    Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread

    Posted: 01 Oct 2021 05:00 AM PDT

    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:

    HTML/CSS/JS Bootcamp

    Version control

    Automation

    Front End Frameworks (React/Vue/Etc)

    APIs and CRUD

    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.

    Struggling with CORS - Should I just be proxying?

    Posted: 01 Oct 2021 09:43 AM PDT

    I have an API I am accessing from an SPA. CORS configurations and setting request headers is giving me absolute hell. I have the correct access control headers from the server being set, but now cookies aren't being saved on the browser.

    Should I just be configuring my webserver to use proxying to avoid all this BS? In production, my web server is hosted on a different server completely compared to my API but both hosted from Heroku.

    How do I handle this? Its driving me nuts.

    Thanks

    Serendipity: A new VS Code theme crafted for retina displays.

    Hello everyone! 🖐

    Serendipity for VS Code

    I have recently ( a couple of months ago ) moved from Linux to MacOS and because the colors are completely different.. I had to look for a VS Code theme, and it was a bit difficult because a lot of them are too dimmed or too dark.

    So I decided to create my own theme.

    The background is not too dark, not too dimmed and the syntax is not neon, the idea was to create something that can be used without fro hours, so there went hours of testing before publishing.

    The dark mode is using pastel colors, and then light version is using the same colors, but slightly darker.

    You can get it in the landing page or in Microsoft market place.

    Available options:

    Theme options

    • 🌑 Dark
    • 🌑 Dark italic
    • 🌑 Dark low contrast
    • 🌞 Light
    • 🌞 Light italic
    • 🌞 Light Low contrast

    Terminals

    • 🌑 iTerms2 Dark
    • 🌞 iTerms2 Light
    • 🌑 MacOS terminal Dark

    Miscellaneous

    • 🌑 Slack Dark
    • 🌞 Slack Light
    • 🌑 Firefox Dark
    • 🌞 Firefox Light
    • 🌑 Linear App Dark
    • 🌞 Linear App Light

    I would like to recommend my preferences.

    {
    "editor.fontFamily": "'IBM Plex Mono', monospace",
    "editor.fontSize": 18,
    "editor.lineHeight": 38,
    "editor.letterSpacing": 0.5,
    "files.trimTrailingWhitespace": true,
    "editor.fontWeight": "400",
    "prettier.eslintIntegration": true,
    "editor.cursorStyle": "line",
    "editor.cursorWidth": 5,
    "editor.cursorBlinking": "phase",
    "editor.renderWhitespace": "all",
    }

    Here are some images for you to see it 😁

    Hope you guys enjoy it and feel free to ask me something here or on twitter.

    Most basic question of all time- flex box vs grid box vs div etc.

    Posted: 01 Oct 2021 01:01 PM PDT

    I have finally came up with a design idea on a piece of paper for how I want my personal site to lay out. My previous attempt to figure out my question was the freeCodeCamp course for HTML CSS, and generally Google, but I must say I am confused if I don't say so myself.

    I get conceptually what these are, that's the easy part.

    What I don't get is how to make the website naturally and elegantly have that flow I am looking for, WITHOUT having to individually micromanage each individual element's padding etc.

    Like, don't these things help organize your website naturally? I just don't get it. I know this is a very open ended question but frankly I don't know where to start.

    Any comments, links, etc appreciated! Oh, and just to clown myself here is my website attempt so far that is atrocious in terms of spacing a stuff. Just to show how badly I am lost: https://william-golovlev.github.io/

    Is it a bad idea to purchase my VPS service ahead of time just to develop on it?

    Posted: 01 Oct 2021 06:14 AM PDT

    Hello!

    I'm an amateur trying my hand at developing a personal website. Before anyone tries to talk me out of hosting on a VPS, I'll get out in front and say that the complexity is part of the point for me: I am enthusiastic about learning as much as I can about development, hosting, and administration.

    Anyways, I'm at a point where I seem to be running into limitations in my ability to do backend development on my personal device. For example I am currently focusing on form handling, but when I test it the POST array comes through empty. This seems to be caused my the fact that I'm reading the website as a file while sending the POST request to localhost.

    I'm sure I could get around this (Probably assemble the site in /var/www/ if I had to guess.) but my gut says it may simply be better to lease my VPS now and start developing in the environment the site is meant for. It would only be a week or so ahead of when I imagine making my site live anyhow, and there are a number of environmental differences that I anticipate it might be best to develop around (different distribution, probably using NGINX instead of Apache, etc.).

    Is it a bad idea to lease my VPS now, to play around with? Provided I do the usual things to secure the VPS against intrusion, and don't yet serve the site to outside requests, would I simply be allowing myself the chance to develop things in-situ? Or would this expose me to some sort of danger or liability that I should not assume I can anticipate?

    Thanks!

    Python vs. PHP for FastCGI?

    Posted: 01 Oct 2021 05:21 AM PDT

    Hello!

    I'm designing a simple personal website, and am at the stage where I need to focus on building CGI/FastCGI files for a couple small purposes: form validation/security, human validation, blacklisting IP's, etc. I set out yesterday learning PHP and put together a few basic CGI files that accomplish the form handling. But this morning I'm looking over the FastCGI protocol, and finding that it's not so complicated as I'd taken it to be yesterday, and that maybe I should simply be implementing it and maybe not even in PHP.

    My other language candidate would be Python (I could throw C++ into the ring, but that seems to be an unpopular choice down to security issues). I have considerable experience in it from the perspective of scientific programming, and so would be glad to find out that they may even be preferred from a perspective of security, efficacy, or performance. In particular, I am wondering whether the advantages of PHP in regards to CGI files (Were there ever any? Crawling developers' posts for opinions does something to your brain.) might be challenged on the switch to FastCGI, particularly when taken together with Python's executing as bytecode.

    Can anyone speak to the difference between these two languages for use in FastCGI? Thanks in advance.

    Security service

    Posted: 01 Oct 2021 10:06 AM PDT

    Hello guys! What service would you recommend for storing sensitive financial data in the cloud? For know I know azure confidential Ledge but they don't have pricing right now... Do you know some other services of the likes of amazon, google or whatever that offers a good security service (and not expensive of course) we will be storing very little data.

    ​

    thanks.

    Are there any downsided to using yarn for global packages and npm for local ones?

    Posted: 01 Oct 2021 08:47 AM PDT

    Title.

    I've stared using ionic and it requires that some packages are installed globally. Running npm -g install throws a permissions error. The recommended ways are managing npm and nodejs with nvm, which sounds reasonable but I don't want to mix more package managers than absolutely required, and changing permissions in some directories inside /usr/local, which I don't like at all.

    Yarn, however, lets me install global packages without errors. I've just had to add ~/ yarn/bin to my PATH. So, since ionic uses npm to manage local dependencies and I'm stuck with it, I'd like to know if there can be any significant errors using npm for my local packages and yarn for the global ones down the line.

    How to get clients?

    Posted: 01 Oct 2021 12:24 AM PDT

    Hey guys. New freelancer here. Just finished my first client and everything went great. Finally making some money after years of school and learning feels great but bills don't stop so I need to find some new clients. I made a company website, a Facebook page, and a google company listing. I haven't advertised or anything yet and I've had zero inquiries so far. I'm not really sure what to do now. I've looked at upwork but it seems really difficult to get any work that actually pays anything without lots of experience. I'd really appreciate some advice on how to gain more clients.
