask and I wanted to create a way to edit text without having to manually do it in HTML. For example, in website builders, you can just create new sections or edit the text anywhere without having to go into the HTML.

    I know there should be some admin functionality where you can log in and access all the elements. But I'm not sure how to get started on this. I'm assuming flask would work since I'm taking user input to change something.

    What does a job coding in PHP entail?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 12:06 PM PST

    I am pursuing a career as a web developer, and after learning about the field for a while I have become more aware of the differences and working conditions of front end and back end developers.

    I came to the opinion that front end design is very chaotic/stressful, you have to be very creative and manage a lot of things.

    Logic and math have always came very natural to me, so I realized back end may be more up my alley.

    I have a strong aptitude for PHP.

    So I have two questions:

    -What will your basic junior PHP developer do essentially? (Projects and day to day responsibilities)

    -What should I learn about to become a better PHP developer and help me land a job? (frameworks, OOP, MYSQL)

    In my web dev certificate program we focused on using PHP and MYSQL database together. Performing CRUD operations (insert,read,update, delete) and database manipulation, using queries, using user inputs from forms and conditionals to process the information etc.

    That was the bulk of it. But is this enough to land a junior php developer job?
