| Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread Posted: 01 Jan 2021 04:00 AM PST Due to a growing influx of questions on this topic, it has been decided to commit a monthly thread dedicated to this topic to reduce the number of repeat posts on this topic. These types of posts will no longer be allowed in the main thread. Many of these questions are also addressed in the sub FAQ or may have been asked in previous monthly career threads. Subs dedicated to these types of questions include r/cscareerquestions/ for general and opened ended career questions and r/learnprogramming/ for early learning questions. A general recommendation of topics to learn to become industry ready include: Front End Frameworks (React/Vue/Etc) Testing (Unit and Integration) Common Design Patterns (free ebook) You will also need a portfolio of work with 4-5 personal projects you built, and a resume/CV to apply for work. Plan for 6-12 months of self study and project production for your portfolio before applying for work. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Why does the job market for front-end engineers/developers look so bleak these days? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 03:26 AM PST It seems like so many companies want either full-stack engineers/developers or back-end engineers/developers. The demand for front-end engineering/development doesn't seem to be up there with the other two. At least, that's the impression I'm getting from having applied to jobs in the past month. I really want to be a front-end engineer/developer, but it looks like I'm going to have to go full stack if I want to have front-end-related work in my day to day. Either that, or maybe I'm just not searching well enough? It also seems like other fields are more willing to accept junior-level developers, whereas, for the front end, it looks to me like most companies are looking for senior-level front-end engineers/developers.

| My 2021 webdev resolution: Simplify, simplify, simplify Posted: 01 Jan 2021 01:32 PM PST I am a freelance dev, and I work alone, so many of these wouldn't work for a team. My list is below, would love any feedback:
I just feel like 2020 webdev is a shit show of over complication. I was mentoring a junior dev at a client's company and he had no idea how to start a project from scratch. He'd fire up some command line utility to scaffold a project and in the process was learning nothing at all. This was for basic landing pages mind you, not an app. But the mindset seems to be "let's complicate everything!". I don't want to rain on anyone's parade. If you love everything about the state of webdev today, fine. Good for you! But its just not as fun for me as it once was. Its been years since I just coded for fun. I want to get back to that.

| What technology stack/hosting would you choose to develop an e-commerce site with a CMS in 2021? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 01:13 PM PST I'm just curious to poll the community and find out what technology stacks come to mind for ecommerce. What payment processors do you like? What CMS do you use for easy product adding / editing / deleting for the customer? What frameworks do you use for the front and which for the back? Or do you say screw it all and go with shopify? How much do you leverage Saas solutions? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Seeking UK devs' advice for networking and how to tackle UK job market Posted: 01 Jan 2021 11:34 AM PST Hey all, Long story short, after 8 months of learning and project building, I'm finally confident enough to start looking for my first junior role. Thus, I'm seeking advice from current devs in the UK or London area that could advise me on how to network effectively (obviously with current limitations). I understand that networking is an important channel to land your first job, or at least an interview so I want to start doing it. So far, I have added people in LinkedIn with a quick opener question and hoping for the best. Also, when I apply for jobs I do some research for the company and try to connect with people that work in the dev departments. So far, nothing... :( not even one connection... Has anyone here got experience in going from self-taught to junior in UK/London? [link] [comments]  | ||
| What's the best way to use SVG icons on websites these days? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 04:00 PM PST I have some icons (in SVG format) that I would like to use on my website. Ideally I would also like to be able to scale and color them with CSS (for example with font-size: and color:). What's the best way to do that these days? Do you link the individual SVG files with <img>? Do you include the SVG code directly in the page with an <svg> tag? Do you make an SVG sprite and then use <use>? Do you make a webfont? Do you make a CSS sprite? I have searched around a bit but the amount of different options and tools is slightly overwhelming. I found some references to gulp-svg-sprite which seems quite useful, but I'm not sure if that is still up to date. There also seems to be an app called IcoMoon that some sites recommend?

| I read that cool math games switched to HTML 5 with Flash now dead. What does that include? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 12:04 PM PST Is it just all a combo of HTML, CSS, and JS? Edit: thank you for all of the answers! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Beginner Resources for Understanding Websockets/How to Move Beyond Local? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 03:29 PM PST Hello, I am a 3rd year eleceng student who is in a rush to make some interesting project. I am aware that this is not directly related to web development however my searches for websocket information on reddit often leads to this subreddit so I am hoping someone here has the knowledge to point me in the right direction. I have set a project goal to create a system for measuring moisture in an area and being able to turn on/off a valve in that area over wifi. In order to do this I would need a system that allows 2 way communication, the ability to request data to get a moisture reading, and the ability to send information to turn on/off the valve. I plan to use a esp32 as it allows wifi connection. I have looked around and people say websockets are the way to go for real time two way communication, however I cannot find many beginner friendly resources, they all assume I have solid knowledge of how servers work. I took a free crash course in html/css/javascript on frontendmasters and was able to follow a tutorial https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-websocket-server-arduino/ and edit it to work for live control of a motor as a project to gain understanding. However now that I want to take the next step I am very confused. My main issue is that I do not have enough knowledge on Websockets and how they work to create a server and even lesser an idea of how to put one online. If anyone has a link to any beginner friendly resources on this topic, point me in a general direction or is able to answer any of my questions I would appreciate it greatly! [link] [comments]  | ||
| How can I fetch a HTML page inside of a chrome extension without hitting CORS error? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 03:17 PM PST In my background.js file I am currently calling this function. This function works if I use cors-anywhere proxy. Is there a way for me to avoid using a proxy and still be able to fetch the HTML file from the URL? The error I am getting without the proxy

| Looking for young people to connect with Posted: 01 Jan 2021 11:29 AM PST Hello, I am looking for young developers (I'm 17 myself) to connect with. All of my real life friends have different goals and interests than me. Therefore I don't really have anyone to talk with about my self improvement and business. I feel like I really need someone to talk with about those things. If you are into marketing, e-commerce or web development and would like to connect let me know. Maybe we could build some projects together. (English / dutch speaking) Also if you have other tips feel free to let me know. ✌🏼 [link] [comments]  | ||
| What do I need to know to create an e-commerce website? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 07:02 AM PST Besides HTML, CSS and JavaScript, what else does one need to know to make an e-commerce website from scratch? I am sure one needs a database to store information about products, customers and other details... And here is where I get confused, because I see the traditional way is to use PHP, SQL and PHPMyAdmin, but now a lot of people are talking a lot about other concepts such as Django, MongoDB, etc. I don't understand if they are the same thing. Can someone please clarify this aspect? Thank you very much! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Using these transitions on actual page changes Posted: 01 Jan 2021 02:21 PM PST Hello, first off I'll admit that my front end skills are super subpar, and I'm currently trying to figure this problem out on my own, I'm just posting here incase I can't get it. I found these page transitions I really like on codepen https://codepen.io/karolpodlesny/pen/npKqu But the issue is that they just open and close different containers all in the same html file. I would like to use the transitions to link between different pages on a website. I've tried deconstructing the js but it feels like I'm just grasping at straws I would really appreciate any help on this [link] [comments]  | ||

| How to install/pull in Semantic UI in a Gatsby project? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 01:03 PM PST I'm currently starting from scratch a Gatsby project and would like to use Semantic UI, however notice that I'm not trying to use Semantic UI React. My first approach was to put the CDN in the `src/components/seo` file inside of Helmet tag from `react-helmet` package. THIS WORKS but when loading the page I notice a slight glitch, the page takes some time to overwrite the local styles to apply the Semantic UI styles. This annoys me. I also brought in to the project a `semantic.min.css` file that lives inside of the the `src` folder. In my `gatsby-browser.js` file imported the semantic min css like this: `import './src/semantic.min.css';` I would appreciate any help or different ways to do this and avoid the "glitch" from the first approach. Thanks!!! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Question about Semantic Elements in HTML5 Posted: 01 Jan 2021 05:56 AM PST Hello, so I know there are semantic elements like Header, Footer, Nav, etc. However, what are the best practices when using these? For example, I believe they can only be used once to describe a main page's header and footer and nav, since a page usually only has one of each and never 2 footers, but lets say if you're creating some kind of Card or Accordion component, you can say those components can have a Footer, e.g: CardFooter or AccordionFooter and you may put action buttons. Is this a good use case for Footer? Likewise, a Card may have a Header, e.g: CardHeader, instead of just using a div, can you also use a Header? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Trouble finding a good website host Posted: 01 Jan 2021 10:49 AM PST Hey ya'll I'm trying to create a website for a medium construction company 10-30 employees. They want something that they can attach certain items to QR codes and be able to create "Reports" ,which include, a time stamp, a number, the item, a set remove and notes feature, the person doing the work, and a collection of all the items that they can search through based on the number and specific item. I'm completely lost on where I even begin. I'm not a coder so I need some website that allows these things with pre fabricated options. any suggestions for host sites? [link] [comments]  | ||
