Anyone know a good online page mockup tool? Pretty much just need to draw boxes and text

>>56109750

might as well write some html templating and css and be done with it. The only way to get accurate mockups.

I'm making a phone number reporting tool with react and node. How do I generate new pages whenever users report new phone numbers? I just need some direction, I can figure out the rest once I have google terms

Dear god...

Do you think you have to buy a new tv for every tv channel you want to watch as well? Just parametrize your page.

Anyone want to be business partners? I want someone like me so you must use vim or emacs, Linux as your main desktop OS, hate both Clinton and trump and sjws, not be a weaboo, and must be pro-privacy. I'm an intermediate developer and I prefer to code the back end. I know js and I'm learning golang. I want someone whose also intermediate but wants to code more towards the front end. If anyone is interested shoot me a message at [email protected]

I'd like to upgrade a legacy-ish project to use Browserify or Webpack (currently based on bower+wiredep+gulp+pure voodoo magic), but the thought of having to manually update 8.5k lines of code is kind of daunting
It kind of helps that everything is already ultra-modularized, but still

Do I also have to look like you? It would get wierd getting a blowjob from someone who's your doppelganger.

I have a word press site for my company right now. Family business. I want to wipe it an d put a new one in. Getting rid of the word press part would be difficult and I am not sure if I want to in the long run.

Right now I just want to make a one page thing for the business is there a good guide for WordPress just to get that done? I will get more complicated later but right now I just need to refresh it.

Overall WordPress seems like more of a pain then it is worth but there are some things I would like to keep on there like a calculator for product sizes. Doesnt feel like I have tons of control though.

Also need to pick some standard image sizes got about 1000 pics in lightroom right now and want to pull from them for the page.

It should be a long page with info folded into drop downs or something.

Anyone know a good place to start with WordPress?

>>56110596

I should add I can code python C and some C++. html and css is fine but Ive avoided WordPress this thing just feels shitty. There has to be a way to open it up though.

I plan on at least checking out Ruby once I've set everything up and migrated all my sites. So far it's the only server scripting language I have experience with.

>>56097743
Thanks. I've done a good amount of research since that last point and now know it's possible, but...

Exim4 is the default MTA on my VPS. It's not configured at all. Looking up the web I find lots of stackoverflow posts showing how to use various MTAs as null clients to get the job done with PHP mail().

Problem is all those posts assume those MTAs are already preconfigured for the job.

Isn't there a conclusive tutorial on how to set up any MTA as a null client from scratch to use with script functions?

Otherwise I only have a tutorial for settig up one's own webserver on hand. I may end up going down that path if I don't find anything else...

but that may be an unfathomable pain in the ass.

You should make a political questionnaire when you sign up for the site, if you score too liberal, you get lumped in with all the other leftists and are randomly matched up with each other. Only if you score above that group do you get matched appropriately.

Does anyone know how to hide the navbar in bootstrap when on mobile, but keep the drop-down working.

anything like .navbar display:hide means that the drop-down gets hidden as well.

Why don't you just use some SMTP client like PHPmailer?

>>56113766
That's an option too, but I'd have to find a mail provider who I can relay to first.

Anyone wanna team up and make an app? I have an idea for one. It's like twitter but better. Twitter is becoming obsolete and its not personal anymore. Bloated as fuck. I'll manage the project. I can code but only front end shit.

>>56113766
Considered it. Wanted to test it with the mail account connected to my shared webhosting, but don't know what the port would be for that.

Just use an API like gmail's for now so you can keep moving forward with the important features in a prototype. Once you've made more progress and have a better idea of what you need, you can set up your own mail server and swap it out for the other one.

So I just went to W3schools and took the Javascript test to see where I was at. I got an 84%. Am I ready to just put what I know to work onto my website projects with the help of Google and Javascript references on W3schools?

>>56114456
Being able to identify the correct way of doing things isn't the same as being able to implement them yourself.

I don't know "how much" you know about JS, only you can be the judge of that. Try doing shit on your own, if it doesnt work, maybe find a better source to learn than a multiple choice quiz on W3schools.

Check out Freecodecamp, probably the best way to dive into JS and apply it to real world applications.

>>56114568
I think I know plenty of JS to at least learn as I go. I've taken a Java class and know a bit of Php. Apart from the syntax, don't they all follow the same semantics? I've also done the Codecademy on it. Only thing I bug on is how to insert code into Html. Haven't done much of the whole, "getDocumentById()" or whatever. I don't think I'm going to bother with Jquery either since my goal is back-end.

>>56114456
I literally just took this test. I've never written a line of JS. Got 84%. Safe to say no you are not ready.

>>56114618
Go for it then. I've learned that the hardest part of learning your first language is the transition from Beginner --> Intermediate.

Only because you know enough to do "Something" but you don't know what "Something" is if you haven't seen it or used it.

This is where I see most people give up. Don't give up.

>>56114622
Well JS is similar to all languages. Just gonna use the reference instead of taking some crash course.

>>56114456

Guys I know fuck all about anything but am interested in learning php as I want to change career paths and there are a fuck load of relatively well paying jobs in my area asking for people who know php and sql.

I've started studying some material and watching tutorials.

With a longer term view i'd like to become freelance and stop being a wagecuck.

How realistic is this?

I appreciate this is a probably a retarded question.

>>56115456
also interested, preferably in back end but full stack is a realistic goal

>>56115456
>With a longer term view i'd like to become freelance and stop being a wagecuck

Freelance is the worst kind of wagecuckoldry though. You're doing 3 jobs. Finding work, doing the work, and chasing clients for the money that you're owed for having done the work. All while competing with every Pajeet and Sandeep on Fivrr and Upwork who will willingly work for a bowl of rice a day.

What you're looking for is Consultancy, which is what you do after a successful career with experience and industry contacts.

Alternatively you could make your own side-project and get money from it

There's a lot of choice in langauges, try a few and then choose the one you like the most and someone will probably pay you to do it. Most of the jobs near me were also PHP and ASP.NET, but I learned Node.js, and ended up in a Node.js dev job that I actually like. Yes, its possible to get a job you like.

>>56109720
Hey /wdg/ I have some questions. I'm learning how to be a full stack developer and I have 3 years experience in C# and Python and C++ among others, and I'm getting a grounding right now in HTML and CSS.

So far I've made a few pages with Flask, but now I'm starting to wonder about Javascript. What role does it play?

Is Javascript the serverside scripting language?

Like,
>Python: The backend language(because of Flask)
>Javascript: The serverside scripting language
>HTML & CSS: The front end languages

>>56117563
Front end scripting.

>>56117641
Ahhhhhh ok that makes sense.
So is Javascript pretty much necessary for shit, or can I BS my way around it somehow? The way I've been doing shit on webpages so far is just by passing shit to and from the HTML with Python.

It's funny how they worry so much about garbage collection because being a trashman is their only viable career choice.

>>56117658

Depends on what you want to do, but learning Javascript properly if you have some programming experience is quite a trip. Don't fall for the framework meme, learn it from scratch.

At the very least, learn the ES6 edition, but for all it's warts, the ES5 standard has a flexibility that many other languages don't have.

The only reason I ever come to /g/ in the first place is if I have a question I can't google for, and then I go into either /dpt/ or /wdg/. After I get the answer I close the page.

I don't care about your retarded bad blood with /dpt/, I just wanted an answer, and you automatically make the assertion that I'm trying to make easy money. Probably because you're insecure about your job being easy to do or something. Which I'm not trying to say at all, but Jesus. You're just setting yourself up to get fucked with by /dpt/ or whatever.

Can anyone help me decipher what any of this means? I'm trying to install ffmpeg-php extension.

I download the file and try to install it. Here are the installation directions:

"Unpack the ffmpeg-php sources

tar -xjf ffmpeg-php-X.x.x.tbz2

Change to the ffmpeg-php extension directory and run phpize (included with your PHP installation) to build configuration files. NOTE: if your php installation does not include phpize, you may have to install a php-dev package for your distro (usually named: php-dev, php-devel or similar)

cd ffmpeg-php-X.x.x/
phpize

Configure and build the extension.

./configure && make

Install the shared extension.

sudo make install

If everything went as planned, ffmpeg-php is now installed as a shared extension.""

The tar command line code isn't doing shit so I'm just extracting through archive manager and saving the stuff on my dloads. I dloaded php7.0-dev and got a phpize7.0, but don't know what to configure it to. I'm completely lost.

JavaScript is client-side in-browser on-the-google-nets scripting. Holy fuck anon.Just search "<your browser here> javascript console" on the interbutts and you'll find it. You may be confused by the fact that you have either heard or used (through node.js) javascript without a supporting browser. This is not standard behaviour. JS was made with the browser in mind. I am not saying serverside JS is an abomination unto God (I'm still on the fence), but if you already have another language on the backend, integrating it with JS (or any non-compiled langauge for that matter) is usually a waste of time
