| The dangers of blindly trusting HTTP headers Posted: 02 Dec 2019 07:34 AM PST Web developers are often unaware about the dangers of using HTTP header values in backend code. Not only can HTTP headers contain incorrect values, they can even be the payload of many different kinds of attacks on your website. I wrote an article summarizing the various ways rogue HTTP header values can be used to attack a website. Hope the information will help you developer a better understanding about the security aspect of HTTP headers and make your website more secure. https://www.hacksparrow.com/webdev/security/dangers-of-trusting-http-headers.html [link] [comments]  | ||
| How do I learn the computer science parts most necessary for web development? Posted: 02 Dec 2019 05:18 AM PST As I am starting to build simple full stack web apps I find myself struggling with a lot of concepts that I believe CS would help me with. I do know how to build a basic spring boot app. But if you might ask me how much memory an object takes VS a certain of a primitive I wouldn't know. Or even what makes them different (I know they are different in functionality and use. But not their difference in the basic level). I also can't wrap my head around Time Complexity. I want to build a good CS foundation but it's tricky. On one hand I talked with this CTO that told me I should know every part, down to the differences between HTTP 1.1 and HTTP 2.0 (he may be exaggerating). On the other hand I keep hearing from senior engineers how 95% of their degree was only useful in their resume, that they barely use anything they've learned, and that they forgot a lot of it anyways. Where is the middle ground here? I don't want to develop computer vision or make Alexa smarter. I want to build CRUD web apps that utilize web scraping. I want to know what parts of CS will be useful to ME and my goals. Here is a courseI am checking out. Do you think it will suffice? I would rather have the CS presented in a course form (even paid) because I find it's good quality and it saves time. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Dec 2019 11:58 AM PST Made this portfolio to learn more about React, get to know MUI and showcase some of my projects there. I don't know if the design is passable, but I really wanted to make a more casual/friendly-themed portfolio even though it will probably cost me when it comes to finding a job. Have also contacted the background art creator for permission. As for responsiveness, it should be ok for wide, laptop and mobile, however, it seems very slow/choppy on mobile and some laptops. I tried to optimize the media reducing png and gif sizes over 70%, and used Fullpage's lazy loading but that didn't make things much better. And it's not properly hosted yet, but I am working on it. Got any further advice on how I can optimize it? [link] [comments]  | ||

| How does one populate an app with content when using a front end javascript framework? Posted: 02 Dec 2019 03:31 PM PST For the last month or so I have been struggling with this question. One of the next logical steps in my studies of front end development is to learn how to use a JavaScript framework such as Angular or Vue.js. However, I feel blocked by this one issue that comes to mind. How does one populate a website with content (say from a database) with a framework like Vue or Angular? Based on my current research I have come to the conclusion that the only way to do this would be by loading the page and then using client-side JavaScript to request the relevant data after the initial load. This, to me, seems very inefficient. Is there any way to render the page beforehand while still keeping all the features of the frontend framework? [link] [comments]  | ||

| What Should I Know Before Hosting A Website? Posted: 02 Dec 2019 12:33 PM PST Hey guys, I've been writing CSS and HTML on and off for over 2 years now and have experimented a lot with making aesthetically pleasing projects. I recently decided I wanted to take the leap and actually put a website out there for a portfolio. I don't plan on doing anything crazy, just something simple that I can update as I get better. Is it as simple as just getting a DNS and hosting once my CSS and HTML are done? I know that JavaScript and PHP are also very important for a lot of websites, but for something as low level as a one page website with general information on it, is all of that necessary? Thanks!

| What are some good resources for a business web developer who wishes to learn UX? Posted: 02 Dec 2019 01:57 PM PST I am a full-stack web developer with a little over a decade of experience with developing line-of-business web applications. I am quite aware of the fact that at the end of the day, one of the most important factors in the success of my projects is that they need to be aesthetically pleasing and intuitive to use for my clients. However, the only real study I've done specifically about UX concerns is a reading of the book "Don't Make Me Think", by Steve Krug. I would like to know what resources are out there that I can use to become more proficient at UX as a web developer. [link] [comments]  | ||
| What are the best solutions for hosting private user-generated video? Posted: 02 Dec 2019 04:04 PM PST I'm building a niche learning platform, and a big part of it is allowing users to submit their own videos to get feedback from our professionals and other members. Currently, users just submit a YouTube URL, and dynamically embed on the site based on that. For various business reasons, in the near future, I need to have user videos uploaded directly to our platform. I'm looking for a solution that will do the heavy lifting for me, but that I can integrate into my site seamlessly. I'm looking at:
Am I on the right track with these options? Is there a better solution I'm missing? Would love any advice from folks who have built this type of feature in the past. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Dec 2019 03:22 PM PST I know that it's open source, but since it's owned by Microsoft is there any chance they could be reading code created with it? In other words, where do they make money on it? Are there any safer IDEs to use? [link] [comments]  | ||
| First website meeting with a potential customer, what do I have to ask, know? Posted: 02 Dec 2019 07:05 AM PST I'm a freelance web developer, i've worked for a few clients, but most of them already came with a briefing and timing, from other companies. I have my first client interview tomorrow for a potential small website, I was looking for some references online as to what questions to ask, and what not to ask, during the first meeting. But I couldn't find any resources on this. Can anyone help? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 02 Dec 2019 11:57 AM PST I need to edit It's my understanding that I have to restart Apache to make my changes to this file take affect. Since I'm using CentOS, I believe the command is: This is a live server with lots of sites and lots of active users, and I do not have access to a staging server, so I want to make sure there is no risk of downtime/things breaking when restarting the server. What should I be looking out for? Are there any commands I can run to verify things are set up correctly / mitigate risk of things breaking? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Restrict google search replies for my web server to Canada only? Posted: 02 Dec 2019 12:52 PM PST I have a simple static site with about 300 pages for my tree farm. About 20% of the phone calls I get are from the U.S. Most of these are from people who don't go to my actual web site, but are just using the info that Google brings up within it's organic listing. Is there a straight forward way to tell google, "Don't show my site in search queries that come from outside of Canada? [link] [comments]  | ||
| What would make a decent portfolio for a junior developer? Posted: 02 Dec 2019 04:03 PM PST I'm looking for some advice before I start working on my portfolio website.

| How to add articles and manage them on your website ? How does a CMS work ? Posted: 02 Dec 2019 03:57 AM PST I would like to design a news outlet website, if that's the correct name. I've drawn a little sketch and I have a pretty good idea about the user interface; things like the site logo, nav-bar, content placement, footer, the easy stuff. The thing that I don't understand is how does content management work?. I assume that I don't make a webpage.html for each article, right ? And if that's the case, then I am sure that there are other optimized methods of doing this (presumably CMS). How will that work ? How does it look in code ? Let's say that a user clicks on a preview (that's on index.html), where do I send him if I assume that I don't make websites (article.html) for each article ? Also, how can I make a top 100 articles based on a marking of my own choosing; example: game reviews with scores from 0 to 100; if a user clicks on Top 100 Games I would like to present him with an ordered list of the top 100 games reviewed by my website. What about auto-arranging the articles in a chronological order in a specified [div][/div] ? For example: the last five written articles should be presented chronologically from left to right in the previously specified [div][/div]. I would prefer to design this website using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, without using platforms like WordPress. This is because I have never used WordPress and from what I gather you can't add custom CSS or Javascript to a template. Any advice is welcomed. I have never done such a big project before. I've mainly done simple websites for my job. This is a project from which I hope I can learn lots of new stuff. Also, please do give me advice if you think that implementing my idea into WordPress is easier than doing it from the ground-up. I mean, I am pretty sure that it's easier, but I haven't used it before and I don't know if I can customize it to my heart's content. I assume that, when using WordPress, you select a "News" Theme that has a built-in CMS for your site which gives you, let's say, a slideshow that arranges the articles in a chronological order. Now, what if I want to change that slideshow into a design of my own ? Assuming that I can change that slideshow into something else, how do I move the CMS from the slideshow to whatever I make ? Thank you. [link] [comments]  | ||
| What do you think of all the JS/animations? Posted: 02 Dec 2019 03:43 PM PST People complain a lot that sites have become heavy and bloated. I heard ads get blamed a lot. Well, I have a tiny weak laptop and Brave as browser so it shows no ads. Still, if a site uses animations moderately to a lot (some people think they need to turn their site into some kind of art performance), it will load with lag, the experience is choppy (so it's not like I get to enjoy their artshow) and my laptop fans go woosh. Annoying. Do web developers generally luv all these moving parts and I am alone in my frustration or do you agree? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Dec 2019 03:22 PM PST My company recently changed how work is distributed with each hour being dedicated to a particular project by individuals who know nothing about development. ex: The day is broken up into 8 hours, a day typically looks like the following: * 3 hours for an ecommerce front-end build based on a design for home page, product page, and category page * 1 hour to debug "strange behavior" on a React application * 4 hours to build a custom booking application with React Something to add is It's not expected for us to finish the entire app, page, error debug, etc in a single days allocation but instead there will be multiple days with these hour sets up to whatever the non-developer person has decided the project will take. I think my biggest issue is somedays I can fix that error in 10 minutes when other days it could take me hours of debugging to come to a solution. Another example is somedays I fly through building a page when other days my brain is fogged out and I'm stuck on a fancy layout. I understand that when I get stuck I should be moving to another allocated project but sometimes I don't feel like it's time to give up until I've been spinning my wheels for too long. ---incoming imposter vibes--- I feel like I'm a bad developer and I can feel myself getting burnt out. What should I do? Is this the norm? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Dec 2019 11:33 AM PST Hello all. I've been recently given new responsibilities to help build a new company portal. I'm completely new to web development, but i'm familiar with programming in C# (our back-end) as well as Python. Right now the team just consists of me and our senior programmer. He's a little older and believes things like Angular or any new framework is unnecessarily complicated and a waste of time. Everything I find on the internet tells me that Angular is basically the industry standard and knockout is on it's way out. I'm concerned i'm wasting my time learning outdated technology and using it as the backbone of our brand new customer portal. Could anyone with a little more experience/knowledge maybe provide a little perspective? [link] [comments]  | ||
| can a distributed trace start in the client? Posted: 02 Dec 2019 03:05 PM PST Can a trace start in a client such as a browser web app? The guides I've seen to implement tracing show how to start a trace from within a microservice. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Dec 2019 01:58 PM PST Hey guys, sorry if it's a dumb question but I've been trying to figure out how to make this effect/transition but I don't even know what it's called. I'm new to web development and all I've seen is pretty much html, css, and php. Here it is, it doesn't need to be the same one but what I want to do is when you scroll down or up your whole page is just one section, never in between. Another thing is how to make the transitions happen when the user reaches that particular section and not only when you load the page, but just the scroll thing would be pretty helpful already!
