    Do any web developers use Linux for work ever or is it always Windows or Mac?

    Posted: 24 Mar 2020 04:30 PM PDT

    I'm nearing my entrance into the web development world soon and have started to appreciate the non-profit open-source nature or Linux compared to closed-source Windows and Mac but I doubt any web developers use Linux but I'm just here to check and see if any do and if so if it's even realistic to get everything done on Linux for web development?

    What are the downsides to adaptive web design?

    Posted: 24 Mar 2020 02:24 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    In the quarantine I decided to come back to making my portfolio webiste- I'm far from professional but enjoy the process so tend to make my own websites (I'm a filmmaker). I wanted to use an adaptive model to make my website mobile friendly as I wanted to use a design for the desktop version that wouldn't work on mobile and this seems like the best solution. I won't be updating it very much at all once it's made & it's a small website anyway so updating 2 websites wouldn't be an issue. Are there any real downsides to this? Should I change my design to work with responsive or am I ok to run with this?

    I can’t design but I need it

    Posted: 24 Mar 2020 02:35 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I've been experimenting with web projects. The problem I face is that I'm good with the backend but not front end. I'm not good at art. I can't design. I know CSS and html but I prefer back end to doing anything design related.

    The problem is that I want the projects I work on to have good UIs. I don't want to focus more on learning design because then I wouldn't be able to focus on back end as much and I don't like being a jack of all trades.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Something is off on my sites nav

    phillipwhiteman.com

    If you look at my nav box font, you'll see what I'm talking about. Going from the home page to projects and/or press pages there is a slight change in my font weight or something. Its not consistent and it's driving me crazy. Please advise. I have spent a good 2 hours trying to trouble shoot this and cannot find the solution. I'm assuming this is something extremely silly I've done to myself here.

    PROBLEM SOLVED I only had the link to my font on that one page.

    Dealing with always feeling like I need to build something?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 06:57 PM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    I'm sure i'm not unique in this as a full time developer, so I wanted to get a feeling from people here of how they deal with this feeling.

    More specifically, I constantly feel like I need to be working on building something exceptional or programming, and at times it feels like it starts to bleed into my general happiness. Part of that frustration is a result of feeling like I have the drive, but I have no ideas or don't have anything to build. It ends up leaving me in this sort of endless thought cycle where I want to build something, but have no ideas, which makes me feel like i'm wasting time/potential, and so on and so forth.

    Transitioning From Flash As a Designer, Not a Developer

    Posted: 24 Mar 2020 02:07 AM PDT

    I'm wanting to know how multimedia designers (not site developers) are transitioning away from the Flash authoring suite. Flash was an all-in-one tool, not just a video player.

    Some background knowledge: I know HTML5, CSS3, and am learning JavaScript. In researching how to transition away from Flash I learned that ActionScript and JavaScript are both based off of the same standard, and are very similar, and that you replace ActionScripts manipulating a scene/canvas with JavaScripts manipulating an HTML5 <canvas> tag.

    Frustratingly, that's about as deep as the info always gets. All I can find is an overwhelming flood of websites all saying the same shallow statements "learn HTML5 and JS", or "HTML5 and JS can do everything Flash could and more." with no further details or reasoning given.

    Here's where I'm confused:

    Flash wasn't just a media player, it was a full authoring suite where you could draw line art, apply that art to keyframes, assign transitions and transformations, and apply sounds with effects, all inside a keyframe editor and timeline. You could even apply scripts to single frames and those could then mass-manipulate the timeline and/or objects and graphics loaded into your scene. Basically, you could make full fledged computer programs with embedded artwork and sound and call that a website, like homestarrunner.com and many others did. For small projects it was fast, and it was easy, and it barely required any scripting, and essentially no web developer skills.

    How, exactly, is all of that done now? I don't understand, and I don't know what I've missed. How are you supposed to do any of what you could do with the Flash authoring tools using only HTML, CSS, and JS!? How are designers and animators transitioning away from Flash? How are people creating and then manipulating artwork, keyframe timelines, scene transitions, and more without the Flash authoring tools?

    What your most favourite langauge to use?

    When your told that (pick a framework) is too complicated for company use?

    Posted: 24 Mar 2020 12:54 PM PDT

    I was tasked with building a SPA for a company I work for and my manager was excited to hear I was going to be using one of the fancy new ( probably more by now ) JS frameworks Vue.js. Mainly to see how much time I could save after the initial learning curve.

    Well I built the SPA but according to my manager, after I showed him everything and explained for a few hours how Vue.js all works, said that Vue.js or any other framework is too technical for the company and would be too complicated to maintain.

    Apparently more traditional markup, no db, no nothing is more in line with their (his) comfortability. Non dev since 2008.

    Apparently even SASS was an issue since he kept trying to modify the css after everything was compiled. Then went on to ask about IT burdens this new framework could impose...

    Mind you I've built dozens of apps and websites for this company since I've been here but I think the fact that this all came around him at once was overwhelming.

    I think in all my years working as a dev I have only run into someone like this who outright fears change.

    Curious how others handle constructive criticism like this?

    How to choose a WebRTC solution for P2P video calls?

    Posted: 24 Mar 2020 04:31 PM PDT

    I am in need to make a video call app, but the amount of backend solutions and SDKs is so overwhelming that it's hard to find appropriate. I am looking for something that would take care of the call setup on the server and preferrably also a frontend JS library/SDK to make it all easier.

    I am seeing such a pile of technologies — Janus, Kurento, PeerJS, Jitsi, EasyRTC, Pion... and then there's even larger quantity of commercial platforms like Twilio, ApiRTC, Vonage, Icelink, Voxlink, Agora, AntMedia etc.

    Do you have any experience with some of the tools? I only need the platform to set up P2P (relayed, if direct is impossible) video calls, most of the tools seem overkill in the variety of features and limiting in the customization abilities of the SDK.

    Some of the abilities and customizations that I might need:

    • force a certain audio codec
    • disable video from one party
    • get rapid reconnects after connection outages, even long ones
    • (maybe) add multiple audio tracks that could be dynamically be enabled and disabled
    • gather stats about the connection
    • select input devices
    • specify audio output device
    • change devices without reconnecting

    I am aware that these features are not super hard in WebRTC, but many of the platform provided/bundled JS libraries seem to lack multiple of these abilities and are not easily customizable.

    Couple questions about CDNs...

    Posted: 24 Mar 2020 03:17 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I'm trying to understand in which situations certain types of CDNs are worthwhile.

    I understand this: if I only have a few JS files, it's fine to grab them off of a CDN with a local fallback.

    However, I don't understand what the situation is if I host my website on a CDN. If my whole website is on a CDN, should I upload and keep the JS libraries in the same place, or should I still link to an external JS-library hosting CDN? Why or why not?

    Also, in what contexts is it worthwhile to host a small-ish static site with an international audience on a CDN? Would traditional hosting be better/have any advantage?

    Thank you!
