    How to get out of being an beginner amateur hobbyist level on back end programming?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 05:19 AM PST

    TL;DR::: My programming skills are just a cheap truck that can impress my friends and family. How do I make it useful and prepare myself for potential professional use?

    ___________Long___________

    I'm still in High School, but I found coding very enjoyable and have been trying to learn it for a while. I have descent experience in python (most from making games), but recently I have been going into web development.

    I already knew basic HTML and css, but I began learning PHP and JS. I have made a few pretty basic websites . The latest was like a weak version of reddit/discord where you can chat in different threads/servers that users can make, as well as direct messaging. I learnt many key functions through side features like uploading pictures, password encryption and security in account management and a bit on database design through MySQL.

    This all seemed pretty cool, but at the end of the day was just a fun project based on YouTube tutorials, StackOverflow and some tips from a friend in the industry.

    It's just junk code that works, but is probably not elegant and anyone could write with some tutorials.

    How do I do better to get out of this "cheap trick that impresses your grandparents" to something more proper that can actually help me later(if I were to go down this path)?

    There are still so many things that I don't know about and I have no idea how to get to it.

    Do I watch courses online? Any tips will help, thanks.

    Two malicious Python libraries caught stealing SSH and GPG keys

    I am about to take over as admin of a website. What questions should I be asking of the previous admin?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:56 PM PST

    Let me start by saying that I have several years of experience working with C/C++ and computer vision libraries. But a friend has asked me to take over the development of his website and I've no experience in web development. The main developer has agreed to meet for an hour to hand over the code repo and answer any questions I might have. He is moving away so I might not be able get a hold of him in the future. The website has been written in Angular 4.

    I need to ask him all the questions within an hour. What are some essential question I should be asking him?

    p.s. I know this is a ridiculous situation that an experienced programmer should not get himself in, but I made a promise to a friend and I intend to keep it.

    Communicating secrets (db credentials, secret_key, etc.) to devs for dev environment

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:58 PM PST

    Solo dev and pretty much always been. Hope to change that soon.

    I'm typing up a README section about setting up a dev environment for the web app I've been working on. I'm about to discuss adding environmental variables and it occurred to me I don't know what the best practice is for communicating this information to devs.

    • Even though this is a private repo, doesn't seem like it should go in the README
    • Then again, these are just dev credentials that won't be used in production
    • That being said, the dev database (which is deployed locally via docker-compose) does contain some production data... it is an old dump from the production DB that is retrieved from the network server in a shell script that is called in the Dockerfile

    So where should they go? Just refer them to some other document with this information? Have them ask me? Should I even care because, again, it is just dev credentials?

    The only secrets I'm working with at this point is those for postgres and SECRET_KEY for the Django back-end. All of which will be different in production and no one would have access to.

    Web applications without frameworks: do they need a virtual DOM?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 07:24 AM PST

    Searching for "javascript single page application without framework" on Google results in many hits.

    Do these applications need a virtual DOM? Is there any performance disadvantage to not using one?

    Devs, I have to rant for a moment.

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 04:27 PM PST

    I'm a developer. I've run the gauntlet between writing frontend applications, backend API's, services, development utilities, and infra.

    We all know the buzzwords and fancy role names companies use to get folks excited about taking a gig, and shit is getting ridiculous. I took a gig at a company that provides legal software services, and there are three different people on a team of six who remind me daily that they're "react architects".

    I don't know if at some point I drove into the upside down, but really? You're an architect of a 5.3kb UI library? What the hell does that even mean?

    You built a sick animated radar chart in D3 from scratch? Yeah, I'm blown away. Spent a shit ton of time creating an ADA compliant datetime calendar component? Damn son! You're the "architect" of a 5.2kb UI library? You're joking right? Are ya' gonna tell me where to put my portal nodes? Drop some sick routes? Maybe send me an article about lazy loading? Maybe tell me again how Thunks are the best and they're actually the only thing you've used?

    Maybe I'm overreacting here. I mean, I should have a significantly smaller workload now that I have three react architects on my team.

    Perhaps I can work something out where I'm the HTML architect.

    Good time to switch to part time at my job to focus more on studying web dev?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 04:10 PM PST

    I started learning html/css back in September and I've made a simple website so far. I believe web dev is my future and I want to devote more time to studying it during the week.

    I live with my father and have 17.5K in savings and not many expenses or debt. Is it a good idea to ask my employer for a part time position so I can study web development more?

    I want to start applying for jobs in about 9 months, is that a realistic goal? Would love advice, thank you.

    Update table row through a hyperlink?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 03:42 PM PST

    PHP/HTML

    So I have a table as shown below

     <tr> <td><?php echo $users["id"] ?> </td> <td><?php echo $users["firstname"] ?> </td> <td><?php echo $users["lastname"] ?> </td> <td><?php echo $users["email"] ?> </td> <td><?php echo $users['officer']?></td> <td><a href="update.php?id_row='.$users["id"].'">Promote</a></td> </tr>

    And I want to update the officer column for that row. I am getting the id of the row in the hyperlink as shown.

    And in the update file I am doing the following

    if(isset($_GET['id_row'])){ mysqli_query("update users set officer = '1' where id= " . $_GET['id_row'] . ""); //line7 echo "Post " . $_GET['id_row'] . " has been updated"; }

    However, the value does not get updated. Can someone please help me out?

    This is the output I get

    Post '.$users[ has been approved

    User Account Implementation

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 02:01 PM PST

    Hello,

    I have been developing an app for a client and they have a bunch of older field technicians (age 40-60). The client wishes to allow these field technicians to get onto the app (via tablets) without a need for a username/password, or at least to simplify the workflow for them, so they can easily access data on the app.

    Is there any suggestions or user-account implementation that will allow these users to use the app, but at the same time have some username associated to them while using the app. (i.e. Bob viewed this on 12/4/19).

    Here's what I was thinking of doing. Send a link, the link will set a cookie that will contain a basic identifier (i.e. John Doe) and an access token in order to make GET/POST/PUT calls to my server. I really hate this because I think i'd need this cookie to never expire, and if they'd ever manage to somehow remove the cookie... well...

    I've also looked into passwordless implementations as well. Using their phone number as a username and receiving codes via SMS.

    I'd like to hear if there are some more common or creative methods to allow users into an app without needing some sort of authentication (yeah very odd...)

    Otherwise, I have already explained to the client that they may need to train the technicians to login to the app whenever they need to.

    What are Django Serializers, and why are they Useful?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 07:54 AM PST

    Hello all. Normally I'd just google "Django Serializers" and figure it out that way, or look at the documentation, or find an article on medium. But there doesn't really seem to be an easy, simple, straight-forward answer.

    So for example, I set up my models, I set up a serializer for each model that takes in the fields, I import it into my views, and my viewsets.ModelViewSets and .... do something.... that it couldn't do through a (view)....

    Thanks for any help on this matter!

    Question for Technical Hiring Managers for Development Project Teams

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:35 PM PST

    If you're a software developer with a new "promotion" to reluctant hiring manager for a project, how would you go about finding your team of qualified software developers, database developers, software analysts, programmers,etc?

    What google search (queries, phrases) would you use to avoid scams, any specific sites or companies you'd consider?

    How realistic would you say it is for someone with zero knowledge in javascript (and has been struggling with css) to learn them, build a decent portfolio, and get an entry level front end job in 7-10 months?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:31 PM PST

    Asking because I hate my current job and got the impression today that it's about to get 10 times worse next year!

    Do most webdev employers require logging into a company network?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 09:33 AM PST

    I use a VPN so this would present a potential compatibility issue that I would need to find a solution to in advance. Are company network logins common in this field?

    If so and anyone else uses a personal VPN how do you manage the two?

    Integrating external teams in project

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 09:30 AM PST

    I have a question regarding working on a big project where you need to work with multiple teams. We are facing a difficulty in correctly isolating the parts of the project from teams which aren't responsible for the them. For example we have external designers who are providing us html templates and it's an on going task regarding fixes and improvements but we don't want them having access to the rest of the project. If we bring in these templates in let's say in symfony/react, how will we keep the design/layout independent of core project so if we need improvements in design later in time there would be no need of bringing in the external team in the core parts of the project.

    It might be a noob question but I haven't worked in a big project/team before so it's all a bit foreign to me.
