What's going to happen if I launch with no capctha and no post timer?

I currently have a site with a 5 minute post timer and it works well, but more people will use this.

I want to add a captcha but it would ruin the design.

Does anyone have any experience with ecommerce software like magento?

My dad was quoted about £10k for a pretty small website he wants to start, but I have some front end experience, and was wondering if I could just do it myself for a bit of cash?

Is it complicated or will youtube tutorials suffice?

>>58048403
Magento is terrible in my opinion, everything is done through XML files.

Depending on his needs you're better off using something else.

I haven't done HTML/CSS in a few years, how do I re-learn with all the new semantics and stuff?

I am totally new to this side of things, why is that a downside, he is currently thinking of using this ekmpowershop site which is just a monthly fee, but it looks very basic, and the sites look shit.

just write it like you're used to and throw it in a validator afterwards, then edit out the errors it gives you.

Click the No. next to someone's post. See how it adds it to the URL, but doesn't refresh the page or anything? How do you do that?

For example... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malagasy_white-eye#cite_note-Skerrett-2

The # thing. I really like that feature, but I'm new so I don't know what it's called. Don't need it done for me, just need a place to start.

>>58048900
it's an anchor.

<a href="#jump">jump</a>

will scroll to

<div id="jump"></div>

How do I find out if a div has overflow?

I'm trying to debug. Heights are perfect on some resolutions and then not when the viewport changes.

>>58048929
Oh... It's like those arrow buttons that take you back to the top of the page.

That's pretty simple. Neat.

How do I fill height?

I need 100% height of an area with a margin of top 40px and bottom 124px.

I tried just using margin but it blew beyond the bottom of the page magically.

If you have Pajeet-tier backend skills you should just also a WordPress site together to do it.

>>58049229
>If you have Pajeet-tier backend skills

I don't even have that

>>58049439
Hire me. I'll do it for less than $10,000

$9,999

Nice a 20% discount

Am I better off using a spritesheet compared to using the sprites saved as individual svgs?

This is for my infinite minesweeper project

>>58049603
Still...

>>58049686
If you are using HTTP/1.1 then use a sprite sheet. If you're using HTTP/2.0 then it doesn't matter, you can do either

What do I need to know about PHP to get a PHP job.

PHP is also still the easiest language to get a job in right?

yep

>>58050978
The usual.

Zend, symfony, laravel, cakephp, Javascript, React, Angular, C#, Visual Basic, FORTRAN...you need 15 years professional experience in at least 6 of these for an entry-level position as junior PHP dev.

>>58050978
You don't even need to know how to poo in loo to get a PHP job.

>>58050978
Connect to a database, loop through rows, and output HTML. That's 95% of what PHP devs do. Learn PDO if you want to score some extra points.

Russia will DOS you with prejudice.

(actually I have no idea, but am going to be in a similar boat soon so bump)

I have an app running on Express.js. I want to schedule an API call for a certain time in the future, and NOT call it directly from a client. How can I do this? Is it workers, serverless something or other? Or something else I don't know about?

Also,
>>58053123
start with Codecademy, branch out from there, and follow the OP links.

>>58053155
Look up a scheduler package for node

What do you guys think about Oracle suing people for not paying to use Java.

I didn't even know companies paid to use Java.

I personally hate Java, so I would like it to die.

>>58053123
Make something that works and is useful.

Extra points if people use it.

As primarily and Angular 1.5 dev is the full stack react book worth it for the transition? Anyone know if i can obtain it somewhere?

Web babies are seriously so incompetent.

>>58047942

I'm trying to get a menu show up on desktops, and a different menu show up for mobile devices. Anyone got solutions to that? Or should I just make a seperate mobile version of the site instead of trying to make it resize and change up the regular version?

>>58057021
use CSS media queries

>>58048506
>why is that a downside

Your problem is that nothing you think you know from HTML or even PHP skills will help when everything you want to do is fucking around with a horrible file format.

I haven't personally developed with Magento - but I've supported servers running it, and it's always ended up being a tonne of work.

>>58057290

Forgot to say.. use Stripe. It's less painful.

Why doesn't /dpt/ take us seriously? When and why did the web developers aren't real programmers meme start?

I'll try. I just hate to fuck it up when it's so close to done.

>>58053045
I added a captcha.

I have a site that gets like 1.5k a day and doesn't get spammed, but every so often someone comes along and abuses the system hardcore. I've been hit by sql injection bots that couldn't get by my handwritten scrubbers...I don't even use prepared statements on that site. Shit gets crazy.

Anyways, I would recommend a 5 minute post timer and a captcha if you're expecting any real traffic.

>>58057341
We aren't...not really. I would argue that full-stack is more difficult than what dpt does, but most of our regular devs can't touch what they do.

Math isn't hard when you know what the solution should be.

>prepare my wordpress based website to go live
>already see bots trying to login
This looks promising.

>>58057341
look at this thread and there's literally only 1 post with code in it.
that should tell you something about how fucking retarded web dev is.
