    Is there backend vs. front end drama?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 12:37 PM PDT

    My boyfriend's sister is in a CS program and learning cyber security. She told me she completed a bunch of backend stuff at the beginning of her degree program.

    I'm currently enrolled in a full stack boot camp but I told her I'm really into the UI/UX design and front end (I have a BFA in graphic design). I just finished a bootstrap course and now onto React.

    She replies "ohh so just like css and html right? Yeah, you won't ever have to do any real coding. But, you can find some good jobs and will probably cap out at like $50-$60k".

    My boot camp required us to test out of html/css/ and basic JS just to enroll 😔

    Happy birthday W3. First webpage was published exactly 30 years ago today by Tim Berners-Lee, and it's original HTML, despite an extra </a> tag and other oddities, still holds up today.

    45-yr old needs help getting back into web development

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 01:01 PM PDT

    Hey all. I'm 45 year old male living in Texas. Around 10-15 years ago I ran my own tiny single-dev home business catering to local area businesses (Mom & Pop type shops). I coded primarily in compliant HTML5, CSS3, PHP, MySQL and a little JavaScript. Never used WordPress. My preferred CMS is a powerful little known project called ProcessWire. I'm familiar enough with Windows but prefer a CLI interface on a Linux environment (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch).

    I haven't coded a site in mmmaannnyyy years. With the rapid development of technology, mobile experiences, and languages, it was tough to get "back in the game" (and it appears to be getting tougher). Last I looked into it, Node.js was/is incredibly popular. JavaScript frameworks are aplenty.

    I'm on a powerful Windows laptop. VisualStudio Code with several handy extensions. WSL and Terminal up and running well. And a Laragon coding environment. On the same machine I have a dual-boot setup with Debian, VisualStudio Code with the same extensions, and a complete LAMP environment.

    I am absolutely clueless on how to "get back in the game" and begin coding again. Learning JavaScript is a given, and I'd really like to get back into PHP. I just don't know where to start?

    Due to severe mental health issues, I struggle with employment (been unemployed 8 months out of the past two years). I mention this because I'm sure to get suggestions to buy some book, or purchase this online course. That's just something I can not afford at the moment - unless it's something super affordable?!

    Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions 👍

    So how many back-end dev teams actually write unit tests and integration tests?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 06:44 AM PDT

    None of the projects I've worked on ever had them. I like the idea and want to learn to write tests, but is it worth my while in terms of the industry?

    Is there a best practice line for media queries?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 12:44 PM PDT

    @media (max-width: width) 

    vs

    @media screen and (max-width: width) 

    vs

    @media only screen and (max-width: width) 

    They don't seem to differ all that much. Is there a general rule of thumb as to which one we should always use?

    How to extract the data from a file uploaded by a user through HTML input tag?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 12:35 PM PDT

    I've been working on a project where I need to ask the user to upload his resume and send that file as an attachment to a particular email address. I'm using nodemailer for the emaill part and that works fine. I want to be able to attach that uploaded file to the attachments part of my nodemailer sendMail or simply access the binary data to create a new file to attach. I'm using Node and express and thought that formidable would be a good choice. I've found many videos and tutorials about how to save the file in a local directory but I'm having trouble figuring out how to go about either accessing the file or directly attaching it to my node mailer sendMail. It would be great if you could help me figure out how to make this work!

    I made a mobile web app and it really only looks nice in portrait mode. What's the easiest thing I can do to keep it in portrait mode even when the phone is rotated to landscape mode?

    What is a concerning level of CPU?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 01:46 PM PDT

    Over a 24 hour period, my live web application jumps up to 15% CPU utilization about 4-5 times. The majority of the rest of the time it is between 0 and 7.5% (mostly under 2.5%). Over the last 7 days I see 1 spike up to 25%.

    I remember when first launching and things were not optimized well, there were times when it would spike over 40% and things would not load entirely for a couple of minutes. I've since optimized things and I'm going to continue optimizing things over time.

    But would 15% CPU spikes be concerning in the meantime? Should I haul ass on this planned optimization?

    How does Google Docs allow you to insert an image from a URL?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 12:29 PM PDT

    If I try to directly access an image on a different server (e.g., through fetch or an XHR request), it will probably fail because of CORS.

    How do Google Docs and a lot of other applications get around this with their insert image from URL functions?

    What tech would you build your next greenfield project with?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 04:51 AM PDT

    I recently joined a company as a front end dev that has many greenfield web apps that I will be owning. Lots of starting from scratch, very little having to integrate with legacy code or systems.

    I have experience with React, and that seems like a safe choice to build your frontend(s) with. No one used to get fired for buying IBM, and now it's probably the same situation with React.

    But the safe choice is boring and not always the best choice for your project!

    If you were starting a greenfield web app today what would you build it with and why? What tech are you curious or excited about but haven't tried yet?

    My answers are Vue and Google's Lit. It seems very nice that Vue officially supports a routing and a state-management package. Vue components also seem more accessible to other developers who might not be frontend experts, unlike React and all its JSX. Lit seems to outperform React (from my cursory research so far), makes some very impressive claims about being interoperable and future-ready, and the package itself is tiny!

    Quick NextJS Deployment Question

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 12:13 PM PDT

    I just deployed my Next app to Vercel and want to have a custom domain. I see that it's easy to purchase the domain through Vercel and all of that, but I'm wondering if there's any advantage to going through Hostinger, a service widely proclaimed by the web dev you tubers I've seen.

    Is this just stupid? Or is there some advantage to using Hostinger that I just can't see yet?

    Webdev learning project

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 10:24 AM PDT

    I've been working as a developer for about a few years now and have some experience with .Net, C#, C++, Python, React, React Native, Angular and Android development. I've worked on a few projects, but never from the ground up. I came to the realization that I have no idea how to set up the entire infrastructure for a website. So I embarked on a journey to learn about setting up a website.

    I want to learn about the following:

    • Setting up a server
    • Developing the front-end
    • Developing the back-end
    • Setting up the database
    • Hosting the front-end on a server
    • Hosting the back-end on a server
    • Hosting the database on a server
    • Buying a domain name
    • Hosting the domain name
    • Setting up the development environments
    • Setting up the production environments
    • Securing the website
    • Setting up a container
    • Other things I will most likely encounter along the way

    So far, I have a VM set up using Digital Ocean. The front-end is written using React and is runs on the VM. The back-end is written using Django and also runs on the VM. I have a MongoDB set up, also using Digital Ocean (although I intend to create my own database which runs on the VM, for learning purposes). I bought a domain name and use Digital Ocean to connect the IP of the the VM to the domain. I write code on my laptop, push it to GitHub, which I then pull on the VM to update everything. I set up environment variables to differentiate between my development machine and the "production" VM. The domain has an SSL certificate. Soon, I'll set up a Docker container. I've been learning a lot in the process, but there are still a lot of things unclear.

    Is it standard host the front-end, the back-end and the database on the same machine?

    How should I secure my website? Is http fine, or do I need https? What other steps should I take to secure the website?

    And how about back-end and database security?

    How do you set up a proper production environment?

    What are the less obvious differences between a production and a development environment (the obvious ones being connecting to a test database and running front and back-end on localhost)?

    Does anyone have any advice or experiences to share?

    What aspects am I missing in the bullet point list above?

    Are there any courses / blogs / websites that you can recommend to aid my learning process?

    I'm having a blast figuring all this out. I run into a lot of problems and am learning a lot when solving them. I make a lot of decisions along the way, and am often unsure if I'm taking the right one. I'd love to start a discussion on this thread which will hopefully help a lot of web developers out to fill in the blanks of their knowledge. Thanks in advance!
