    Would google's UX certificate be a good path for a junior front end developer learn some design skills?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 07:47 AM PDT

    I'm mainly a frontend dev (react, angular, svelte) that recently transitioned to web development after covid pretty much destroyed the business I created.

    I got a sweet job on an awesome company with amazing clients (A list clients from my country and around the world). They dedicate a lot of resources to teach me and help me grow and it really is paying off. I'm learning a bunch and I'm basically the main frontend dev for one of their biggest projects. I'm really happy and I think they're also satisfied with my performance.

    The thing is that I want to grow and branch out a bit into other areas just to have a bit of a more holistic knowledge regarding frontend development. One of the areas where I know the least is definitely web design (UI and UX). I'd really love to grab some side projects (paid or personal projects just for fun) as a way to gain more exposure to different domains and tech stacks but to do that I feel like I should really improve my design skills. I don't mean to be a web designer and if someone wants a perfect looking design they should really hire someone who specializes in that but I want to have enough knowledge to (a) pull my own weight on side projects and (b) be a bit more knowledgeable to be able to have a more active and critical role on the projects within my organization.

    As such after a bit of googling around I stumbled upon Google's UX certificate. Do you guys think this would be a good route for me to consider?

    What I'm mostly interested in is to be able to sketch up a design on a tool like figma or XD that I could then use to build the website in whichever stack I consider the most adequate to the project. So it'd be cool to know a bit about design principles and best practices, color theory, typography, tools, etc. at least from a basic/intermediate level.

    If this doesn't seem like a good fit, what would you recommend as a good course to learn this stuff?

    TL;DR: Junior frontend dev want to learn a bit about UI/UX design so I can be able to sketch out basic designs for side projects and take a more active role on my current job. Would like to learn design principles, colro theory, typography and how to use some design tools. Google has a cool looking UX course, would you recommend it or would there be a better approach?

    What do people like about web development as a career?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 04:31 AM PDT

    What do most people enjoy about this as a career? I'm just legitimately curious, because I'm having trouble figuring out what I want to do (or continue doing). I am sort of enjoying it so far, but again I am very early on in my HTML studying in Colt Steele's boot camp off of Udemy.

    I recognized that there is something appealing about this line of work when I went to post an image on a forum, and the code came up instead of the image. I recognized the code from my HTML practice prior to this happening however, I didn't know how to fix it up. I think recognizing the code for something and being even vaguely familiar with the work involved is something cool/special. Has anyone here ever have had an instance like this?

    As I continue this field of study, I expect to hit 'walls'. I'm just hoping that I have the resilience to bounce back.

    Have any of you started an agency?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 04:48 PM PDT

    I am a freelance web dev/designer who builds custom websites (truly custom, with HTML, CSS and JS) using Wordpress as a CMS for clients. I'm not a real dev like many of you (I don't use webpack, react or work with a team using git), but I build very lean and well-designed websites. They work well for my clients, and I offer a higher quality product than most Wordpress "developers."

    I am really really bad at charging money and dealing with the billing/hours part of my job. If I had someone else dealing with that stuff I could spend more time building websites and could crank through clients at a way faster rate. Most of my time is honestly spent worrying about how much to charge for stuff.

    Curious if anyone has thoughts on this? How do you deal with billing and speaking with clients? Has anyone started an agency and hired secretaries or something like that in order to focus solely on development/design? Let's hear your story!

    Is my school teaching me wrong habits (no/ limited use of class and divs and teaching var over let and const)?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2021 10:42 PM PDT

    I'm a 2nd year uni student and before this I had 0 experience with html, css and js. Whenever we have coding projects the school tells us we're not allowed (unless there's no other option) to use divs and classes, but none would be even better. Also we got teached var in js, instead of let and const.

    So this year I had to make a larger website and it's hell. I actually know I can use a div as flexbox parent and it would solve all of my problems if it didn't matter how many times I coule use it. Not to mention that I've to name my css selectors with "nth-of-type(7)" which can break my code everytime I try to add the same element, plus I've to count manually (sometimes I literally don't know why my selector doesn't work and I've to go in the browser, click on inspect and then click on "copy selector"). I now just have a section inside a section. While the first section makes sense, the second section is purely so I can style my stuff good, because otherwise I've to use 4 divs and I'd FAIL my class. I also asked someone in my study how to fix my problem with my section and she said to take my header out of my section (so that I dont have an header anymore?) But I thought sections need headings so I put it back in...

    We also got teached var instead of const and let. When my bf was trying to explain me how const and let work, I had a hard time just grasping on the idea of how it works because imo it just seems like two entire different way of thinking (block scope vs function scope) and var seems more unpredictable.

    I don't know why my school has this class/div rule at and I want to know someone else's opinion on this. My bf who has experience and working in the field says it's just stupid and it makes no sense and that's how I feel rn too, so I want to know if there's a different way to look at? I also wonder if anyone could think of why my school would teach me var instead of let and const in my first year? I feel in the middle because I finally found a study I like, but I want to do things right for in the future too and learn how to be a professional, but if my school is actually doing shit, how the hell do I become a good professional?

    Cookies with GCP PHP instance

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 01:37 PM PDT

    I am using a PHP 7.4 instance in GCP to host a PHP web application. It looks like I can't create any cookies and only sessions are working. Is there a some kind of work around to create cookies?
    The code I used was this:

    setcookie("testCookie",$val, time() + 86400 * 2);
    It works fine in locally.

    I'm a beginner to cloud computing field. So, go easy on me.
    Thanks in advance.

    I want to do front-end freelance. Will getting side jobs be easier if I create website that looks like front-end services company or should I stay with personal portfolio?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 01:31 PM PDT

    I wonder if it will look a bit more professional if I'll invite a friend and create something more looking like company website with custom logo and name. The idea is that if I will find restaurant owner with bad website it could be more effective if I would send him link to website that will be intuitive and designed as "front-end services company" instead of standard front end portfolio

    What would you use to host clients' websites as a freelancer?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 07:25 AM PDT

    I'm thinking about getting into freelance web development but I don't really know how to start. More specifically, how to go about hosting a client's website. I thought about using something like Firebase to host the site and then just connect a custom domain. Is that viable? Should I use something else? If I wanted to host a site that had its own back-end code and/or database, what should I use?

    Thank in advance to anyone who answers.

    Which stack is the best for my education related project?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 12:34 PM PDT

    Hello.

    As the title said, I have a friend who is planning to build an education related website where paid subscribers can access to video courses content for high school students. He has already setup a shooting place for the teachers and all, and he reached out to me for the website and I am concerned about the stack I should go with knowing that the budget is low and it would be cool if I can build him a mobile app too.

    The website will have free and paid courses, each course or even for each lesson a comment section, written lessons, chatting rooms, rating system, quizzes maybe and a dashboard.

    What I thought would be good is Quasar framework and firebase, what do you guys think? And How about AWS Amplify as a firebase alternative?

    Thanks.

    what’s the best way to stop attackers from abusing/spaming my free storage?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 03:49 PM PDT

    Hi! E.g I make a to-do app, which is synced with my database, for free. Each To-Do has a description. With my full-text search you can search for to-dos and through descriptions. It's basically a free key value store with free fulltext search.

    So, there are 2 cases: - someone uses my todo app as a free redis database (since i will basically use redis under the hood maybe too) - someone who wants to harm me abuses it and spams per second 999999 new to-do's to generate high costs (cloud functions and redis and storage cost money of course), or if the is sophisticated to dribble anti-ddos he makes every 30 second a new to-do

    both cases are bad.

    How to stop people from doing that?

    My approach would be that I store in an additional database, how much data and how frequently someone uses my todo app. If someone makes a http request to my cloud function, my cloud function checks up if he is a spamer/abuser, before continueing his request. Or maybe a scheduled function will do that every 5 minutes for every user.

    Is that the way to go? How can optimize that to save function calls and so on? Doing that for every single user will be kind of an additional cost.

    Updating the cache (redis)

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 11:48 AM PDT

    Currently, whenever someone makes a search, if the hash of the query url exists in redis as a key, the cached data is returned. If not, then the data is fetched from the db & then a hash key is set in redis.

    Right now, every time a person does a crud function, the cache is cleared, so as not to display the old information. Is there a better way of doing this without clearing the cache?

    I was thinking, storing the most common search terms like 'web dev' and then on each crud, clearing the cache & running the most common search terms to repopulate the cache with the updated information.

    Surely there is a better way?

    How do you visualize complex logic?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 07:40 AM PDT

    Sorry if this is a dumb question or if I'm not asking the question right. I am a self taught developer and I've missed some things that are probably taught in uni.

    I'm working on a big Angular application that has a lot of front end logic and I usually try to "visualize" the logic by writing bullet lists, but sometimes that logic is too complex and the code doesn't always flow linearly so I figured bullet lists are not the best way to do it. What tool could I use to visualize that logic?

    EDIT: I've sometimes seen some images with squares and arrows and triangles and stuff with if conditions, booleans etc. What are they called?

    Does anyone else's website not work on Safari 15?

    I was hoping this issue would resolve itself but it has not. I am unable to access my website when using safari 15, it works on chrome & other browsers, as well as older versions of safari. The below image is what I see when trying to access the site https://custom.sockclub.com/portal/sign_up

    Any ideas on where to begin to debug this? I saw on a from that this was an issue with other sites like ebay but no answers other than disabling Javascript (which does allow the site to load but isn't an option).
