| What website features did you take for granted before you got into web development? Posted: 14 Jun 2021 01:51 PM PDT For me, I never stopped to think that the ability to close a menu by clicking outside of the menu is a feature that has to be written. Before I got into web development, it was just some magic I took for granted. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Beginner wonders about the limits of a single person in webdev Posted: 14 Jun 2021 08:35 AM PDT I'm a middle-age guy considering trying to change careers and get into webdev. Over they years I've dabbled in Wordpress/Drupal/RubyOnRails, but I paid for and took Wes Bos' Advanced React course in order to see the exciting cutting edge of web development. I wanted something original and tailored to my interest for my portfolio, so I used what I learned to try to build an app that allows users to upload an item with photograph, description, and geo-location to a database. The end goal is to allow users to rate those items and display them on a map. I explored a few different tech stacks. I explored very intro-level GIS. At present I'm using Next.js, Apollo, Tailwinds, Mapbox, Keystone-Next, Postgres. I deployed it on Vercel + Digital Ocean. The whole thing is getting complex enough that I'm starting to wonder about testing. I've worked on the project for several months, and my current product is pretty underwhelming. Every aspect from the the front to the back is fragile, clunky, and half-baked. Even if/when I 'finish' it, the end product will be a security and maintenance nightmare. The experience is making me question the wisdom of my course. I'm wondering how realistic it is for one person to build and maintain a project past a certain level of complexity. Looking at the trouble Wes seems to be having getting all of the deliverables for the Advanced React course in one place at one time makes me think this is an issue at various levels of expertise. (His project is a DIY shopping site. No shade, but the course was delivered late and we're still waiting on the deployment and testing components, delivery date unknown). All of the components of this system seem so complex and fragile. While I'm proud of what I built and what I learned along the way, and while I admire what Wes built for his course, neither his project nor mine seem to be at a level of polish you could hand to a serious customer. In addition to all of the choosing and managing of constantly changing components along with their integration, you still have to manage maintenance, security, and performance once you have finished! This might be the wrong forum to have this discussion, but how realistic do you think it is to build and maintain an application like this as a single person? As an already-old beginner, should I focus on building simpler brochure sites (which honestly seems to be what a lot of JAMStack caters to)? Is the goal with a project like this to demonstrate knowledge that can get you hired onto a team of people that share the job of creating and maintaining a project like this? Is the root of the issue the JavaScript development environment? I would be more open to the idea that I'm just a dumb noob that thinks this is harder than it is, but every couple of months I see a dev on 'dev Twitter' flame out with a "Why I'm quitting front-end" post. A virtual penny for your thoughts. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Filling out a JSON API request with little to no documentation? Posted: 14 Jun 2021 03:23 PM PDT Hi Everyone, Sorry if this is not the best place to post a question, I wasn't sure what other subreddit I could go to. I have a project at work where I need to make an API call to an application a developer from my company wrote. This is basically my first time doing anything where I'm making a web request to an application. In a nutshell, I have established some basic json requests that I'm sending to the API via postman using an example the dev gave me. My issue - there's absolutely NO documentation on what needs to go into the API request, such as what elements are required and a description of what those elements are for.
There's some basic information I know how to fill out that are specific to my industry (claims), it's the elements that are specific to the application that I'm having an issue with; e.g. elementSystemID, etc. The dev who wrote this is always busy, and I can never find a window where I can have him sit down and walk me through it. I was given a swagger link, which seems to give a profile of the request and response, but there's no definitions or examples in here. I DO have access to their Kibana dashboard, though, which lets me see some of the incoming requests.
Are there any best practices on how to make API request when there's little to no documentation? Or is it one long game of trial and error? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Question about static vs dynamic sites and SPA sites on static site hosts Posted: 14 Jun 2021 01:04 PM PDT netlify free version can be used to host static websites. As I understand, a static website is the frontend without a backend. Although you can still have a backend if you build it as a rest API which you communicate with via AJAX, but the backend would not be hosted on netlify. Also I think netlify has backend features built in (serverless). So according to the above description, a SPA site is a static site. How would netlify know if it's a static or dynamic site? Because to run a SPA site, you can to run a js app, right? I don't think you can just upload the files and that's it? You have to turn it on by running the react/vue/angular app. So you need a server which you can connect to with ssh and enter the commands in the terminal. The same thing goes for a dynamic site which comes with the backend, such as a django app. So, it becomes about netlify not wanting you to load or change any html from the server side (backend)? But how does it check that? And SPA and static sites can have a backend as I explained earlier, they just don't come bundled with the frontend like in the case of Django. Hopefully someone can help me to finally understand this whole concept about static and dynamic and SPA sites hosted on static web hosts such as netlify (one of many popular static web hosts).

| Best iOS app for practicing programming offline? Posted: 14 Jun 2021 10:08 AM PDT Going off the grid camping for a week and feel it's the best time to practice some programming without being distracted by the internet and Reddit. Anyone know of any paid or non-paid iOS apps to help you practice programming? This might be a long shot because I feel like absolutely nothing works without the internet these days but hoping someone has a lead. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Do you know any youtuber who makes cool videos about programming (not tutorials) Posted: 14 Jun 2021 03:51 PM PDT I can only find videos about "How to create a sever using JS", "Why I left my job at Google", "Facebook interviews", "Why you shouldn't use JSON"... And they are boring AF. What I would love to see is videos about developers making stupid and funny project just for fun, or maybe video vlogs about a funny bug or something interesting. Not just tutorials of "How to make a todo project and get a job in Microsoft". Do you know any channel? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Is this testing method secure enough for development? (SSH temporary connection) Posted: 14 Jun 2021 02:42 PM PDT Hello, I'm interested in learning best practices and pros/cons of developing locally and exposing ports. Not my code so I'm interested if this is a secure enough approach, as it's quicker than setting up a development server, and will allow for easier development on my end. The requirement is for an endpoint that needs to receive a request from another service and return data.
So from my perspective, nothing is online, except a generic endpoint called testing, which is only online during testing. And anything that connects to it gets a 404, but as it's mapped to one specific endpoint, they couldn't even fuzz out the layout of the API. If my server got hacked, they could fuzz out the layout of the API, but it would still only be 404 messages, as I'm allowing IPs locally via flask. And then the codebase stays offline. Is this ok? It seems like a cool way to do it. But it's not my code so I want to be sure. I asked the admin on the project too, but as I wait for a response I thought it would good to get some insight into whether or not this is stupid. It's nice from a testing perspective for ease of use, because I can keep everything offline until I want to test, and then just ssh -N testing to start the connection. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Detect overlapping periods with Moment Posted: 14 Jun 2021 02:32 PM PDT I've recently come across an interesting situation, when start & end date are nullable - and null to be considered as infinity. Thus, if StartDate is null - it is infinity in the past. And if EndDate is null - it is infinity in the future. Here is my solution: [link] [comments]  | ||

| I'm working on a web app for a popular AAA game series, have some questions Posted: 14 Jun 2021 10:12 AM PDT For now, I have just plain text, but I want to incorporate images & icons from the game just to spice up the UI a bit and make it more appealing. Is that ok to do? Obviously I won't take any credit for the assets. Do I need to mention anything specifically in a piece of text somewhere? Or just stick to plain text like I already have? Thanks!

| I don't know if I like web development! Does it get better as I learn? Posted: 14 Jun 2021 01:39 PM PDT Luckily I'm probably not going to be a web developer for a career, but I have to take a class on it for my degree and I hate it so much! I don't like how specific you have to be for everything, and how I'll try to add something in just for the fun of it and everything goes wrong because of that thing! I don't know if it is the book we are reading, Murach's HTML5 and CSS3 4th Edition, or what, but I spent no joke 5 hours yesterday converting our website from a fixed layout to a responsive one. I've been thinking of starting something like the Odin Project to try and learn some more on my own time so I won't hate it so much, but I don't know if I'll even have the motivation to do that! I really want to learn web development, because I do have some ideas for some websites. Can someone give me some advice pls! Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
