>don't assume my social skills
I wasn't assuming anything. (I am now, though)

The reason I mentioned that is because a lot of people want to go into freelance web dev because they think it's a job where you can just sit at your computer and make websites, when in reality it's mostly talking to people and trying to sell them shit. Nothing about that was directed at you in particular, and you'd know that if you had actually read the post instead of sperging out at the mention of social skills.

>My issue has been more meeting people with small businesses who would actually want a website.
Then maybe you should find businesses with shitty websites and convince them to upgrade.

Trying to do this:

and since this is more of an arts thing and not that really computer science, I'm thinking of getting some marketing certs along the way.

https://wctc.edu/programs-and-courses/business/social-media-marketing/index.php

and maybe

https://wctc.edu/programs-and-courses/applied-technologies/marketing-media/index.php

Does anyone have any recommendations or advice?

>>56391678
If you're trying to get into a programming / web dev / IT job, it's usually BS CS or don't bother. Companies mostly won't care about AS degrees and almost certainly won't care about the marketing certs. You're probably better off saving the money and self-teaching or doing courses on udemy / coursera / etc.

Sup guys. I'm making a web app with a dynamic form. When the user clicks 'Add Another' a new form field is generated where they can input information.
How do I get all the values from the form using JavaScript since the fields will not have a set amount or a set name/ID?
And how do I make sure none of them are empty?

>>56396347
It returns 0-2 as it should

PHP is so ugly what the fuck.7

>>56396586
I always have some trouble when people use var name in their own language, mixing it with english terms.

For your error, it means you've already sent the header somewhere. Are you sure you're not outputting anything before session_start? session_start should be a priority.

Ah, I see you have a <body> on top, that's probably why. session_start above any output.

>>56396677

>>56396807
Not necessarily. It depends on your project structure. But as you can see, for sessions, it can cause problems. Simply put session_start on top of everything, even if you only use it later in the code.

>>56396791

Does this look right? I'm trying to create a function that can be called using an optional callback and return a Promise if no callback is supplied.

someAsyncFunc = (someArg, callback) => {
  const promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    doAsyncThing(someArg.foo, someArg.bar, (err, asyncResult) => {
      if (err) {
        reject(err);
      } else {
        resolve(asyncResult);
      }
    });
  });

  if (!callback) {
    return promise;
  } else {
    promise
      .then(result => callback(null, result))
      .catch(err => callback(err));
  }
}

then use it with a callback func:

someAsyncFunc(stuff, (err, result) => {
  if (err) {
    handle(err);
  } else {
    doStuffWith(result);
  }
});

or use it as a promise:

someAsyncFunc(stuff)
  .then(result => {
    doStuffWith(result);
  })
  .catch(err => handle(err));

Maybe a dumb question but I am having problems finding the answer.

I'm trying to use Mongo/Mongoose in my application (huur durr), and I'm trying to have an array of items inside my document. The thing is, is that I want to keep them unique, but I can have two of the same type saved within my array, even though I have it set so its supposed to be unique.

Is there a reason for this? I've dropped the database in case it didn't catch on that they have to be unique, but it seems like the Array type in Mongo doesn't support unique indexes natively.

>>56398299
I don't understand your question. What do you mean by unique?

>>56397202
>>56397251

Hello /wdg/ i was wondering if you could help me with setting my homepage, i have to .html file with all the css saved in it and was wondering how to set it up as homepage for my Chromium browser.

https://github.com/ubuntufag/html

>>56398327
I should phrase it better, but I'm a little tired.

I'm basically trying to implement a version of facebooks "save post" kind of thing. What I mean by unique is, is that I can save the same 2 posts (they have the same uniqueID/everything) in my database, even though I have it set in my Mongoose schema that I want them unique (so no two posts are in the same array)

Red pill me on CSS transform /wdg/.

>>56398383
I don't use facebook. Is that save post function like a watch later on Youtube?

>>56398402
Yeah, that would be the closest thing. Right now its letting me save the same 2 posts (or two youtube videos for example) within my Mongodb array. I've tried to look around, and it seems like it might not natively let you have unique indexes in the array.

>tfw you spend 2 hours refactoring some ugly code into something clean and well organized but then it doesn't fucking work for some reason.

I want to make a div behave like a link.

Found this 5 year old answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/796087/make-a-div-into-a-link/3494108#3494108

Is this still the way to go, or is there a more elegant way that I haven't found?

What am I doing wrong? when I import my components shit breaks.

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';

import {Header} from './components/Header';
import {Home} from './components/Home';

class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div className="container">
        <div className="row">
          <div className="col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1">
            <Header/>
          </div>
        </div>
        <div className="row">
          <div className="col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1">
            <Home/>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

render(<App/>, window.document.getElementById('app'));

As soon as I remove this it starts working again.

>>56402499

>>56402416
In your case it would only make the code more readable. Read up on const, let, template strings and arrow functions. Also, don't fucking assign anonymous functions to variables, when they can just be named function declarations.

Should be:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

import Header from './components/Header';
import Home from './components/Home';

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return(
      // markup goes here.
    );
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.body);

I think the problem is that the render() function is declared twice between 'react' and 'react-dom'.

>>56403196
Wait, sorry, render() wasn't declared twice because both declarations are in separate classes. I think you were just importing Header and Home the wrong way.

>>56400678
Do you have an error you can show us? I don't know how your home or header components/files look like, but one/both of them is obviously why it breaks.

>>56403226
Hold on, I just tried out both your code and mine, and both of them compile just fine. No idea why it's breaking for you, maybe you have an incompatible version of 'react' or 'react-dom'?

>>56402589
>Am I going to get bullied here if I said that it's on Flask+SQLAlchemy?
Yes, because no matter what you use, it's the wrong thing.

What the hell?! Does nodejs not have a dbconnector and ajax equivalent?
Might just do it all in php if I need to use it anyways.

>>56402589
That sounds fine.

>>56405787
Yes, PHP is the ONLY language that can connect to a database and receive AJAX requests.

This is common knowledge.

>>56405787
It's combo of three very simple concepts - scroll event, AJAX and API. Do you really need to be spoonfeed about how to connect them?

>>56405862
>Yes, PHP is the ONLY language that can connect to a database and receive AJAX requests.
>This is common knowledge.
Kek Ok I see node-mysql now.
For some reason my first several searches turned up nothing but people combing node and php.

>>56405118
>Which basic things should I attempt to implement?

If I were doing it, I'd try to copy Express.

Core functionality:
- URL parsing
- routing
- middleware hooks

Then, as middlewares, implement whatever other features you want:
- body parsing
- cookie parsing
- sessions
- etc

>Also, in what way should I implement user authentication?

If you're asking this, you probably aren't ready to handle making your own web framework from scratch. Learn how to do it using an existing framework before you try to make your own.

In general, a simplified version of the way password-based authentication works is this:

- When a user creates an account, they supply a unique identifier (email, username, etc) and a password.

- The server salts and hashes the password (google it) and creates a database record for the user containing the unique identifier and password hash. (Its very important to never store unhashed passwords anywhere.)

- Later, when the user wants to log in, they supply the identifier and password. The server looks up the record using the identifier and hashes the supplied password. The hashed supplied password is then compared to the hash on file, and if they match, the user is allowed to log in.

- Your users probably don't want to have to log in every time they make a request, so you need to store the user's state somewhere. That's a little bit complicated, since http on its own is stateless (also, statefulness isn't RESTful, if you care about that). You need to store that state in a session or as a JSON Web Token (google it)

Hope that helps.

Use literally anything,

>>56408990
>>56409110
Literally any db besides mongo. If you want a NoSQL db, couchDB is a good choice. If you prefer SQL (and you should, generally), Postgres is good. Maria is another option.

Personally, I prefer not to run databases on my host machine, so I'll either spin up a docker container with whatever db I want to use, or just use sqlite. Note: sqlite is generally no good for production environments. It's not a real db, just a file pretending to be one, so sharding and multiple concurrent users are not possible. It doesn't eat your RAM though.

>>56409664
>Can I use react as my sort of view engine
That's pretty much what React is for.

>to get parameters from the server?
You mean just get some data from the server? You can do that with AJAX.

>>56410251
It's basically just bootstrap with slightly different classes and conventions. It's ok I guess, but it's probably not going to revolutionize the way you do things.

>>56410600
>it's probably not going to revolutionize the way you do things.

well, I find myself wasting lots of time copying its components in other frameworks (for example the dimmer and loader)..

I might as well use the whole framework and ditch bootstrap. But ffs I struggle to find a good tutorial on it (how to set it up and how to override its components)

In 4 years you could basically learn every language and framework that has ever existed.

Your idea isn't very unique, are you trying to appeal to a special niche of sports betting? If yes, will that niche still be a thing in 4 years? Do you think anyone else will bet you to the punch?

If I were you I'd be aiming a lot closer to 4 months instead of 4 years,

>>56413638
>Can somebody name the skills I'd been to learn to create a sports betting website and app?
I do this at my job.

Some kind of server-side web programming shit. We use Node.js and PHP in some parts.
Databases, probably cache stuff too. We use CouchDB and Redis. I wouldn't recommend NoSQL if your data is relational, we mostly store transaction data which so map/reduce works well for us.
Webserver stuff like NGINX and server configuration

Probably have to interface with a bunch of gambling APIs. At work we use Amtote and UnitedTote betting hubs. Good luck getting access to those

Might need some kind of payment processor, but Stripe won't touch you if you do gamblng so good luck with that.

Forget about apps too because Android play store don't allow gambling apps.

You might even need some kind of license depending on where you live.

I dunno what you have in mind, but you'll run into a lot less hassle if you pick another sector to operate in. Gambling is a pain in the ass.

What's the difference between using a loop on list elements as opposed to using event delegation on the parent element and just target the list triggered? Seems like the event delegation option gets rid of unnecessary looping and making every item have a function that does the same thing.

How is the job market for a self-taught web dev/programmer these days? Is it becoming over-saturated?

>>56417332
Yes, somewhat. There are millions of educated Pajeets with a diploma who are more likely to get hired than those who are self-educated.

Don't self-teach, get a diploma in something you love and that won't get outsourced that fast. Sysadmin jobs won't get outsourced, as people don't trust Pajeets who live overseas to handle their critical network architecture. This is why they would look for locals to sign a work contract with them.

>>56417332


It's incredibly oversaturated. For a value of "developer" that roughly equates to "installs Wordpress and plugins".

We interviewed for a python develop position recently and nearly every applicant had never written a line of code, and basically "whatever that Python is, I'm sure I can find a plugin to do it".

Who cares what country they are in? So few servers are actually in Australia, local websites would be extreme outliers for your average local customer.

Building a website for a friend who is a fashion designer. I basically need to find a way to allow her to upload a ton of images of her designs, but where do I store them?

Should I just store them in a directory on the site or should I get a CDN? I don't expect her site to get too much traffic right now so storing them on the server might be okay, but if yes to using a CDN, what is the best free one to use?

>>56421965
Wordpress with a good theme (0 to 60 bucks) + cloudflare free (automatically caches images, etc).

I can search for those posts or I can search for threads with that subject, but I can't make the two intersect.

Just fuck around with different database systems over the weekend and then add them to your resume.

Mongo doesn't use SQL, its noSQL, it also doesn't save your data and is basically a meme. If you want decent noSQL databases to play around with try CouchDB and RethinkDB. Key/value stores like Redis are also good.

I got a junior position interview coming up in a week. Looks like the position uses a lot of WordPress, which I think is common I don't really care because I just need experience.

For a junior/entry level position with WordPress what kind of things would I need to know? I know the interface already and I can make a site on there. I never really fucked with the php for it too much though, how deep does php go for WordPress?

What kinds of things should I be studying for? Obviously you don't know what the job wants but for an entry level position in general what kinds of things should I know?

Thanks in advanced.

Check out the source of some of the leaner themes and you see how it works.

At a minimum learn what the popular plugins do (Yoast SEO, total cache, ...) and why they're so good. No need to reinvent the wheel.

I have a small api proxy engine/management system I'm building.
I need a small description language built for the engine for configuration of data passing.

I've done this a few times but don't know how to best go about it for this.

The server is prototyped in NodeJS for the time being. Is it possible to integrate a small contextual language written with Flex/Bison in Node or am I better off just sticking with yet another node package.

First things first when dealing with recruiters, is your resume shit? Lots of them won't fucking touch you if you're not marketable. Do you have a portfolio? They can't take your word for it that you're good. If you have those two things make sure you are contacting the right recruiters, some of them specialize in helpdesk and what not and they simply don't have web clients.

Consider hitting them up on LinkedIn, those jackals will send invites to anyone that view their profiles, just reach out to one on there.

Lately I've been creating some simple RESTful web-services with Node.js, but I'm coming from making them with Jersey on Java for a couple years.

While I find it makes my life easier in some aspects, it also creates many problems that I didn't have with Java.

- My code is a mess of callbacks and async calls. This makes it both more prone to errors and harder to debug. In Java everything was linear and easier to read. Also explicitly launching new threads made controlling the concurrency chaos a bit less chaotic. I know Node.js works with a single thread and just resolves most shit asynchronously.

- Due to its single-threaded nature, Node.js just fucking kills itself whenever an uncaught exception ocurrs. I don't find it acceptable no matter how fast I can develop on it. I can't have peace of mind knowing that a single mistake in my code just takes down the server entirely.

My question is where I could get some middle-ground. I'd like something more "agile" than Java, but that's not as extravagant as having JS's wacky behaviour on my server.

What do you guys use?

>>56428347
C++ or Golang, maybe C#.

>>56428347
Golang. It fits the middle ground between the ease of dynamic languages and the speed and robustness of compiled languages quite well.

You can do apps, just because Android Play Store don't allow gambling apps, doesn't mean you can't host it on your site like every online gambling companies.

FUEL REST API.

I hate all this marketing shit.

So single page applications are basically webpages that get most info from the server at the start and then the client handles the rest? Like as soon as you visit the /home of a single page app you might also get code from /about or /contact?

2 wks with HTML/CSS
2 months with JavaScript and basic programming concepts
1 month with Express and Mongo
1 wk with Angular

2 wks wrapping your head around everything while putting it all together as you build your first MEAN app. Many will tell you that Mongo is garbage, but for the most part it isn't, there are lots of tutorials for these technologies out there too, but you can replace Mongo with Couch to avoid autistic meltdowns on /wdg/ when asking questions related to it.

Once you have a basic idea of how dynamic webapps work.Move on to Java, Phyton, C# or Go and SQL databases. And learn about object oriented programming and the model-view-controller design pattern, these are just paradigms to make your code cleaner. Add another month or two depending on how well you grasped the concept of programing languages from JavaScript. All in all you could be looking for a job in 6 months with 2 or 3 projects in your folio.

I don't really know PHP, but you shouldn't fuck with your brackets.

<?php $ayy = "aayy lmao"; ?>
<input type='text' name='ayy' class='lmao' placeholder='ayy lmao' value="<?php echo $ayy ?>" required>

<?php
    $ayy = 'ayy lmao';
    echo "<input type='text' name='ayy' class='lmao' placeholder='ayy lmao' value='$ayy' required>"
?>

What are you smoking dude?

I meant quotes. He only had to change value=".$ayy." into value='.$ayy.'

I ran into an issue out of nowhere.

After clicking the generate link button, it unhides the div correctly, then reloads the page and it's not supposed to.

Anyone have any idea? I've been comparing code from a prior version and can't figure it out.

Figured it out. Didn't have the form to return false;
