first for golang

Hey anons, serious question. I am 26 soon and would like to change carreer. I have no experience in coding just general computing, maintenance, building shitty basic webpages.

Know the basics of html, css, going for js soon. Then hope to get onto php and friends. Any tips that might help me get into the industry, or which way shall I sway regarding languages?

Thanks in advance.

Also bump.

>>58868805
Learn Lisp.

>>58868805
Look around at job offers around your area.
Then learn that needed language for the job.

>>58868865
Already on that, html,css, js, jquery, bootstrap, php usually.

Thanks btw.

I have an error 500 on my blog hosted on openshift. It just says that the page is not working and the server is unable to handle a request.

Anybody knows how can I fix it?

What's the difference between java and C# when it comes to feutures of the language and what kind of job you get with the language? I think I heard somewhere that C# developers usually develop local systems in an organization, is this true? That type of job sounds less stressful to me desu

>>58870842
>C# usually for local apps
I work with C#, I've never done an intra-business app. Java is older but because it runs through a VM before the processor, it can be run on more types of devices. C# (.NET) is very limited in the devices it can run on, it needs a Windows server. This hasn't stopped its growth though because a Microsoft backing provides sufficient justification to use it.

Features comparison:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_C_Sharp_and_Java

>>58870445
500 means that something's fucked with your configuration on your server and it needs to be fixed. Did you set this blog up on your own? How are you handling traffic with your server? Did you check to see if those config files are correct before uploading it?

That's honestly not a lot of information to go off of and assuming that you're responsible for all the above, you should check your configs and restart related services once your sure that it's correct.

loadCommentsFromServer() {
    /*axios.get(this.props.url)
      .then(res => {
        this.setState({ data: res.data });
      })*/
    fetch(this.props.url, { 
      method: 'GET', 
      headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
      })
    .then(res => {
        this.setState({ data: res.data });
        //console.log(res);
    });
  }

anyone know why fetch isn't working here? the commented out axios get method works, and when I console log res from the fetch method I get the data just fine, so why can't I setState for data?

The actual error I get is "TypeError: this.props.data is undefined" from when another component is trying to access that data, so it seems that the issue is being able to set the state with the response data

>>58871773
try defining your scope just above the fetch

loadCommentsFromServer() {
var self = this;
fetch(self.props.url, { 
      method: 'GET', 
      headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
      })
    .then(res => {
        this.setState({ data: res.data });
        //console.log(res);
    });
}

maybe it's a scope issue. It doesn't look like it, but idk react that well

i'm trying to highlight all posts in a thread that have the US flag on /int/

this is what i have

var all_replies = document.getElementsByClassName('post reply');
var us_replies = document.getElementsByClassName('flag flag-us');
for (i = 0; i < all_replies.length; i++) {
    if all_replies[i]. ????
}

and this

document.getElementsByClassName('post reply').forEach((el) => {
    el.classList.add('flag-us')
})

does anyone know how to do this?

basically i would like to highlight (something like a yellow border box) all the replies that have the US flag.

i think i need to access the css properties of a reply

thanks guys! this is exactly what i wanted

Are there any decent resources for learning about algorithms and data-structures through Javascript, or will I need to pick up a new language in order to find materials on the topic?

Should I even give a shit? I'm interested in moving into more of the backend side of web, do algorithms and data-structures have much relevance there, or are they confined to the land of embedded sys and desktop dev?

What's the back-end language to learn?

PHP is kind of dying off and was always regarded as a dumpster fire by many. Ruby seems to be dropping in popularity too.

C#?

>>58873566
I'd say node or php still, at least from what I'm seeing in job listings in boston. I did node

Close to giving up and last time I posted I was refered to wdg, so here we go. Working on a Discord bot with mongodb. User enters something like "!settle 589ce23e23e1132b7c905e75 win" to update an existing entry. It's supposed to find the entry with the matching id, then update the "status" field from a preset status "pending" to the status "win".

  MongoClient.connect(url, function (err, db) {
    if (err) {
      console.log('Unable to connect to the mongoDB server. Error:', err);
    } else {
      console.log('Connection established to', url);

      var collection = db.collection('users');
      var query = {};
      var status = {};

      var id = "_id";
      var updatestatus  = "status";
      var userid = args[0];
      var userstatus = args[1];
      query[id] = userid;
      status[updatestatus] = userstatus;

collection.findOneAndUpdate(query, status);

A console.log() shows that both objects, query and status contain exactly what they're supposed to, yet the "status" field just does not update. Fiddled around with all other update / modify options, can't get anything to work. Any help / hints appreciated.

I never quite got how mailing works. How do I set up an email server on my machine so that I can send emails from [email protected]? Like in general, obvioulsy I'm not asking for a step-by-step process, just what software I should use and things like that. I only need to send emails, and not receive them, since it's gonna be used for an email verification thingy.

>>58873823
just use sendgrid or another service. The difficulty with setting up your own email server is making it so your sent emails aren't all caught by spam filters.

>>58874081
The problem is that sendgrid has no free option, and I don't have any actual sites running that would actually make me any money right now, only learning projects. I also don't really care about the spam filter as long as the emails are delivered, I often see sites warning users about how the confirmation email may be in the spam filter.

>>58871608
It's a wordpress blog and it's easy as 1, 2, 3 to set up. It worked smoothly and just from nowhere - bam - error 500. That's why I don't know what could have went wrong. The last thing I did was s reupload of functions.php where I made a minor unimportant tweak.

>>58874980
So basically, I want to reupload my functions.php file because it's possible that I made a typo there and everything crashed. But I don't know how to do that with openshift and I can't just go to my admin panel and do it from there.

>>58875115
I changed the file through git and still nothing. Welp, now I know it's not me who fucked up.

Fuck. Dunno what to do now.

>>58874081
This. I have a setup with Dovecot and Postfix and most of the time, my e-mails end up right in the spam box.

But if you feel like pressing on and playing sysadmin, here's a guide that's close to what I used to get things up and running:

Question: Do I really need to learn Erlang before/during my study of Elixir? I know Elixir runs on BEAM, but does that actually mean that I need to have a fair knowledge of Erlang in order to be a good Elixir developer?

File: file.png (108KB, 620x717px) Image search: [Google]

108KB, 620x717px

>>58876345
Apparently you should, but don't worry, Erlang is a really nice language. Sadly I only have personal experience regarding Erlang, and not Elixir, so I can neither confirm nor deny pic related.

Okay I'm lost. I thought I was getting a good grasp on C#, but I guess I'm not.

Could somebody please explain to me what "static" means in a method?

Why does this code throw an error if I don't declare IsNumeric as static? I don't get it.

using System;
                    
public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        bool returnV = IsNumeric("32323");
        if(returnV){
            Console.WriteLine("true");
        }else{
            Console.WriteLine("false");
        }
    }
    
    private bool IsNumeric(string text){
        int myVar; 
        return Int32.TryParse(text, out myVar);
    }
}

What's the coolest site you've ever made?

>>58877204
I'm trying to work on a website that's a mix or leddit and a chan right now. Been working on it for a few weeks not (still in alpha.)

Looks kinda like shit right now but I'm just gonna keep tweaking it until I get it right

>>58877267
What language?

>>58877267
I think I saw you post in one of the earlier wdgs. I can't really imagine how a website could be a mix of leddit and 4chin though.

>>58876680
static indicates the method is a static member of the class rather than a member of an instance of a specific object

IsNumberic is not a member of any object, it is a method that returns a value in your main class

>>58877294
A few of them, image handling is done in python with bash scripts running as crons to create thumbs, update indexes, etc; and finally PHP on the frontend (with JS obviously for the UI.)

>>58877308

Nah wasn't me I haven't posted on here in awhile and I've only posted too one of the webdesign subreddits for feedback (still pretty early, as I said.)

It's basically you can use it anonymously but if you want to register you're able to vote (and one day create boards.) Posts aren't ordered by voting but voting helps bring them to the front page.

I've got some bigger ideas but I'm keeping them close to the chest; I guess it doesn't matter at this point the website is https://discustd.com brutalize me /g/ I need feedback

>don't hax me plz

>>58877397

also I'm using lets encrypt, anyone else have problems with androids native browser with lets encrypt (chrome and firefox work fine, but android browser tells me its not secure.)

>>58877416
What is your back-end written in? I'm asking because I'd like to know if you've set it up manually or used the automatic cofiguration mode of certbot. I used it with a site written in Erlang, and there was no default way to automatically set the certs up for the webserver I'm using (yaws). I had to manually set the key file and the cert, but did not set the cacert (intermediate certificate), because it wasn't really documented, so firefox and chrome on android was giving me errors, while it worked on chrome on linux. I added the cacert to the config and now everything works fine.

>>58877416
>>58877511
Oh, just ignore my previous post. I tested it in my android browser and in firefox, and apparently there is nothing wrong with your certs. Firefox does show a little warning sign though, since you have mixed content on your site, which is not related to your certs. I couldn't find what could be setting off this warning though. Anyway, it seems to me that you also serve the site over http, which you obviously shouldn't, you should 302 redirect people who load your page over http to the https site.

>>58877416
https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscustd.com%2F
You should use this tool to make your html non-shit.

>>58877511

See above it's a mix of PHP and Python. Also I used the script to set up the cert and yeah had to set the key file and shit myself.

>>58877651

The reason I'm still serving HTTP is because when I had my friends alpha testing it they were (claiming) cert errors in androids browsers and I figured most people would see it through that (normies and shit)

I did have it redirecting to https, guess I could set that up again.

Appreciate you testing it for me desu

>>58877718

I will I've got a lot to do still (it's at alpha 0.1)

I also plan on GPL'ing it once I get the code to not so spaghetti-y and a large enough crowd there that some asshole doesn't just steal my work and throw ad money at it.

>>58877746
Yeah it just seems to me that you are using a lot of outdated attributes instead of inline CSS (should be

style="width: 25px; height: 25px;"

instead of

width="25px" height="25px"

. You should care about these things now, since it will be a lot more work to unfuck your whole site once it's complete and you are used to using these techniques.

Sort of unrelated.

I just bought a domain with dreamhost that I wanted to use for my professional email.

But dreamhost doesn't do email without paying like 10 dollars a month.

I wanted to use gmail as the frontend but its not working like I expected.

What can I do?

>>58877823

Agreed, it's on my TODO for this weekend I don't have much time I'm going to school full time and working 2 jobs right now so I only have saturdays and sunday mornings as "spare time" which is dedicated to this.

Will clean it up this weekend as well I plan on starting "invite only" registration for now (since the user system has only just been written it's most likely buggy as hell and I don't want to get pwned (despite having backups on everything I just have so little time it would be shitty and set me back a day.)

Question: I need to store images for a site. I was going to just json encode strings of URLs that point to the images on my server. Is this a bad approach?

I need a way to save anywhere from 1-10 images (or image locations) per record

>>58877878
Just use Zoho mail. Its free.

Point your mx records and spf records towards any email service and you have it working.
dkim and dmarc records are optional

I could make a screenshot of my records.

It's too late. The CS meme is true sometimes if you started coding when you were 8

>>58881550
That's not true. half my coworkers didn't touch a line of code till their 30's

>>58881916
that was obvious bait but new guys needed to know

So basically Agile,DevOps and whatnot are just philosophies to turn workers into robots and drain them of their energy as much as possible so that product can be finished faster for extra shekels?
They show it as some fancy idea that is good but basically its just the enslavement method?

You guys think there's something genetic in programming talent? I've seen anecdotal evidence around the internet and in my own experience, just wondering what you guys' experience has been. Have you seen people who have been working in the industry for 20 years and their code is still an eye sore, they don't grasp concepts in programming as quickly, and they are just behind the curb seemingly no matter what?

>>58883169
He probably uses a script that looks for mongodb's web interface and tries the default user + password or whatever, so if it fails, he won't try to hack it manually. The guy whose mongodb got hacked should check his logs though, the hacker may have been stupid enough to do it over the clearnet in the first place.

Anyone using .NET core? I've never used ms stuff until typescript and vs code recently, and I'm impressed with those. Never though I'd be getting interested in ms tech in 2017.

>>58871773
don't you need to decode the json yourself with fetch? i.e. res.json()

>>58883223
you can reel the skiddie to come to clearnet by making a fake bitcoin acceptance link or whatever "hey man I sent the money here's proof" or "hey man here's the wallet with the user and password blah blah and you can withdraw yourself please dont do anything to my files" and the link showing only "Tor nodes blocked due to spam" but logs the skiddies IP.

Does anyone know how 4chan's thread deletion works? Like threads get bumped to the first spot when someone replies, except when the thread has reached the bump limit, but does 4chan just delete the last thread in the queue when someone makes a new thread, or does it look at other factors like post count and such? I've been thinking about making a 4chan clone for the experience, seems like a reasonably small project for that. Also, what hashing algorithm does it use for the tripcodes?

>>58873514
that kinda stuff is seldom used in js. it's already high-level. learn it with c. It's worth learning even if you don't use it every day, because it gives you good instincts for what is actually happening under the hood in higher level code. and it's just interesting

>>58873566
node and ruby still have lots of jobs. java or c# too. go is really solid, but not as many jobs. if you wanna be really hipster, go with elixir. scala jobs are rare but tend to pay really well.

hmm that's really clever. /g/ should actually social engineer this douche into getting his info and then report him to the police.

>>58873776
i don't use mongo, but what debugging/tests have you done? are you sure you're using it correctly according to the docs?

>>58874654
use mailgun's free option. you really don't want to setup your own mailer.

>>58883337
thank you bby, I would recommend that we make him send the money back to the victims with the note in the bitcoin transaction for each: "[our emails here] made me send your money back by tricking me to reveal my IP"

>>58875793
that's wordpress for you. shit codebase, no help to the developer. do you really need to use it? if you're just running a personal blog, look into static site generators.

But in the end it doesn't really matter, pick a langauge that works for YOU. And if you are a PHP evangelist, so be it.

I think it's a combination of native intelligence (nature) and upbringing/educational opportunities (nurture). If either of those is missing, it ain't gonna work.

>no experience in programming

You need to first do these three courses (free, only take a week to 5 weeks depending on commitment) https://www.edx.org/xseries/how-code-systematic-program-design (this is also known as HtDP 'How to Design Programs book)

You absolutely have to do that first before anything or you'll be confused beyond belief.

Finished those 3? ok now read Eloquent Javascript as an introduction to JS/web dev bullshit: http://eloquentjavascript.net/

The way you read programming books is you manually type out all the code, and do all the exercises in the book.

Finished? Now do the entire "You Don't Know JS" book series (also free):
https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS

Now you are ready to put it all together with a web dev bootcamp, so read the Front End Developer's Handbook https://www.gitbook.com/book/frontendmasters/front-end-handbook-2017/details

Congrats you are done. Now you go and get a job somewhere as customer support at first, debugging forms or asking customers to open up the DOM in their browser and give you information. This is called "Support Engineer" usually and weworkremotely.com has all of these jobs.

While working for this company you slowly move into being a F/T developer by debugging their code, learning everything there is to know about their stack/product/development cycle, then finally becoming a dev yourself.

I can't say I've done any debugging, I'm completely new to mongodb (and even just the bit of js I use), so I wouldn't know how. What I can say is that it doesn't give me any error message when I do it this way and that the documentation is of little help, because it has no examples of using queries with objects that have varibale content. When I do a find() query using the same "query" object it works. I've also tried something along the lines of

 collection.findOneAndUpdate(query, { $set: { "status" : "win" } } ); 

to see if the status object is the issue, but that also doesn't work.

>>58883362
Fuck me, I don't really have to use it, no. And I won't anymore. It still doesn't work. But I think in this case it's not a WP problem, I saw some comments on web that Openshift is fucking up. Hope they will fix it. if not, I have to change my host.

Can anyone provide me with a guide on how to go to stage 0 to deployment of a (business-related) website?

I feel I can grasp the essentials, but a comprehensive step by step would be excellent.

tldr: REQUESTING HOW-TO - STEP 0 to DEPLOYMENT

>invited for informal interview

I had to Google it. I didn't know this was a thing.

I guess I just wear non-sperg clothes and nice shoes?

>>58885257
step 0 - Create idea. Figure out how the idea will work. Figure out if the idea WILL work. What incentive does it offer the user to use the site? Is the idea practical and useful? Does it offer a form of power or entertainment?

step 1 - Run this idea by family and friends. Feedback is very important. Consider it and make changes as necessary.

Step 2 - Let the idea brew in your head for a few weeks. After this step you should not change anything. Small changes can brick your website and stop you from ever deploying. Solidifying your idea is the most important part.

Step 3 - Write out your database and tables on paper with datatypes. It's easier to visualize and make changes this way.

Step 4 - Create your database.

Step 5 - Create the most difficult part of the website. This changes depending on the type of website, but say you were making a dating website. You might want to start by creating user login with profiles then use the maps API to find other cities within specified radius then search the db for users within those cities.

Step 6 - Create all of the finer aspects like profile 'about' section, friends lists, image galleries, etc.

Step 7 - CSS. Up until this point, your page should look like shit. Unstyled text boxes on a white background with shit loading in the corner with AJAX. This unfortunately is my longest step. I burn through the first 0-6 steps in a few weeks and CSS takes me months to nail it down right.

Step 7.5 - Finer details. Copyright, div animations, header, layout tweaks etc. Don't spend more than a week on this. You may never leave this half-step if you don't set a deadline.

Step 8 - Buy a droplet on digital ocean or go scalable on AWS. Install your stack like you hopefully no how to, login with SSH and upload everything. Don't forget to install the db.

Step 9 (next post)

>>58886121
Step 9 - Rig it so that it looks like people already use it. Make fake posts, accounts, profiles, whatever. Put "Join the 1 million users that use my shitty website today!" by the signup box. Make it look active.

Don't go too far now, though. I built my own template with custom functionalities, and I'm just hosting it on Openshift because it is free. And I am sure Openshift is fucking up now.

Can someone help me out with a link that explains modern SEO basics please? I can find info on some of the old stuff but I thought someone on here would have a much better link.

I got an interview coming up and the guy of course wants his site to be number one but fails to realize you can't spoof that shit today.

The number of dependencies required to even start a simple ES6 project is becoming ridiculous
Need a minimum of 11 dependencies just to get Webpack and Babel ready:

babel-core babel-loader babel-polyfill babel-preset-latest css-loader extract-text-webpack-plugin file-loader html-webpack-plugin style-loader url-loader webpack

And that's not accounting additional ones like the SASS loader, the Webpack dev server or anything related to testing
And then you need to declare the actual business dependencies

I thought starter kits or whatever they're called now might resolve this, but as it turns out they're even more cancerous
The React "starter" kit has almost 100 dependencies (28 + 69 dev dependencies), the Angular starter 80 (19 + 61)

>>58889309
it's pretty messy.
We are using ember at work and have a terrible internet connection (1Mbit at most).
npm install takes like 30 minutes.
We had to implement our own caching on our CI server so projects didn't take hours to test.

I guess I'm okay with that as long as it's own the developer tools taking up that much.
Visual Studio takes a few GB as resources/dependencies in comparison but doesn't need to be deployed as well.

Welcome to America, Where everyone tells you what you should be making entry level (50k) and every where you look it's employers trying to fuck you in the ass for minimum wage to $14/hr. The other 70% of entry level job postings are recruiters.

They're probably just trying to see if someone is willing to do it for 30,000. I bet they're an "up and coming" startup.

>>58891875
If they were up and coming then they should give equity if they are offering that salary.

>>58892042
That's a good dream.

function buildPortraitGrid() {
    var parentTable = document.getElementById("portraitGrid");
    var columns = 3;
    for (var i = 0; i < themeList.length; i+=columns) {
        var currentRow = parentTable.insertRow(i/columns);
        for (var j = 0; j < columns; j++) {
            index = i+j;
            var currentCell = currentRow.insertCell(j);
            currentCell.style.backgroundImage = "url(" + themeList[index].portrait + ")";
            // bullshit to have index scoped away from the loop's meddling
            ( function(index) {
                currentCell.onclick = function() {setTheme(index);hide("portraitGridContainer");show("portrait","table-cell");};
            }) (index);
        }
    }
}

Is there a less ugly/better way to do this? I think the code is pretty clear but I can clarify if it doesn't make sense. hide/show functions just set the display value of an element to none and some supplied value, respectively.

Don't.
phpbb is 17 years old, pretty sure there's a lot of old code still being used that should have been done a lot differently by todays standards.

You separate it into multiple files/classes in almost every language because you want to open different parts at the same time and not have to search thousands of lines of code in one file only.

>>58896158
I thank you!

What the best browser for web dev?

>>58898270
chrome.
Firefoxs dev tools are kind of slow, so I switch to chrome all the time for that.

Do you need to have much algorithmic/data structure knowledge within web dev?

I've learned javascript on the front and back end. I expect that algorithmic/data-structure stuff really only comes into use on the back-end.

An unfortunate side-effect of my choice of language is that most resources for learning algo/ds stuff are taught through a different, more traditionally-established language like Java.

tl;dr Is algorithmic/data-structure knowledge necessary to have when pursuing a career in web dev, and if so, are there any decent javascript-based resources for learning it?

>>58898312
Yes, you'll need some algorithm / datastructure knowledge , because you'll need that knowledge the client side eventually (e.g. trees, graphs etc.).
You'll also get better at writing code once you know them, because you'll know some runtime complexities and you'll get some intuition about when to use which data structure.

I don't really know any resources for learning this stuff with JS myself, so I can't recommend anything.

>>58899878
It could be done with Cron, but then you could have up to a minute delay. A job queue would pick it up right away when available.

So they want to interview but all they say was "I can do this and this and this"

Should I tell them I have no degree and no prior professional experience in the field before setting a date for the interview?

I would hate getting there and it ending within 10 minutes once they find that out.

>>58900179
Go to the interview, don't lie but don't tell them straight out either because it'll make you seem insecure.

What do you /g/uys think of Catalyst, the Rails of Perl?

What does /wdg/ recommend framework wise for building a single page web app?

It seems like its possible with just Javascript and Jquery, but I was wondering if it would just be more sensible to learn a framework instead and make it easier and more manageable for myself?

These job requirements are brutal.

My github is bare because I launch everything I make.

I've been trying to work on web dev, specifically back end stuff for a hot minute now.
However, I always run into trouble using Flask-Security. All I want to do is customize the register and login forms a bit but I can never seem to do it correctly.

Here's my register form:

  <!DOCTYPE html>

{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block content %}

    <div id="signup">
        <h1>Create Account.</h1>

        {# not sure what to put as my action. default flask-security uses url_for_security('register') #}
        <form id="logfrm" name='register_user_form' method="POST" action="{{ url_for_security('register') }}">
            {# figure out how to make input required #}
            {{ register_user_form.email(placeholder="email", type="email") }}<br>
            {{ register_user_form.username(placeholder="username") }}<br>
            {{ register_user_form.password(placeholder="password", type="password") }}<br>
            {# register_user_form.confirm(placeholder="confirm password") #}<br>
            {# register_user_form.submit #}
            <input type="submit" value="SIGNUP" >

        </form>
    </div>

{% endblock %}   

My problem here is I don't know what to set the action too. The form is located at http://localhost/signup
But I'm still wanting to use flask-security's default register/login functions.

And here's my routing function:

@app.route('/signup', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def signup():
    print "/SIGNUP REQUESTED"
    form = signupform(csrf_enabled=False)
    return render_template("security/register_user.html", register_user_form=form, security=security)

Not sure why when I submit my form nothing happens.
Been looking at this for way to long.

I have no idea about flask, but

action="{{ url_for_security('register') }}"

what does this transform to?
it says register here, but your route is called signup.

>>58910659
Ah, I'll give it a shot. I changed it to 'signup' and now at least I'm getting a different error:

BuildError: Could not build url for endpoint 'security.signup'. Did you mean 'security.login' instead?

Not certain what it does though.

>>58910698
I changed url_for_security to just url_for so now it loads the pages but my submit/POST request doesn't do much. I keep checking the db to see if it's inserted but it's not.

Simple Question:

What is the standard (the best) way to
have side-space, and center page content like this? What is commonly used and commonly recommended?

>>58911215
position: fixed with javascript onscroll to push everything down.


Or just a div with a width and margin: 0 auto, your call.

>>58911230
>position: fixed with javascript onscroll to push everything down.
Jesus Christ.

>>58911215
The other thing that guy said - all of this is basically inside one container which has some max-width (e.g. 1200px) and margin: 0 auto, which means that you don't have empty space on the top and the bottom, and it centers the container horizontally, so you have whitespace on both sides of a page.

>>58911215
>divitis
>too many modifier classes inside markup

>>58911215
also,
>inline style
>using <br> tag before a block element
cool wordpress, pajeet

>>58911215
If you don't need anything on those side spaces, have a container with a

max-width

and center it by setting [code[margin: 0 auto;

>>58901182
If you're struggling with design just copy from websites that do it well. If you're struggling with development, grow a brain and use it.

>>58901069
React.js or Angular 2. If you like having options, go with React. I don't have much to say for Angular 2 because I don't trust a framework that the company that builds it doesn't even use in there own applications.

Most of those types of people have horrible memory. I know a lot of programmers dumb as bricks, but they remember 90% of what's taught or shown to them. On average they write quality code, but when a task gets complex or a tad unique, they write something unintelligible. Another problem is the inability to think abstractly.

best way to test php code locally? OSX preffered.

Currently running a local plex and web server but it's gunna be down for a few days and don't want to push to live constantly.

>>58912171

and then go to localhost:8000 using your browser.

I've used xdebug with visual studio code to debug, but php generally seems to be fucking shit to debug compared to other languages.

I've built up a web application which works more or less if the user interacts with it the way I intended. E.g. click button -> opens a modal -> user selects from 2 choices -> click button submits to server and closes the modal
On a successful submit I can remove the button and refresh the page with via ajax, however I have no idea what to do if someone disables javascript, issue a request via curl with different parametres etc.

Any ideas how to keep the app state consistent?

>>58912255
>however I have no idea what to do if someone disables javascript
the average joe does not disable javascript, if they do, they know that sites break and how to fix it themselves.
add a noscript tag if you want, otherwise I'd just ignore that case, we aren't in the early 2000s anymore.

>issue a request via curl with different parametres etc
your backend should validate all requests anyway, so return 400 or something.

>>58912255
>if someone disables javascript
please stop polluting the internet with shitty js-only websites
>issue a request via curl

>>58912271

any particular pointers? The main problem is when the user is logged into the site and issues a request to update a row in the DB I can verify he has relation to the data to be updated but how can I do it without multiple trips to the DB? Should I join all queries to contain the user_id?

>>58912366

How do I prevent other components from calling getGym() until the array is loaded?

Right now the website crashes when it's refreshed at a URL like ".../gyms/1" because the component doesn't get anything from the array.

Interview tomorrow!

My third interview now.

I'm reading here, on Reddit and everywhere else that people are getting web dev jobs with portfolios consisting of things like todo, blog, simple app that uses some API (e.g. Imgur viewer), games like Pong etc.

I find this incredibly pathetic when I compare it to other jobs. It seems like everyone can do this job. Who can love this?

>>58916383

If you can't land a proper programming job, you go into webdev.

>>58916383
We wrote out a web developer job once and I had to do the interviews. You'd be surprised how many of them can't even do a simple if/else.
And these people come fresh from university doing CS.
So anything that looks like code was a plus.

>>58916383
Many jobs usually want to see something of depth. Like a social media website or twitter clone.

I showed one guy how much traffic I get on a simplish site. He said the traffic was impressive, but asked if I had something more complex. This was a regular occurence.

Anyways, it just gets you through the door. You won't get the job if you can't whiteboard or handle technical questions.

>>58916184

From what I've read, promises are used for HTTP requests. getGyms and getGym just use the local array that's populated during the initial GET request.

This is the code of the component that calls the getGym function when it loads.

export class GymComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy, AfterViewInit {

    private subscription: Subscription;
    private gym: Gym;

    constructor(private activatedRoute: ActivatedRoute,
                private gymService: GymService
    ) {}

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.subscription = this.activatedRoute.params.subscribe(
            (param: any) => {
                this.gym = this.gymService.getGym(parseInt(param['id']));
            }
        );
    }

    ngAfterViewInit(): void {
        $( document ).ready(function() {
            $('.carousel').carousel();
        });
    }

    ngOnDestroy(): void {
        this.subscription.unsubscribe();
    }
}

>>58916525
>You'd be surprised how many of them can't even do a simple if/else.
I had this problem with while loops.
I straight up told the guy "I am drawing a blank because I have never had anyone stand over me and watch me code. Give me a second because I know I know this."

He was cool with it.

I demolished that test once I cooled down.

I'm trying to decide between vue and react. I'm leaning towards react because of react native, but so many people are jumping on the vue bandwagon that it makes me wonder if there's an advantage to it bigger than react native

>>58916566
>promises are used for HTTP requests
you do load your data from the backend using getAllGymsFromBackEnd

I'd do it like this.
return a promise instead of the gym/gyms directly.
if you already have them, you can resolve it instantly.
if it's still loading then put the resolve method into an array to call later once data has been loaded.
once your getAllGymsFromBackEnd finishes loop through the queued resolve methods and run them.

I'm reading up on ES6 and the part about destructuring isn't making much sense to me. They mention pattern matching but I'm seeing nothing of the sort in the provided examples

https://babeljs.io/learn-es2015/#ecmascript-2015-features-destructuring

For very low paying webdev maybe, if you want to make silicon valley starting wages then you'll do multiple white board tests, need a work sample involving complicated app building or building an API and explaining exactly why your API is the best written over others, ect.

For people without all this experience just go apply to TopTal or other type of contractor farm where you can build exp

Thanks, I'll take a look. Javascript is pretty simple when you write it like you're stuck in 2006, but at the same time its tedious and messy. Learning all of its new features seems pretty daunting to do purely through experimentation and reading other people's code so learning resources are a must. Honestly Perl has the same problem so its a mystery to me how I learned my way through all of its strangeness

>>58898312
CLRS is written in pseudocode, so you can translate those algorithms in javascript if you wanted though they all exist as libraries. What you want is analysis ability so you can judge for yourself what is the best library/algo to use for a specific problem you're trying to solve, like should I use mergesort? quicksort? They all have different upper and lower bounds advantages (all of which is explained in any algorithm intro book).

Anybody interested here's the 2017 Front End Dev handbook https://www.gitbook.com/book/frontendmasters/front-end-handbook-2017/details

How do I hack my brain to like this field? I might have come to a dead end because of my degree and will have to go into some part of webdev if I don't do another degree.

Over a few years I grew to hate anything related to programming/coding. It's just incredibly boring for me. Fuck.

What should I ask for as a salary?

The job is for a straight up web dev. Not junior-level.

Previous jr roles I asked for 50k and that seemed fine, but don't want to undervalue myself. This is a small company with 10 developers in a rent-an-office.

Even at 50k it would be twice what I get at my current job.

>>58917366
You don't.

It's like anything else, either you like to do it or you don't.

People who join this chasing money or gender/racial equality are ruining this industry and many others.

If you don't want to do it naturally, then why would you pursue it?

What does /g/ think of WordPress? I want to build an easy to update site with a blog. Seems very easy with WordPress, but I'm having trouble editing the particular theme I'm using.

I have also built a basic HTML/CSS website, but it doesn't look as good as the WordPress site.

Are you on a mobile device, or are you incapable of writing in coherent sentence structure, or both?

Are you saying that WordPress does not allow easy updates to a blog (i.e., hyperlinks, etc.)?

>I literally built my own CMS in less time than it took to configure/customize my friend's wordpress blog, and it still ran like bloated shit.

So anything with a CMS is bloated and doesn't run well? Please explain.

name one grammatical error I made in my post.

I'll wait.

Learning basic HTML/CSS.
What's a good way of making a footer that sits at the bottom of the page independent of the height of the page? I.E. it's there when you scroll to the bottom of the page.

Ideally without HTML5. Assignment asks for XHTML.

>>58917843
I don't understand. I have a portal built on wordpress (completely custom theme) and it is not that bloated at all. I kept technology behind it on a minimum and it is ranking pretty well on all those speedtest websites.

I don't find building a wp template from scratch that hard at all, but I would like to know some good source where I can learn how to build the backend all by myself too.

Ofc, I'm talking about something that has a whole admin page, full-blown editor and is safe from injections and all the other shit. If that is faster to implement than a wordpress theme, I need to know how to do it.

>>58917843
>>58917929

>no. just, no.

You lack capitalization, and the second sentence has no pronoun.

You can use the "/", but it's more of legal use.

Same. I couldnt figure out how to deal with other peoples themes so I just made my own for my website. It works fast and easy.

Namecheap. dickheads went from $12 for a year to $48 for a .design domain

Oh I see. The way I first understood it was that they raised the price of your domain specifically, and not the price of all .design domains, which would be even more of a dick move.

Make a few websites for a portfolio. Impressive sites. Ones with user logins, posting, upvotes, galleries etc.

Apply to placement programs like LaunchCode as a fallback. If you can't pass the launchcode live interview then you probably won't do well at a real interview.

Begin applying everywhere. It took me just under a year of searching. People still search Craigslist so don't forget to apply there. I used ziprecruiter, glassdoor, angel.co, dice, indeed, stackoverflow, and nameless more. Craigslist was the winner somehow.

split into multiple files
requirejs
webpack

When I console log this I get [p#tableNumber], when I am expecting to get "2" which is what is contained within the <p> tags with the id tableNumber. I can get it by using an index on the console log [0] but I didn't think I should need to do that?

Have I got it wrong?

var userTableNumber = $("#tableNumber").html();

Try to add [0] like this:

$("#tableNumber")[0].html()

It's like it is returning an array because of some reason, not sure if I'm correct. That stuff happened to me multiple times too.

Btw, why does Chrome render my Merriweather font completely differently than Firefox? Firefox is showing it bold as fuck as it should be (font-weight: 900), but on Chrome it is thinner. And it happened from nowhere, months ago, but I remember it working properly before.

Margin auto auto or text-align center.

Depends if absolute or relative positioning.

You can also use a grid system to align elements.

Hello, code newb here. I have just applied for a coding internship (my first tech application ever) without having any technical/collage background.

I applied for a front-end/php internship and they sent me an email requesting before they set up the interview to code them a "little" task.

A three pages website that lists and you can order their product (first page).

Perform the payment for their product with get/post requests from their server (second page).

And a thank you/payment recieved page (third page).

I think I could probably do all this without much trouble, I have studied php and web desing pretty hard this last year.
But, would you be okay with performing this? Is this standard procedure for tech jobs? Isn't this basically pro bono free work?

hey im just a babby and making my first website (to get started) but I am trying to link my css and jQuery into my html file. what is wrong here? my files are: jquery-3.1.1.slim.js , jquery.js , stylesheet.css - and are located in the same directory.

<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='stylesheet.css'/>
<script type='text/javascript' src='jquery-3.1.1.slim.js'></script>

>>58933303
If you have

src="script.js"

(relative path) instead of

src="/script.js"

(absolute path), and you are on the page mysite.com/somepage/something, it will look for the script mysite.com/somepage/script.js instead of mysite.com/script.js.
