| After Reviewing Portfolios for Todays Showoff Saturdays - As a hiring manager, I have some advice Posted: 05 Sep 2020 06:49 PM PDT Been looking through a ton of portfolios today on here and I wanted to make a general - hopefully helpful post for people that are seeking to enter the industry as it stands today. For reference only, I am 19 years into this industry and have recently moved from a senior position where I selected candidates to bring in, to a VP position where I make final hiring decisions. I have worked as an engineer for Dish, Google, Vail Resorts, Home Advisor, and a couple of startups over my career. This is what companies are looking for in candidate portfolios.
TL;DR It boils down to this. If you can present solving challenging problems in your portfolio, you will absolutely get hired - EVEN if you don't have the most beautiful portfolio. If you present a portfolio full of simple components and very basic websites, you probably wont. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away and I will do my best to answer everyone. Edit: Adding my response to u/foldingaces here in regards to coming up with challenges to solve, because I should have included the suggestion it in the original post. _____ Since the people here posting portfolios are likely people looking to get into front end work or possibly full stack (thus the portfolio), a good place to start would be to use a challenge generator. This is a pretty fun one. From the options, pick "Products and UX" and then start clicking "new challenge" until you find one that sounds interesting. Just replace "design" with "develop" in the challenge idea and go for it. if you are interested in learning design, then both do a design and develop out that design. If you are full stack, find one that will require some back end work along with the UI part. Another good one is: You are now solving actual problems! Edit 2: Another suggestion is to think of a person problem you have in your life. How could code be used to solve that problem. Go do it. As an example of a problem that I recently solved with code is that I wanted a way to tag and make notes on all the National Parks and Forests I have visited (like camping notes and trails and locations if I want to go back) because I am an avid outdoorman. So I made a PWA that tied into the national parks API and stored my notes and visited parks in a database. [link] [comments]  | ||

| How to play same video in multiple locations on webpage, in sync? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 12:32 PM PDT I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I've got a short demo video that I would like to "play" in each screen on a background image like this: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/codelabs/your-first-multi-screen-site/images/finaloutput-2x.jpg Basically a "look at our app on all these devices!" thing. I can figure out the CSS positioning of each <div>/<video> element so that they're on each screen but does anyone have any ideas of the best way to automatically play a (silent) video in each location, in sync with each other? I know I've seen something like this done, I just can't find an example to pick apart. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Seeking recommendations on structured online programs Posted: 06 Sep 2020 09:59 AM PDT I'm learning webdev and I generally make more progress with structured, classroom-style learning with lectures, homework, office hours, etc compared to self-paced learning without a syllabus or student-teacher interaction. Can anyone recommend a solid online program which offers certification or associates degree on full stack development? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 06 Sep 2020 08:59 AM PDT Hello WevDev— Rookie question, have tried to Google and find relevant posts but my terminology may not have been direct enough- "privacy" is a wide term. Have been tasked with making a simple site for a family event (contents would be pre-event information and later media from the event). Plan to use WP but people have raised concern that they don't want personal information leaked (necessary content for the pre-event information) nor do they want images from the event to appear in a Google search of their name to maintain professionalism. What are best practices to ensure privacy from Web crawlers, spammers, etc? Would a site wide password be easiest/most effective? Any suggestions or references would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Please someone help me please! Posted: 06 Sep 2020 01:11 PM PDT Guys I am a front-end developer but I want to expand and be a full-stack dev. So I have been searching and learning about back-end tech. But I am so lost. So many things and so many ideas. There's Ruby on rails, Django, PHP, just JavaScript, something else... Some says PHP has security issues, some says ROR is used but too old etc. I don't know what to do. I have read countless articles about what to use. 'There is no clear answer' everyone says. Everyone says it depends on.... I always try to use the latest technologies like Vue.js, React.js etc. So I was trying to go with Django but then read some stuff and got lost again. I want to work in companies as a full-stack dev. I want to be able to make a full-fledged websites. I don't know what to do. I know it depends on the country etc. but countries follow global trend right? I don't want to spend time learning something I won't use. (I will relocate to Japan. I know they love ROR and PHP. Their technologies are a little late. But I want to learn skill that I can use everywhere. I will probably move to Canada or Europe after a few years.) Please someone tell me what should I do. Maybe this way other juniors will learn like me too. Thank you so much! [link] [comments]  | ||
| How are companies hiring Jr devs right now? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 03:41 AM PDT All of these jobs now are remote. How is it I see companies hiring jr's remotely? Don't they need a senior to work alongside them? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Can flexbox & grid completely replace "position: relative/absolute" ? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 11:03 AM PDT Recently got in to web development. Following a course on Udemy. I was having a blast until the teacher asked me to position a few pictures by using position relative and absolute. It was easy. I then accidentally resized the window all the pictures flew all over the place and now I absolutely hate this. Can I skip this part of the course and learn Flexbox on my own or will I still need to use the position absolute/relative to place things where I want them? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 06 Sep 2020 07:14 AM PDT I have been learning web development for three months now and I feel like I have a good understanding of the basics. One of the areas where I feel like I am lacking is in web security, and it is an area I would like to focus on if I want to be serious about a career in professional web development. My question is: what is the best way to go about learning about security? Are there any good YouTube channels/books/articles/courses that I can take that would give me a good understanding, at least of the basics? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Combining css-grid with bootstrap grid Posted: 06 Sep 2020 10:00 AM PDT Hi, I've been developing for a year now and i have learned to work with the bootstrap grid so far. Now i am learning css grid but I am confused. Should i combine these two? Or is it better to only use one of them? [link] [comments]  | ||
| C# ( blazor) / python (django) Posted: 06 Sep 2020 09:59 AM PDT I've been deeply thinking of converting to either python or C# for client side development from JS. As I understand it, it is possible for client side development similar to vuejs or react JS ( Correct me if I'm wrong ). If so, which would yield better results in the job market?

| Posted: 06 Sep 2020 09:22 AM PDT I pulled off a rookie movie this week: found my web domain (purchased thru Squarespace) was hooked to an old card AND an old website, so it expired and I had no idea until it was too late. The domain is now registered under a third party Tucow, requesting a $70 broker fee before even discussing how much it would cost to get back. It's absolutely not worth that much to me, but for convenience's sake I'd prefer it back. Any other options here? According to GoDaddy, the Domain Status is in "redemption period," suggesting it will be purged and up for registration in 30 days. Do I wait it out and hope nobody grabs it so I can re-register in a month? Is this a fool's errand? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Can I use links from Google Images on my own website? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 09:06 AM PDT Can I search for an image on google images, open it with right click -> show image, copy the link, and then paste the link as an image on my website? I mean if google is allowed to save the link, I can do that too, right? [link] [comments]  | ||
| PayPal Smart Payment Button Integration? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 09:03 AM PDT Hi guys, looking to integration PayPal's SPM but I have a couple of questions (looked at the documentation but couldn't find an answer) I have a static HTML and CSS website (https://moeminm.github.io/goodcode) where I offer free Adobe XD templates, I'm thinking of adding paid templates and PP's SPM looks like a good option (Stripe is not an option because it isn't supported in my country and Atlas isn't worth it at this point in time). The scenario is as follows: User clicks on download challenge > fills out CC info > purchase completed, my question is I couldn't find anything as to how to redirect the customer to the download page after payment is successful. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||
| I have been proposed with a freelance Magento project. Should I take it? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 07:56 AM PDT Hey guys, I'm a full-stack web developer with a few years of experience, mostly in PHP. I have recently been proposed a side project setting up an e-commerce site in Magento 2. I have never previously made anything in Magento and have been asking friends, reading about it, and testing it out for myself. My friends note the steep learning curve, online reviews suggest that the latest version of Magento was more or less patched together and rushed to production, leaving developers with a lot of headaches. Not only that, looking at historical data to today, it seems that Magento has lost a lot of market share in the e-commerce spectrum. So, I'm not entirely sure it's worth learning. That's what has made me come to you guys. What do you think? Does anyone have experience in Magento? If so, how bad is it actually? And, do you think this skill would be worth much in the future, particularly compared to other languages / side projects that I could be taking on instead? Note that I'm fully employed and that money isn't a big issue. TLDR; Is Magento worth learning to do for a freelance side project? Thanks for your comments and opinions! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 06 Sep 2020 07:06 AM PDT Most front end developers I've worked with and read about online mention eventually wanting to move to the server for software engineering. However, I rarely hear stories about front end developers moving to design. May I ask any of you who used to be front end developers who are now working in the UI/UX field to share your anecdotes about your path and when you knew you wanted to make the switch?
