The more I work on complex SPAs at work, the more I want to just make and use simple sites. Anyone feel this way? I've been challenging myself to keep bundle size as small as possible and speed as fast (while trying to keep experience similar).

How do you pick good highlight and default underline colors? Any tips?

>>56037334
1. Pick a color
2. Make the thing that color
3. If you don't like the color, see step 1.

So yesterday I learned how to use "class" keyword with the help of /wdg/

BUT

When I tried to use it in a node module, I had no end of trouble.

Turns out node already does a bunch of scope protection as part of their module concept.

https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_modules

So I ditched the class sugar and it just works.

Are classes and node modules not meant to be together ?

If you inspect post divs on 4chan, you can see that the margin-top of of the bottom post overlaps the margin-bottom of the top post. How can one achieve this effect with CSS?

What ever the company is paying you to make

hey guys i have 2 pages made with flask, one that acts as the frontpage and the other one that works as some kind of admin or extranet for the first one.

the pages use their own views and models but they share the same database and this is starting to mess things up when i try to do changes to the schema.

so how could i merge these 2 pages into 1 database, 1 sqlalchemy model and 1 or 2 views files?

>>56036784

>>56037680
>Are classes and node modules not meant to be together ?

Works for me. Are you sure you're following this pattern?

// foo.js

class Foo {
  constructor (name) {
    this.name = name;
  }

  sayName () {
    console.log(this.name);
  }
}

module.exports = Foo;

// bar.js

let Foo = require('./foo');

let jimmy = new Foo('Jimmy');

jimmy.sayName(); // prints 'Jimmy'

You could also instantiate the class as a singleton and then export that I guess, but there's really no reason to do that over just exporting a function or object literal, etc unless OOP gives you a hard-on or something.

>>56041006
Most browsers will render *something* even if you manage to fuck up the html pretty bad. That *something* will probably be something other than you intended though, and different browsers will try to fix your mistakes differently.

For a browser game with multiplayer should I just use codeigniter or a different language/framework? I'm pretty bad at javascript.

>>56042130
ECMAscript is literally just the official name for JavaScript. Typescript is a strongly typed superset that transpiles to JS. So no.

picrelated

I meant ES7 or even ES6

>>56042261
>being this dense
Again, the entire point of of TS is that it's strongly typed and transpiles to JS. It is also a superset of ECMAscript, meaning all valid ES is valid TS. Neither ES6 nor ES7 support strong typing out of the box. So...still no.

>>56042171

>should I just use codeigniter or a different language/framework?

depends on the game, but if it's real-time multiplayer, you'll probably want to use websockets, which I don't think codeigniter supports. Node would be good, or maybe Go.

>I'm pretty bad at javascript.

If you're making a browser game you pretty much don't have a choice but to use JS for the frontend.

>>56042420
It's turn based, not multiplayer. I've heard really good things about websockets but it seems like a huge jump, I've really only used rails and bare php for web devving before (I'm a student).

>>56037680
You are not limited to one class per module.

>>56042429
If you expect to refresh the page after each turn and not even use AJAX/Websockets, find a different idea.

>>56042025
Fucking with webpack took way too long.

// foo.js

class Foo {
  name: string;
  constructor (name: string) {
    this.name = name;
  }

  sayName () {
    console.log(this.name);
  }
}

// bar.js

import {Foo} from "./foo";

let jimmy = new Foo('Jimmy');

jimmy.sayName(); // prints 'Jimmy'

/dpt/ here

Your threads are a joke and you will never get high paid jobs

Lmfao

>>56042866
you think refreshing the page after each turn is bad?

>>56043223
Jokes on you, I browse both /wdg/ and /dpt/.

>>56043226
Yes. Not only will it introduce additional latency on each move, but also FoIC and persisting any UI state will become much more problematic.

>>56043369
hmm I guess I should use ajax, unless you have any beginner-style websockets resources you could give me. I've never used ajax though, that might be more useful to learn.

>>56043223
Like Haskell will get you anything other than a grad student stipend if you're lucky.

>>56043417
Use AJAX as a start, but reading up on Websockets will come handy in the future. Note PHP is the shitiest choice for a Websocket backend, because it pretty much requires a stateful server, not a oneshot script.

>>56043451
what's the best choice for one then?

>>56043461
node

>>56043461
Go or Node are good picks. Each has its plusses and minuses.

>>56043480
I think I might use go because a friend of mine won't shut up about it and I've heard .js are memes.

>>56043485
Node is good for JSON APIs, which is a substantial part of all web backends. Not much else though.

If you're not using LAMP, you're a hipster.

>>56043505
>Not much else though.

Ehh, it's pretty good generally at I/O-heavy/CPU-light operations.

It's also pretty fantastic as a glue language since there's a library to support pretty much any weird database or peripheral out there.

>>56043600
What the fuck is a Webpack? Is that like a GRUNT?

>>56043614
There is hardly a need for a glue language these days with good statically-typed multithreaded alternatives like Go. Node's main advantage is JSON being native.

>>56043598
If anything makes you a hipster, it's using dusty old bullshit and parading it around like that somehow makes you better than everyone else.

I'm working on a shitty game simulator and I don't really know much about efficiency with JS prototypes, should I be concerned with nesting over and over?

e.g., in Typescript:

class GameManager {
    Ally: GameTeam;
    Enemy: GameTeam;
    // constructor creates both the above
}

class GameTeam {
    units: GameUnit[];
    // constructor fills units[] with placeholder units
}

class GameUnit {
    // blah blah, unit-specific stuff
}

What's the best php ide? No memes please.

Is it bad that my code is making me hungry? It looks like spaghetti

>>56044137
Vim

>>56044057
It should be fine unless you're making a huge number of units. And if you're making a huge number of units, you're using the wrong language.

Do you want to LIVEstream it or just stream it? If you just want to stream an mp3 or something, that's easy. Doing it live is a bit more complicated.

>>56045370
I'd start with node.js streams. But that's because I know and like node.js best.

I suggest you start with Google, since I'm not sure what you want to accomplish

>>56047728

I dunno. Google it? Look on youtube. There's probably something.

>Do I need to include the "keyword" -webkit

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/transition#Browser_compatibility

That is MDN, its basically documentation for CSS and Javascript.

Under the browser compatibility you'll see if you need to include a flag or not. You usually do if its an "experimental" feature.

http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-transitions

This is another useful site, which will tell you which versions of which browsers support which features, and whether or not they need you to include the browser prefix. So for example Andorid Browser 4.3 requires the -webkit prefix.

Generally you might as well just include it for max compatibility.
Or you could use a CSS precompiler like SASS to make that process easier.

Okay well is there anything other than the code? Shitty non-technical managers? A shitty culture that expects you to stay late to make up for unrealistic arbitrary deadlines promised by those retarded non-technical managers? The expectation to answer emails out of hours and effectively be on-call all the time? Stupid office politics etc?

If its just a shitty codebase then it might be good old Dunning Kruger effect, and that'll wear off in time.

How long have you been there?

>>56047938
People are nice, really nice, but there are no working hours so to say. On paper that sounds great. In practice I see people working more than 8 hours, so I've been having to work much more just to keep up. This can also mean that once I git gud I could work just as much as I need I suppose, but I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel yet. I know some of the other programmers have stayed at stupid late hours at times.

So far there have been no real deadlines, I was told to get something for this past Monday and I sort of did, but didn't get time to write up the test suite.

>If its just a shitty codebase then it might be good old Dunning Kruger effect, and that'll wear off in time.
I fucking hope so, anon. This is as good as it will get as far as pay goes for me. My previous job was 1/3 the pay, but the codebase was a joy to work with 80% of the time.

I've only been her for about a month and a half so I'm trying to go for at least 4-6 months before I consider killing myself or bailing.

But going home on time and enforcing your boundaries is your responsibility. Don't just stay late so you can look like you're busy when you're really just trying to impress people who probably won't appreciate it or reward you in any way.

So you just don't want to touch JS? Then yeah, that's ok. But server side templates take you like 60 minutes to learn, it's not really something to "study".

If I use thumbnails then the page is less laggy, but when an image is selected and displayed fully, it takes time to load. I don't like seeing the image loading. I can't preload the image because I don't know what image a user will click.

Pay ain't everything my man. I learned this the tough way.

I feel you, you are in the same financial situation I was. In this current job I started earning double what I earned before.

I am working from home but it's full of pressure, a clusterfuck codebase, and having your boss up your ass most of the time since he has to make sure you are doing something.
True nazis to give you vacations too. And being isolated has made me socially inept and retarded. More than I was already.
There are zero chances of growth and we are critically understaffed. The pay is good relatively speaking, it's good because it's tax free but you get zero benefits and have to almost beg for a bonus.

I am going to drop it and go back to a regular office job, I will earn less money but will have medical insurance, retirement fund, much more vacations and a more relaxed atmosphere.
Sure I'll have to drive again for an hour and won't be able to shitpost in work (gon miss u bois ;_;) but it's gonna be a step up in quality of life.

Since your pay ceiling has raised, you can use that as leverage in your next interviews. Hopefully you'll land some nice job thanks to your current one.

>>56048666
JS is fine. Ajax for loading specific content is fine. An entire web application in JS doing what HTML and CSS can do is not fine.

You should always write your pages to function without Javascript enabled at all, not for the autists who use Noscript, but because everyone has JS disabled while the page is still loading. Time to first render is going to be significantly faster with the HTML being sent down by the server, rather than client-side JS trying to construct it after receiving JSON data.

If you're making something special like Google Maps then fine, have a fully-rendered Javascript application. But for 99% of what you're ever going to do, server-side templating and HTML is fine. Plus it means you don't have to design and build 2 separate independent web applications, doubling your work for no real reason just because you fell for the REST meme and you think that one day you'll need it for a mobile app, which you fucking won't.

Is voip with discord more stable than skype? What about quality?

I recently got job offers from several local businesses to design/develop their websites, but I have no idea how to suggest an appropriate price. If anybody could answer so I can get a feel how it should be:

1) What kind of websites have you designed?
2) How much money did you get paid (apiece?) for them?
3) How many years of experience / what kind of degree do you have?
4) How long did it take you to make them?
5) How is your price justified?
6) (If relevant to answer) Where do you live?

>>56049392
> I have no idea how to suggest an appropriate price

1. Come up with an hourly rate you're comfortable with.

2. Approximate how many hours the project will take you, 1.5x-2x that number as padding for any complications (and you will have complications), and then multiply by your rate.

3. Add any extra costs you'll need to pay, like hosting, licenses, etc.

>1) What kind of websites have you designed?
Business listing website (yellow pages, basically). Did both back-end (PHP+SQL) and fron-end.

$600

>3) How many years of experience / what kind of degree do you have?
Started freelancing in January this year. Just got a CS degree this month.

>4) How long did it take you to make them?
8 weeks on and off. Had classes at the time so I was only able to do this part-time.

>5) How is your price justified?
Might turn out to be a relatively small website overall. It's not very unique so I don't expect it to get too much traffic, if it ends up being popular in a few years they'll probably redesign it anyway. Price was justified since I had nothing but personal projects in my portfolio.

Help me understand JWTs correctly /wdg/: users can't actually see what's inside of a JWT right? The copy they authenticate with is encrypted if I understand correctly

I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out a criteria to reject JWTs by, and by IP isn't an option. I was thinking user agent or something like a phone's IMEI, but even if an attacker can't just pull that info out of the encrypted JWT, if they had access to said encrypted JWT, shouldn't I assume they have access to the user's UA or IMEI in one way or another?

Alternative question: should I not bother and just pass the JWT itself back and forth and blame the user for getting their cookies stolen in the event a hacker gets their hands on it?

Starting @ Intuit on the 22nd. $120k.

>>56043223
enjoy your foobar trash

>>56051441
Pretty much this, but you can take measures to protect the JWT token by storing it in a cookie with HttpOnly and Secure flags set. That will mitigate plain text transmission and XSS vulnerabilities. Also use an expiry time in the JWT token so even if it does get hijacked the damage is mitigated. Basically you can treat a JWT token the same as you would treat any other session token, with the same session hijacking mitigation techniques. Auth0 has a pretty good JWT+Angular tutorial btw, it assumes you use their SDK but you don't have to.

>>56051418

>users can't actually see what's inside of a JWT right?
That's correct

>>56051441
>should I not bother and just pass the JWT itself back and forth and blame the user for getting their cookies stolen in the event a hacker gets their hands on it?

Yes. And you can POST it instead of setting a cookie if you're worried about that. It should be fine though. It's encrypted and signed, so it should be safe unless your server is compromised, and if that's the case you have bigger problems.

How do I make ajax requests with it then? Is throwing it in localstorage or sessionstorage opening me up to any more damage?
>expiry time
Definitely an option, but I'd like a way to "refresh" said token without the user needing to re-authenticate. How do mobile apps do this safely?

>>56051632
Well the JWT needs storing somewhere, whether that be a cookie, local/session storage, some secure data store provided by a mobile OS, etc.

>>56051814
>Well the JWT needs storing somewhere
Right, I mean store it in a place that isn't a cookie.

The internet told me that I should test each method in a Django class based view in isolation. I've been trying to do this for an embarrassing amount of time for a form_invalid() method for a while now, and it just doesn't seem to be working.

Who is payed more on average, and by how much - web developers or programmers?

I also wonder in what position are people who are technically "software devs" but work on backend of web apps, doing REST and what not.

Hello web professionals, for a college course related project we are makig a web application using jsps and servlets.
We are doing the usual MVC thing, jsps are our view, servlets do control, model is basically beans/database stuff, and we have a filter intercepting requests to check if the user is logged in.
As of now we have about 20 different servlets, every servlet has its own url to be contacted from and checks if the parameters are present or correct (i.e. exepecting it to be a number but its just text).
I was wondering if having all these raw servlets was ok or was considered bad practise and if so if there is some kind of pattern to simply translate our architecture into something nicer that might give us a better result.
I've read about the front controller but it doesn't seem to maky any sense to me, perhaps because i haven't understood it well enough.

That's oversimplifying things quite a bit. Web development is a subset of programming, and is a wide-ranging field itself. Salary varies widely based on location, experience, and skillset.

>I also wonder in what position are people who are technically "software devs" but work on backend of web apps, doing REST and what not.

Those are backend web developers. They are also programmers. This is exactly why it's pedantic and meaningless to compare such things.

XHR requests can send cookies but frameworks like jquery, angular, won't by default. In angular for example you can enable cookie sending with $httpProvider.defaults.withCredentials = true;

Refreshing a JWT token is the responsibility of the authentication server, e.g. an OAuth2 server can send a JWT token as the bearer token response and the usual mechanism for refreshing applies, i.e. using a refresh token. This does mean that the auth server is _not_ stateless since it must keep track of issued tokens, but the app servers which trust the JWT token _are_ (or can be) stateless.

Has anyone here used https://www.npmjs.com/package/glob ?

I'm trying to glob for an image in specific folder, in my case its a folder for an album and the file is the cover art of an album. The cover will can be called cover.jpg/jpeg/png.

at the moment I'm using this code

function setCoverFile(songPath){
  //songPath is the absolute path the file of the song
  var songDir = path.dirname(songPath);
  var globPath = path.join(songDir, 'cover.+(jpg|jpeg|png)');

  glob(globPath,  function(err, files){
    if(err)
      console.log(err);

    if(files.length > 0)
      setImage(files[0]);
    else
      setDefaultImage();
  });
}

This works fine unless there is a space somewhere in the path and then it just finds nothing and I'm not sure how to fix that. I tried escaping the spaces in the globPath like so '/path/to\ a/file' but is still didn't work. I also tried wrapping the string in ' and " so it would be "/path/to a/file" and it still didn't work.

I also tried to change the working directory in the options like so

function setCoverFile(songPath){
  var songDir = path.dirname(songPath);
  var pattern = 'cover.+(jpg|jpeg|png)';

  var options = {
    cwd: songDir,
  }

  glob(pattern, options, function(err, files){
    if(err)
      console.log(err);
    if(files.length > 0)
      setImage(files[0]);
    else
      setDefaultImage();
  });
}

and I still get nothing

I think it's probably the solution to your problem. Look in activities. I have used this software in my own classes. There are also plugins and lots of other stuff. This is the best CMS for you, IMO. It's expressly designed for educators. It's free, too.

Regarding price I'm curious, because it's probably a service I can start offering that I'd never thought to. I figured most educators were aware of it. I'm not going to try to charge you for advice I gave you for free if that's what you think.

Consumer pricing tends to be very difficult for small business e.g. mine so input is often helpful, so I would appreciate if you'd tell me, it helps to gauge the market.

So you are a professional freelancer now? How much are you really making, per month (if you don't mind answering,) and how do you find work?

I want to do this but I don't see it being possible / worthwhile while living in the States. The sites I've looked at seemed to be flooded with foreigners who are willing to work for pennies. And they can do that because it costs next to nothing to live in Poland or India or Thailand.

I'm pulling in $75k in a 40 hour / week office job. I'd take less to work fully remote, and I'd love to be self-employed, but it seems extremely difficult with the foreign competition.

I mean $600 won't even pay a third of a month's rent for a 1BR apartment where I'm living right now. I'd have to do three websites / month (at your rate) just to cover rent alone. Throw in food expenses, mobile, Internet, car insurance, health insurance, etc. and you're looking at at least 5 websites a month. And that is probably only doable with static websites pages or with dynamic sites that can almost entirely done within a framework. So obviously I'd have to move somewhere cheaper to make this at all worthwhile.

Freelancing seems like a total shitshow to be honest.

I've never touched anything outside apache/php for web development.

I want to do a multi-page but very simple multiplayer browser game. Think of stuff like two players attacking a monster, the database keeping track of each player's hp, etc etc.

If you have a 75k/yr 40hr job DO NOT LEAVE TO FREELANCE

Freelance Web design is a dead end. People in low cost of living countries are churning out bad WP and now BS3 sites by the hundred using pirated templates at $50/each.

In the US, some successful "web designers" are ad agencies that come up with flashy designs, use no-code tools and are borderline incompetent programmers. They usually toss in the site design with the other services. It's what was behind that whole hideous parallax phenomenon.

Back-end people can do front-end now too thanks to Bootstrap and other frameworks that make it easier than ever to make nice sites without any graphic design.

There are also people that through dumb luck just catch on due to social networking (IRL) know the right people etc. Usually they're borderline incompetent, but social proof will have the locals claiming this guy is the best "computer programmer" on earth. And the best way to be popular is to be popular.

Some of these people outsource everything. The ones that don't, make a living by racking up hours on complicated things like Magento, Penetration testing, customizing various obscure or out-of-date technologies or software or various back-end.

That's what it seems like. I read these freelancing blogs, I check the subreddit and other forums, and there seems to be three types of people I see:
1. People who aren't actually making any real money, and are honest about it.
2. People who just seem scammy as fuck, or appear to be obviously lying about how much they are making. And that's if they mention their income at all. Most don't, and if they do, they don't go into specifics beyond their hourly rate. An hourly rate doesn't tell you anything, without knowing how many hours you're charging per project or how many projects you're doing per year.
3. People living in fucking India who can do just fine making literally one-tenth my salary.

The whole thing seems like a total fucking shitshow. I can go on Upwork right now and 95% of the projects seem like a total fucking mess, specs written by people who are clueless, and they pay dogshit. These people are asking for complicated web services for like, $500, and I'm thinking what the fuck? To do the same amount of work at my current gig I'd make something like one hundred times that much money, and that's not hyperbole. One hundred times. And I'm not a senior developer, I'm only a few years out of school.

Ignore the header, fine for now.
I want the grey main content as it is. Ranging from header to footer, with 960witdh, scaling responsively.
The red box inside stays at a fixed size, centered withing the grey box at all times.

The problem:
I want the footer glued to the bottom but not fixed. As in, when the content is larger than the viewport the footer goes offscreen.

Also, when scaling it down, the red box should push the footer offscreen and not be affected by an additional scrollbar.

Hope that makes any sense.

>Have you considered contracting? Do a 6 month stint and then basically spend the rest of the year wanking off.
Sure. I work through a contractor right now. One thing I've noticed is most people (as in, over 90%) want their prime to be a senior dev (and by senior, they often mean a decade of experience.) So it seems to me that is largely not happening -reliably- for someone at my level of experience. Which is okay, I mean that's not surprising at all, and I don't disagree with that practice. Makes sense.

I see the chart, people claiming they are charging 400 GBP / day (comes out to about $500.) Using an 8 hour day we're talking ~$60 an hour. This brings me back to my previous point that, that tells me nothing at all. How many hours or days are these people billing per year? Where are they finding work? Are they working 70 hour weeks? Why the obtuse rate, why can't any of these people provide a simple annual salary for their typical year?

Just saying, every time I read posts by these claimed freelancers they seem scammy as fuck. Or you find the rare guy who's honest that he's not actually making money, or the guy in Bangalor.

How do I open the chrome development console (that let's you inspect elements and such) on Android chrome?

>>56047277
Only in wdg. Real programmers know what they're doing. And they hate it.

>>56065725
Small projects are a waste of time.

You should be charging like 60$ an hour minimum if you want to make the equivalent of 20$ an hour and some profit.. This is business 101.

Also go for larger 10-40k projects.

>users can't actually see what's inside of a JWT right?
Wrong, users can see the data, it's just base64 encoded, try pasting on jwt.io
>The copy they authenticate with is encrypted if I understand correctly
No, it is signed so we know the server made it and not somebody else

>>56071599
As somebody said, you gotta be on the spectrum to enjoy this shit.

>>56072598
you can have it encrypted too, so the client can't read it.

Is React only useful with Node.JS? I wouldn't mind learning how to use it but would prefer having my server on an nginx/php backend.

>>56073677
no, react is client side, it doesn't matter what your backend is written in.

why wordpress' theme docs are stuck on "coming soon" since more than a fucking year? is there any alternative book or online docs on how to code a theme or do i have to go with their shit outdated theme cookbook?

Someone redpill me on eval being dangerous/evil/a security risk. Why do people say javascript's eval can be a security risk? How can it be one when it's all frontend?

I mean, it obviously has its problems and should be avoided if possible (annoying to debug, IDE might not pick up on it, easy to misuse, etc), but I'm not sure if it's just dumbass retards over exaggarting it because they read some article about eval being bad.

>>56074375
It's not a security risk if the code you feed it does not contain user input.
If it does, the risks should be obvious unless you know nothing about webdev

Pronouncable 4 letter (not char) .coms worth much these days? Out of the loop for a decade or so.

I'm maintaining a HTTP site that deals with logins.

Is it logical requiring the use of javascript so that I can hash it with something like SHA512 and unsetting the password field before sending through HTTP?

>>56074446
I don't know but I have .work and .link domains that costed me literally nothing so yeah

>>56074456
what difference would it make?
if someone intercepts the traffic he can just send you the hash then and login anyway.
use https.

>>56074375
It's obvious security risk when contains user input, it's string not code and using it indicates serious problems with your code structure. Basically if you use it theb you are shitty dev and if some other program forces you to use eval then it's shitty program. Interestingly i have seen later case with wordpress.

if you find yourself often forget to add brackets, or other syntax error, using a linter like eslint / jshint / standard might help.

To be fair everything has vulnerabilities.

>>56078974
yeah, but some are much worse than other ones. and you'd expect real security from a library that is going to be used for security.

I know a little bit of html/css and javascript enough to make a generic web page but I have no knowledge when it comes to the internet side of the work.
I know all of jack shit about networks, servers and such. I know nothing about how to actually make my generic page an actual website that can be visited through the internet.
Are there any specific resources out there that can teach me about this stuff?

I'm practising JS using an AJAX website where one of the pages has a slideshow. Right now I run the init function each time this page is visited, but this results in duplicate eventListeners. So, I have a function that unbinds the events before binding them once again.

Is this retarded? I feel like running functions based on individual elements is bad practice.

slideshow: {
  init: function() {  
    App.slideshow.off();
    App.slideshow.container.classList.add('slideshow');
    App.slideshow.currentImage.classList.add('active');
    App.slideshow.on();
  },

  on: function(){
    App.el.win.addEventListener('keydown', App.slideshow.keys);
    App.el.win.addEventListener('mousemove', App.slideshow.mouse);
    App.slideshow.container.addEventListener('click', App.slideshow.click);
  },

  off: function() {
    App.el.win.removeEventListener('keydown');
    App.el.win.removeEventListener('mousemove');
    App.slideshow.container.removeEventListener('click');
  }

>I know html, css pretty decent...what should i learn now?
Javascript. (Not just jQuery.)

>What exactly do i need to know to start making money with webdev?
>Where i get my fist custommers?

Freelance is overrated and you'll find it very hard to make any money without experience and a network in place. You should concentrate on getting a job in the industry, and transition to freelance later on (if you still want to) once you have plenty of contacts to send you referrals. If you're determined to go freelance right away, I would consider getting a sales job of some sort. Freelance is like 75% being a salesman and 25% development.

>Where i get my first customers?

Another good way of getting work is contacting design/programming studios for collaborations, as they often come across the opposite problem: too much work and not enough people to do it. Freelancers are a good way for them to take on bigger projects. It's essentially like being hired temporarily, and a great way of networking.

How do you all feel about material design single page web applications? The web application I'm making at work is material because I think it looks nice.

>>56085473

Find out what your potential users like, a 4chan user's opinion shouldn't really be relevant to you right now.

Is NodeJS just a meme? Something about single threaded programs with no web security is a bit of a concern for me.

I'm thinking of just doing a few Ajax calls for my website but am considering going through the React + NodeJS route.

>>56086387
Right, I'm not going to base my design decisions on what 4chan says. Our app is well into production and we've decided to use material for all of our new applications. I'm the lead developer for our engineering systems applications, so it was me who made that call. I chose it since it allows my developers to focus more effort on functionality rather than ux design while at the same time maintaining a certain minimum standard of ux quality.

I was just wondering what the general opinion on material was, aesthetically and otherwise.

tl;dr hosting, got meh hosting, need better/cheaper, what do?

Using bluehost now. Just had a personal site w/my resume and a separate political blog with a small readership. Worked fine for that.

Putting up a real commercial site now. Just realized I have at least 6 months left on BH and that hostgator and a bunch of other places are cheaper and have better service (including some I'll probably need).

I also done fucked up bad and registered my company domain name through my host and not my registrar. Just transfer it?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
anon

>>56087538
Transfer domain to namecheap.
Use openshift

>>56087448
Material design looks good in mobile apps in my opinion, but I don't think I'd build an entire website using that design flow.

Since you're only making a single page application then that's fine too, as long as you don't over-do it to a point where it starts looking like a blown-up version of a mobile application.

>>56087578
ty very much for advice anon

Why does adding 2 to 0 give me 02, in Javascript? Adding 2 to this gives me 022. Adding 4 gives me 024, etc.

>>56088447
stop adding strings you idiot

>>56088463
But they're not. I'm parsing it first and checking the number after the fact, it's most definitely an integer.

>>56088476
then post your code maybe?

That's what you get for not using typescript
