Posted: 16 Sep 2020 03:59 AM PDT I feel like I am a decent junior web dev, but when I see the job requirements or just the internship requirements makes me depressed [link] [comments] | ||

Cookie consent should be handled from inside the browser Posted: 16 Sep 2020 10:51 AM PDT I don't get why there needs to be such a headache to provide propper cookie consents. Cookies are saved and read by the browser so why not handle cookie consent in the browser as well? This would also prevent cheaty tactics to force people into accepting all cookies or different other things because of standardized consent forms. What's the matter? Why is it handled that way? Why do some websites have to pay hundrets of dollars a month just to handle cookie consent? Why do we need thousands of different cookie consent forms? [link] [comments] | ||

What frameworks should I choose for app development? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 06:43 AM PDT I'm currently learning Django and I'm not sure if I want to proceed with it or start learning React/Vue. I thought that Vue and Django were backend frameworks and React was frontend so you could use both of them to fully develop an app. Am I wrong? [link] [comments] | ||
Opinion on my full stack bootcamp experience Posted: 16 Sep 2020 06:38 AM PDT Just finished a 15 week full stack bootcamp Cost 8800€ / 12 weeks online / 3 weeks on campus with housing / Career Service / lots of single and group projects and big final project *Real course benefits: * - network - Sanity as you realize everyone has the same struggle and is as dumb as you are. - Certificate / proven record of learning Speaking in context of European education It's not worth 500-1000€ a week. If you go through a good udemy full stack course it's likely that it's** even better** because the pace in a bootcamp can both be too fast or too slow at times and the explanations and problem solving are already given, you don't have to wait until class meets to ask for help or even wait 2 hours until you get a chance to ask for help. Get good at reading documentation and understanding the logic. Also try to read documentation and work on a feature instead of theory first, practice later, big waste of time. The most valuable part of the bootcamp is the pressure which brings you fast forward. Also I would hang around for hours to see problems of other students being solved while I paid ~11€/hour (which is cheap in comparison to other bootcamps). This time could've been used to work on my projects. So effectively I would profit from 1-3 hours of 8 hour days. A lot of time wasted in between for stand ups, problem solving of** problems I don't have. And the other time would be blocked by me working on my projects **on my own anyways So if you say you really profit 2 hours a day from the bootcamp, 11€ become 44€ (not considering wasted time). I have a certificate now. 3 years of studying at university cost 1500€ in my country. Definetly better deal. I am a fan of not going to university and doing your own shit but also why not. Here it is nothing compared to the states. If you are fresh out of school I would definitely recommend just go to university, learn programming on the side. If you are a career changer, I would recommend, save your money, work part time if you want to be faster and self learn. Or attend a free bootcamp. Use courses, try to get addicted, build things you like with the concepts you have to learn At some point I wouldn't really have any use of the course because I was ahead due to udemy courses and other resources. I think with 7-9000€ there are so many better options and it's just not worth it anymore in 2020. If you pay a private teacher 30€ for an hour one on one 3 days a week to mentor you and solve some major problems you have and give you the right homework, I believe you would have more from that. Edit: considering jr web dev jobs are not paying incredibly well anymore and bootcamps still charge the same as 6 years ago whilst their marketing pitch is based on your high paying job afterwards feels scammy Edit2: VERY IMPORTANT for career changers - A lot of bootcamp graduates have a hard time getting a job. If you have a job now, don't quit before you got a webdev job. The uncertainty, stress, confusion, money loss is a worse position than doing your job a few more month until you find a tech job. For some people it takes more than half a year. They apply to 200 companies and have 2 interviews. [link] [comments] | ||
How does Google Translate Handwriting input work? Any other sites that have the same functionality? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 12:06 PM PDT I got the idea to ask because a friend of mine is too heavily disabled to type (hand shakes all over the place) and can't write with a traditional pen because can't hold it, but owns a 2in1 type laptop so can sort of write by dragging one finger over the screen.

Posted: 16 Sep 2020 07:09 AM PDT I am passionate about code, but that doesnt make me unique, I do like making websites for fun and make them unique in way, but again I dont feel thats something to brag about etc. So how can a simple person sell himself as unique to the interviewer(for junior positions, to increase his chances to land the job)?

Wanting to create a very portable feature. Posted: 16 Sep 2020 03:18 PM PDT I am working on a website meant to help explain Backtracking and Backtracking optimization. On the website there will be animations both interactive and not that show how Backtracking works on the tree (where each branching is a decision made). I am not using any frameworks and there is no back-end in this project. I want to make my animations easy for someone else to embed on their own website the same way that you can embed YouTube or Twitter. I want the person embedding my animations to be able to customize it to use their own Problem Type, Problem data, Pruning logic, and some presentation parameters. Problem Type, Problem Data, and Pruning Logic are input by adding javascript functions. How should I write this? Does anyone know any guides on how to do this? If I need to elaborate in any way I can do so. [link] [comments] | ||
Is there a recommended standard on response time for drop down jQuery calls? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 11:13 AM PDT I haven't worked in web development in years, and aside from writing some Flask sites for hobby projects or using static site generators I know nothing about the modern stuff. What I do work in is service management, and I'm trying to fill some gaps in my knowledge about quality standards for web applications. Right now I am working through a product issue with a vendor and most of it stems from slow jQuery calls when populating drop downs. For example, if I select "Make" of "Ford" it will request all of the models for that manufacturer. Then if I pick "Expedition" it will make another call to pull all of the types of Expeditions (XLT, MAX, etc.). Well, picking Ford can cause slow response times on the list of models, and it's worse when choosing the types of Expeditions. What I'm curious about is if there's a web development standard or guideline that can list out minimal standards for response times on these types of requests to help reinforce that this is an issue affecting our users. If there's any reference materials or recommended reading to help me get up to speed on the right terminology that will help me ask the right questions as we work through the problems. Mods - I don't think this breaks rule #7 since it's pretty specific, but I can resubmit this on the pinned thread if it's a violation. Thank you! [link] [comments] | ||
Good resources for naming components? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 02:30 PM PDT I'm finding that one of my biggest problems is naming things. I often find myself spending a lot more time than I want to trying to figure out what I should call components instead of actually working on them. I know this isn't standardized, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any good resources with a more or less comprehensive guide for naming common components, perhaps with examples of each component and common names? For an example of the problem, for one project, I have a main area of the screen for dog information, with a typical "card" component for the dogs name, picture, and basic details, then a bottom text area with more information. I'm not really sure what to call this that's both descriptive and obvious enough for other people to understand it. For now, I've just been naming things with the intent of going back and renaming them later, but this is going to be painful with more and more nested components. [link] [comments] | ||
Take over somebody else's work Posted: 16 Sep 2020 10:33 AM PDT So my mother in law has her own website that was built by a web developer many years ago. I recently started studying web development, and she asked me if I could make some changes to her website. How should I approach this? Do I have to contact the other web developer so he can share the website's code with me? Or is there another way to go about it? [link] [comments] | ||
How can I make a simple SAML SP application for use with GSuite? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 08:06 AM PDT A local school asked me if I could make them an online gradebook app and I'm currently researching the technologies that I'm gonna use. The school has GSuite Enterprise with registered email addresses for each student/teacher/admin. To make things as simple as possible, I want to make it so the users can log into my web app with their school-issued email address and password. After poking around a bit in the GSuite admin console, I found SAML which (if I understand correctly) does exactly that. The problem is that it's a very complicated protocol and I don't know how to set it up. I want my php login page to redirect the student to their GSuite login page, and either return a success message with the student's email address (for internal identification) or a login error. To over-simplify, basically I want to turn this into something like OAuth where the user logs in and gets redirected to my website with a success/error code. [link] [comments] | ||
Examples of tasks in 2-week sprint Posted: 16 Sep 2020 09:39 AM PDT I don't know anything about agile, but I understand there's 2-week sprints. What is an example of everything on your plate from a new sprint? Types/how many tasks, how often you do/don't finish everything assigned to you, etc. Any specific examples of laughably easy sprints where you could finish everything in a day or two and have the rest of the time to do whatever the hell you want?

How do you feel about a mentorship in 2020? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 07:06 AM PDT Hey, I'm about to graduate with a bachelor of informatics with a specialisation in new media design. We've had web dev courses and design courses mostly. But as we all know work is incredibly different from university. As I have seen throughout my first internship all developers work differently, but I am wondering is there a place for an apprenticeship in their daily work. As I am about to graduate and do not feel too comfident in myself I am looking to apply for some kind of training or apprenticeship as a Junior web developer or something. I am mostly interested in Vue, static site generators - gridsome, js animation libraries, three.js and maybe even wordpress for handling backend of even the whole site. Do you think the apprenticeship - master to student model is outdated in 2020? [link] [comments] | ||
Good web dev / software dev purchases? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 09:04 AM PDT Hey all! What are some good products you would reccommend that have helped you on your web dev / software dev journey? (excluding books, of course books help) :D Some things that have helped me a lot are a good laptop, whiteboard / markers since I'm a visual learner / thinker. What are some physical, or maybe digital purchases you've made that have helped your career? [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 16 Sep 2020 12:12 PM PDT Hi guys, noob here, wanted to ask something that I do not understand about side-margins in web design. So basically why do most websites today have a narrow width (more margin on sides) and a very few have a widescreen design. So my research tells me that it might be because the Devs want to simulate the mobile experience on desktop as well and might be doing it to create a more seamlessly aligned experience for the end user. Is it somewhat true? Can someone please tell me in a little more detail about this? Just to specify I'm taking particularly about marketplaces like Amazon. [link] [comments] | ||

How can I improve my css skills when it comes to things like units ? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 06:53 AM PDT I'm really creative person and it hurts me when I realise I can't do good css. I like working from scratch so I usually don't like using css frameworks all the time. Currently I feel comfortable with flexbox but I have a hard time figuring out how big or small things have to be. The difference between using vh, %,rem. And where to use a certain unit and when to use the other etc. Everytime I watch tutorials they seem to do it on the fly which makes no sense, how do you know where you will position everyting and how the calculator buttons have enough space ? Do you know any guide that isn't a follow along tutorial that explains css ? [link] [comments] |
