/wdg/ - Web Development General

My work uses Google Docs for timesheets.

Like you have to copy and paste a formula for each cell and change 4 numbers every single time.

Why they haven't made a webpage to do this? Who knows.

Should I use drupal, joomla, or django for a CMS for a website I'm making that is just going to have articles I write and a comment section.
I only know HTML/CSS/vanilla javscript and I figure it would be better and quicker to just grind the rest of the way by making something.

I'm learning webdev while working part time. Ideally how many hours should I be trying to do a day? I'm currently doing four hours of freecodecamp.

Any other resources that I should be spending time on?

Do you think that people should be required to leave their name/email address in commented out code that they've written so that people who have to maintain or work on it later can ask them questions about it? I think this would be a cool practice.

I'm learning how to write HTML 5 and CSS.

My girlfriend is a graphics designer and does a bunch of EDM's which are making emails look pretty.

I looked at the code for it and it was fucking ridiculous. They need to fix it.

So I spent the last half year with React/Redux/webpack/ES6 and stuff and got the project lead on a large scale SPA with that technology stack
Super excited

Yes, like when a client wants you to add a button and you have no idea what font to use or how they made the button.

Yes, people still use image buttons.

I'm trying to make a card game using a flask backend and a pretty bare frontend.
I plan on having multiple users playing the game together and running the actual game on the backend. My question is what sort of framework/library should I be using to communicate between the server and clients. So the server picks a card to deal to the client and then it'll display client side as well as for other clients.

Should I be using jquery and socketio? Pretty new to web dev.

Apache or Nginx

>>59292788

I'd pick Django but that's just preference.

>>59296121
nginx if you have lots of traffic
Apache if you don't care about configuration

Hey guys, what do you use to build blogs? I was thinking about Jeckyll

>>59296205
WordPress if you want to be hired by a company that does just that

>>59296224

I don't. I'm more interested in working in finance.

>>59295049
I'd rather not use wordpress since it does most of the work by itself and I'm still new so I'd rather learn to do that stuff so I can get an actual job.
>>59296162
Thanks, wasn't sure if there was much of a difference between them

thx for the advice.

what IS webassembly? can I code a webpage in C++ somehow, and just convert it to a webassembly with the click of a button?

Meaning you dont have to learn javascript.. html, and 50 other things?


I just kind of googled it and it seems kind of like I still need to know some html unfortunately.

Is the web assembly just for like coding apps into the web page, but I still need html to design and format it nicely?

Decided to go with jquery + flask-socketio.

>be php dev
>always want to do work with the front end devs

This is suffering. How can I convince the boss that I can, and should, do both? They use Titanium, I use Cordova. Close enough, right?

I constantly get their error messages while bug fixing backend and Javascript bugs are so much easier to fix.

>>59297486
Do what any reasonable person does and learn whatever front end frameworks they are doing and then tell your boss you can work alongside both back end and the front end guys.

Make sure though when you have additional responsibilities and skills that you actually get paid for it.

>>59297486
>>59297594
His boss would probably say fuck yourself, I'm paying you to do back end coding, desu.

OP, I'm a front end dev and we have people in my department that think they are designer/devs. They can't be devoted enough to design (nor are they actually good at it) to actually work effectively with the designers and PM's and this also causes their dev work to lack. It hurts design, front end, and back end teams.

That being said, there is nothing wrong with learning what you can and helping out where you can. Just don't try to be the full stack guy in a situation where it doesn't make sense, and don't impose yourself on other people's territory where they have been working for years already. It just causes problems in my experience.

>>59297486
I don't use either, but aren't Titanium and Cordova like native generators vs webviews? Not really similar it seems

should I just quit programming, it takes me longer than a couple days just to write a numbers guessing game?

>>59298393
Never quit!
Remember to get good at something you have suck at first. Then next time suck slightly less.

>>59298393
You shouldnt quit, but you need to do is learn more before getting ahead of yourself.

A numbers guessing game would be very easy to do for someone that has studied at least the very fundamentals of their language.

Where and how do I get this?

>>59293746
Yeah nothing like getting a fuck ton of pajeets filling up your inbox when they fuck up trying to copy/paste your code to whatever project has been outsourced to them.

About 2 months ago I posted that I was going to practice 8 hours a day so I could get a job ASAP. Well after 43 days of at least 8 hours a day I got a job as a full stack dev.

General question here.

I'm coming from a non-Web Dev programming background (EEE degree, mostly C/C++ experience with a single SQL tutorial under my belt) and may be getting into a MEAN Web Dev project (with pretty minimal experience) via a friend of a friend.

Basically what are the main differences/constraints I have to be aware of moving from C/C++ to Web Dev/MEAN?

>>59299857

Congratulations, anon. May I ask what resources you used to learn, what your portfolio is looking like?

Beginner here

I have started my first personal project, a flashcards web app. At this stage, I don't have the skills to build the whole thing (no back end knowledge yet, very limited JS/JQ) but my intention is to work on it as I learn and apply the skills I learn as I go along. I know what I want the app to do, its just a question of planning how to do it when I don't have the coding chops yet.

So my question is about planning an app. Should I write out a detailed plan of exactly I want the app to do at this stage, even if I don't have the ability to build it? Just advice for how to go about structuring a project in general really

>>59300224
With anything to do with programming, a good plan to implement a relatively complex program is quite essential but in your circumstance, a small outline on what you are trying to do and brainstorming how you intend to implement it should be adequate. Web development is quite WSYWIG which makes it easy to develop for, and fixing problems aren't so trivial.

In the industry, people typically use UML diagrams (class, sequence, state, activity, etc) to outline what their programs tend to do, how the inner workings of the program communicate, etc.

just wanna say, typescript is awesome

>>59301242
it is, yeah

>>59301301
A frontend for a couple of our rest servers. Those are written in scala, so switching to typescript is very easy. Also, doing things in a more typesafe manner on the frontend side feels great.

>>59301242
it has not worked out on our project. We've only used it for polyfills

>>59299857
I think I remember you, but a lot of people ask "how long to learn this" and everyone says a few months at 8 hours a day.

Good job though.

I know C# and a bit of C++, and I plan on learning web development. Will these languages be of any use to me in the web dev world?

>>59302022
C# will be, check out .NET core

>>59302022
yes you can do back end with C# and .NET . Also you will have no problems with JavaScript, the languages are pretty similar JS is easier actually.

If you know JavaScript there isn't much to know about node
a) Make sure you know how CommonJS modules work (you know, all those pesky require(...) and module.exports = {...} expressions)
b) Take a look at some often-used module (eg fs) to see how the core library handles asynchronous operations (it still uses callbacks)
c) Learn how npm and module dependencies work (it's not particularly hard)

>>59302713
Never done Javascript before. Done async exactly once and cried from it, but that was several years ago so hopefully I'm a better programmer.

So if I need to learn Node, I should just start with normal JS?

They're switching to semantic versioning and their API is about as stable as a drunk hobo on shaky ground, so expect Angular 24 by the end of 2017

Anyone have any experience in making iOS apps in Swift? Just got a job for that because this company needs Swift developers, without any prior experience with Swift/Xcode. I know php/ecmascript/memeframeworks and a bit of laravel.

how do I do this in react? everytime a post is added or updated, I want the white page background to flash this.state.bgcolor and fade back to white after like .5 seconds. I think you can do this with css animations but I'm not sure

this code currently just sets the background-color to whatever this.state.bgcolor is set to

<div className='commentWrap' style={ {backgroundColor: `rgba(${this.state.bgcolor[0]}, ${this.state.bgcolor[1]}, ${this.state.bgcolor[2]}, .3)` } }>

this is pretty much what I need to

body {
    background-color: white;
    animation-name: change;
    animation-duration: .5s;
}

@keyframes change {
    0%   {background-color:`rgba(${this.state.bgcolor[0]}, ${this.state.bgcolor[1]}, ${this.state.bgcolor[2]}, .3)`
    100% {background-color:white;}
}

>>59305912
I've seen some ridiculously incompetent web devs somehow land jobs.

Learn Sass, some build tools (Gulp or Webpack) and some popular framework, either React, Angular or Vue and you'll get a job pretty easily.

>>59305912

Don't know about where you are but in the UK companies are frequently desperate for front end developers.

Be honest about your abilities but don't talk yourself down. A lot of people starting up talk themselves out of jobs due to lack of confidence.

Learning SASS or any compiled CSS is a big boost (don't worry it's piss easy, it's just writing the same CSS in a slightly different way).

If you can do a fully responsive bootsrap site with some basic JQuery prettiness and AJAX form submission, you'll get a job no problem.

A handy entry level front end job is email marketing. Doing HTML emails is easy and helps pad your CV. Dem table based layouts...

>>59305920

If they hold it against you for not having wifi, they're pretty shitty.

I thought I tanked an interview once and still got offered the job

>office was up several flights of stairs
>"ok anon, don't show them you're unfit, keep your breathing normal"
>get into the interview room, do the introductions
>Suddenly in the middle of a sentence brain goes "you need fucking oxygen now" and I have to stop and take deep breaths like I'm hyperventilating from the pressure.

Got offered the job, wasn't enough money, got a job elsewhere.

Other interview

>"hi, talk about what you've done for a bit"
>I talk about my previous projects for 2-3 minuites
>"Well, that's great, we'll get in contact, bye"

5 minute interview so I know it had somehow gone horrible wrong. Called up the agency that reffered me, apparently the people doing the interview were completely pissed off, thought I had no clue about anything and showed a complete lack of knowledge.

Still can't figure out what I did that triggered them so hard. Maybe I mispronounced some framework or just made some minor mistake that they got autistic on rather than asked for clariffication. Either way, they pissed me off being so fucking shitty about it.

Try looking at kaggle. If not scraping wikipedia sounds like your best bet because you could grab the first few lines about the country and then also that table off to the side that has info about GPD/President/etc.

>>59299872
Probably the difference of it. I wasn't EEE but when I started learning webdev I was used to doing a project in just c/c++/java. You'd import what libraries you need, make a class, include it later when you need it.
But what tripped me up was how many different moving parts there are. Frontend and backend and how they're different but also communicate. Not sure if that helped or not but that's the biggest difference to me.

I'm doing my first React project and I have a component that displays a challenge in text, and you press a button when the challenge is completed. I also have a child component that is a timer that counts down from 10.
Is there a way for my challenge component to access the state "secondsRemaining" og the timer component? So that i can render som text when the time is up?

>>59306437
I'm not familiar with React but it sounds like the variable you use to keep track of the time is too far down the component chain, bring it up the hierarchy and then pass it to the timer component as as an attribute or whatever it is that React uses

>>59306437
parent component can pass a callback function to the child, child can call the function when it wants

I have a flexbox with a div, an SVG element, and another div in it in that order.

When rendering in chrome, all three children elements take up the height of the parent. When rendering in ie11, however, the SVG element is extremely short while, as expected, still spanning the width it should as a child in a flexbox. I can't for the life of me figure out why its height is fucked.

Anyone have experience with this stuff?

I understand they want to concentrate on the business code first to show how Angular works, but why the fuck am I installing stuff like SystemJS, RxJS and Zone.js and how does it all tie together? Okay, you don't want to scare away the newcomers, but at least put a note that says "X does Y and that's why we use it, read Z to know more"
Maybe I should try finding a bottom-up tutorial, this top-down stuff is just irking me

>>59309278
Don't remember ever using Zone or System js in the tutorial, probably since I used the angular cli instead of the quickstar github file. rxjs is just so you can use observables.

In your code you should have something that routes your server to a port. Just route it to an unused port, start up your program, in your browser go to //localhost:"specified port"

That's the problem about web dev. There is no set way to do it. There's a million different frameworks to do one thing and everyone does it a little differently.
I think you can use some bastardized UML. Which I've used to set up a database and the relationships between tables.
This video kinda helps to explain it all:
https://youtu.be/sBzRwzY7G-k

Basically you have your backend which handles the actual GET/POST requests and grabs a page to show the user as well as handles the actual logic of your site. Such as querying the DB and adding users thta signup to the DB.
Front end is making the page nice, laying it out, and getting user input to send to the server.

This shit was originally made by our CTO.

They wonder why it's so SLOW too. All of the clients complain about how slow it is and we have over 100 tables per client site with TEXT and INTEGER datatypes.

I asked if I should VARCHAR(20) for the a field I was entering and they told me just to use TEXT.

>>59312520
I mean a Jekyll site would be faster not that it would matter much on a marketing site but mainly cause then you don't have to actually host it and can throw it on github pages or aws storage or whatever for nothing or basically nothing. Perhaps that would appeal to certain clients? You have one login to know with github and you only pay for the domain. Most clients don't want to content manage shit any way they want to change one line of text every so often if the store is closed on Tuesday or whatever. On top of it if they fuck up source control is baked in so it's easy to fix

>>59312599
still you can get a oneclick wordpress install on lots of hosting providers for a few bucks a month

Quick piece of advice for a mistake that I constantly see newer/student developers make:

If you're applying to a smaller company, get rid of the skills-list-soup that normie-tier "career advice" places tell you to make.

Don't list languages that aren't in use at the place you're applying to. Don't be vague about the type of experience you have with a language. Be specific with what you say you know, and avoid saying generic things like "Experienced with X" or "Understands Y". So if you have experience with javascript, say what you did with it like, "3 years working experience with Javascript - <Framework X>, <Framework Y>, <Framework Z>". If you had a class in C#, don't say you "understand" it, say that you took a class and have rudimentary knowledge of it.

Skills-soup resumes are probably fine for really big companies or government work.

Question. May be retarded, but am somewhat noob.

How exactly does one tie in the backend with the front end? Like, say I'm using Java for my backend, how do I tie it in with my webapp?

>>59314003
ajax?

>>59314237
>>59314190
Ok. What I'm picking up from this is that a "backend" is basically a RESTful api that you create, which accesses your database for whatever data you're requesting from it. And it links into the "Front-end" via API calls in the code. Is my understanding correct?

>>59313916
I guess I messed up then.

>>59314106

Incidentally, I have had no successful callbacks so far (although it's been 1 week so far maybe it's a bit too early). From what it seems, it is because I lack "professional" experience.

Can you change html?

>>59314003
Frontend simply means that part the user sees. It can be HTML outputted by your Java app or SPA that gets data from your backend using AJAX.

>>59314324
That's one way of writing a frontend. REST-only backends have gained a lot of popularity ever since interest in JavaScript exploded.
Another way is letting the backend generate the pages that the user will receive with stuff like JSP, JSTL, etc.

>>59316510
you need to modify the code variables, not the dom elements
for instance, type angular.version in your browser console, if it anything meaningful is printed, then the site is using angular and you need to "debug" it in order to find the controller scope and variables that are doing all the work

>>59314003
you either want to serve content through server generated templates ( jsp, thymealeaf, stringtemplate ) or through static content with javascript
On the client side you'll send http requests either using forms or with ajax requests, server side make a controller that handles the specific requests your client will send, with whatever framework you like

you don't need to fall for the node meme

Does Angular 1.x have any way to declare components locally, on a component basis? Kind of like what Vue lets you do
It feels ugly having to declare every component globally

>>59316539
If you only want to make basic sites for your projects or whatever you should setup a cms like wordpress or joomla, those are available pre installed at most hosting providers and will allow you to make pretty gud stuff without having to bother with html
If your goal is instead to learn how to make websites just pick a language to run on servers and your choice of angular vue react vanilla javascript for the clients.

Beginner question here
Anyone might know how do I set a fix value for <tables> ?
I'm using boostrap but can I just put a width and length in the html code ?

I'm just trying to keep the same size for all the table wether or not I'm changing the page's resoltuion

>>59318051

.my-custom-component table {
   width: 2px;
}

>>59318051
setting a fixed width for an element defeats the purpose of using bootstrap
you are using bootstrap so that your elements get resized according to screen size

>>59316463
You Don't Know JS

>>59318139
Well I made mistake. I don't want it to keep the same size wether or not the resolution is changed but more keeping the same shape so a table won't be longer or wider than an other one.
I just want perfect rows of tables with the same size. No matter what sizes they have.

>>59318245
put tables in the same bootstrap column classes and make sure they keep the same paddings ad margins

why are there so many cucks in here advocating frameworks?

make no mistake front end can and should be done with just html, css and js/jq

>>59319165
they are a lot more efficient to work with than making everything yourself.

I can set up something that hides/shows elements based on other dependencies within seconds and it's guaranteed to be working and be very efficient.

sure you can write your own little snippet to do that, but you'll have to test it yourself and make sure it works how it's supposed in an efficient manner.
but why bother when there are frameworks that multiple people develop, test, get bugs reported and fixed and are probably a lot more thought through than your own stuff.

no one is stopping you from rolling your own thing, but to get shit done frameworks are much better when you start doing more complex applications compared to someones 4 page homepage.

>>59319165

id rather use vanilla everything to have a faster, lighter weight app then to use frameworks that bloat things. Sure we're talking milliseconds here but the faster the better. Takes a bit longer to develop, too. But it's "lower" level programming. I know that sounds retarded since this is web dev but letting frameworks hold your hand doesn't really help you learn to the point where maybe one day you could write a framework of your own if you wanted to

I have a few questions about web hosting, probably easier if I ask them one by one.

I am helping my friend wants to sort out his business' website, and that includes changing domains. Am I right in thinking that the "Correct" way to do this, is to upload the new site design to the domain that is currently used to host their website even though we plan on phasing it out, then when that is all uploaded and working, we get the new domain, upload to there, and change the old domain so it does a 301 redirect to the new domain?

>>59319978
You're not kidding, every interviewer has a hard-on for framework experience

Like you can't learn a new one on the job

>>59320242
maybe setup new design on new host /new domain first then do redirect from old domain to new host /domain so that in case you fuck up you only need to cancel the redirect to revert back to good old previous design

Self-learning here.

I've been struggling with Ruby tutorials. I find them boring and frustrating so I've moved onto Rails to try and pick up some Ruby along the way whilst actually getting to build stuff and learn more. I find I learn better by actually doing shit, tutorials and books are great for learning the basics but they soon start to drive me insane. Anyone else feel this way?

I started on RSpec but gave up pretty quick. I known I have to learn testing at some point but to be honest, I find it really hard to motivate myself to learn that shit. I'm working through Odin Project and they get into it quite early on. I honestly feel like just completing the Hartl Rails book before I even look at RSpec again. Thoughts?

startsWith returns a boolean, == will convert non null string "a" to true

I'm confused on what this does. I don't know replace that well and I know regex even less.

I was under the impression that anonymous functions usually work like

I'm using flask and flask-security to handle my user registration and login. However I want to test my chatroom but I can't. Because in one tab I'll log into account1 and another tab I'll try to log into account2. But it'll just log account1 out and both tabs will be logged into account2.
I've tried using private browsers but this also doesn't work. This seems like some sort of cookie issue or some config I can turn off but I'm not sure how. Any advice would be awesome.

is there a good book that deals with es6?
i wanna get into webdev and might as well learn es6 right away.
i heard good things about eloquent javascript but it seems that its starting to get outdated a bit.

I thought a web dev job would make me feel better.

I wasnt excited when I got the job even though I make double what I did. I've wanted to do this since I was young. In a way it made me worse. Knowing that the one thing I was sure that would lift me hasn't done anything at all.

This is probably what a midlife crisis is. Harder with no friends and no gf.

Coming from someone who's ahead of you, if you dived into Eloquent Js and programming instead of looking for a better learning source, you'd realize how dumb that question sounds.

There's no golden ticket in life or programming. Expect to learn from multiple sources. The best you can ask for is a solid source, and Eloquent Js is it.

I'd even recommend taking a step back and doing Udacity's CS101 (which is in Python) before moving to Eloquent Js. You're going to have to learn to enjoy the jouney. CS101 is a lot easier to consume than any book, and you're writing code most of the time.

Webassembly is a replacement for Javascript. You still have to learn HTML and CSS.

Basically Javascript has some web stuff built into the language by default, like things for interfacing with the DOM and some HTML related stuff. I'm not exactly sure how WebAssembly works, but I think it basically adds some interfaces or whatever to the language you're using, so you can accomplish the same things you'd be able to in JS.

And your language is compiled to a bytecode format which is sent to the client, and can be read by the browser's WebAssembly VM, which basically replaces the JS engine.

this is how the pros do it right?

>>59329175
Reading the docs is probably the way to go. I did the Codecademy tutorial when learning Angular, and it was pretty bad. After finishing it, I still didn't really have any idea of what I was doing.

After that, I went through the example project directly from Angular's site, and I had at least some idea of what I was doing, since I actually wrote the boilerplate code and everything myself, even if I was just copying verbatim.

At that point I was able to start my own project, and look at the docs for whatever I didn't know or didn't fully understand.

Anyways t. for the feedback.

I don't frequent /wdg/ much but do many people here use React? What about Vue? And my pet favorite, cyclejs?

Chrome incognito shares one set of cookies across all its tabs/windows. They're cleared when all incognito tabs are closed.

With normal browsing + incognito/private mode, you can have up to 2 users per browser, and can have multiple browsers running.

If you need a lot, you can essentially open a bunch of empty chromium browser instances with Electron (or there might be a way without electron). I don't think those share cookies, but I'm not sure.

If you're interested in automated testing, check out Selenium.

Personally, I don't trust any JS frameworks or addons or anything. Everything tells you to also use this, and this, and that, so I tend to just write everything from scratch.

kek
will read

btw i have experience with multiple langs and have made fullstack websites before without frameworks... but they were all very shitty. so i am hoping a framework will give me the structure i need to make a more complex site with CRUD features. currently planning on learning react for front-end + RoR for backend.

>>59329561
also,
>I tend to just write everything from scratch.
the purpose of many of these frameworks and tools is to save you the time that starting from scratch takes. for example yo, i want to get good with yo (i've gone through its tutorials before and didn't learn anything). same thing with gulp (i chose that over grunt)

Let's say you have a website with 5 pages. Is it possible to have all pages load at once so there is no delay after you click page links.

Maybe not all the pages at once, but a staggered load, where the first page is loaded and the rest are being loaded while the user is reading the first page.

That would be GOAT UX for text heavy sites imo

How do your employees feel about wasting their time?

>Learning Javascript

Fuck that, learn a real language or two, I'd recommend one object oriented like C# or Java and one Functional like Haskell. Then just spend a day or two learning the JS syntax, then use whatever meme framework is hip right now. The issue with web development is that there's no real consensus on how shit should work, framewoks like Angular2 centralize this while also following widely used and tested patterns, it's nice and easy and you don't have to worry about your shit breaking on every new iteration of Javascript with whatever "brand new" feature they stole from other languages. Also use Typescript.

>>59329561
Alright finished the article. Liked it so much I retweeted it. I already knew at least 80% of what was in the article too, so that's good.

>>59329704
I'm not the guy you're replying to. I'm the guy he's replying to. But -

My last job was working as a programming instructor. I taught people how to program for their 1st time using Javascript. And while I was being paid to do that, my Javascript skills increased a lot. And you know what? I can get a lot done in Javascript now. I don't think it's a meme language and I think it's plenty powerful. I haven't run into any problems I couldn't do for lack of power or tools in the JS language.

Please tell me a task I need a functional language like Haskell for. If you're going to go for the pure functional allows e z multithreading argument, I'll give you that.

>>59329654
That's probably a good idea. I've heard good things about react, and RoR is good.

>>59329666
My negative attitude towards JS frameworks and addons started with JQuery. It became so ubiquitous that 90% of JS stackoverflow questions have solutions in JQuery, when the pure JS (or even CSS) answer is just as easy or easier.

I think using a framework like React or Angular or similar is a good idea you have a large scale web app, but I don't know about using things on top of that. You end up with bloat: overhead for downloading a ton of JS, and then overhead for running anything because more stuff is executed and parsed.

I'm more ok with things on the backend, like gulp and stuff like that, for automated the deployment of your site, especially if you want to minify your CSS and JS, or if you compile something else into JS. Backend stuff doesn't affect the end user so much, so I'm ok with the idea of it.

>>59329704
Did you read the article? It didn't really even mention JS syntax. It was about the vast multitude of frameworks available for the language, and how it's overwhelming for a beginner. Also it sounds like you don't really use JS that much. There are specifications for "how shit should work", and they pretty much ensure that old Javascript doesn't break when new features are added.

And I don't have any employees that I know of, but thanks for your concern.

What do you guys think of w3schools? is it a good place for learning web development

>>59329965
It's ok for looking up terminology or standards. MDN (Mozilla Developer Network) is better though.

In terms of learning HTML/CSS/JS, you might be better off somewhere else.

>>59329895
>90% of JS stackoverflow questions have solutions in JQuery,
This irks me too

>>59329895
Your negative attitude towards framewoks seems to be very high level and shallow. Yes traversing the DOM and animating elements is relatively easy in vanilla JS and CSS but that isn't really the point of using a library or framework. A good framework provides you maintainability, scalability and a set of standardized design patterns built into it so that your team of 10+ programmers can be on the same page. All the bigger sites out there either use a framework(s) or have created their own. They're basically needed if you don't want to make the development process a living nightmare.

What with the wealth of other options, I don't think you should be going to either of those unless it's from a google search.

Udacity, FreeCodeCamp, EloquentJs and you're good to start building imo.

Floating point numbers are fun.

Hey, started to learn react/redux, and the transition between raw CSS/JS/HTML has been a little difficult, my main problem is setting up the environment.

I've read about webpack and npm and i can set up a very, very basic react environment, however at each new tool i add the complexity grows quite a bit. Any tutorial you guys would recommend?

I know there are a lot of boilerplates around, however i'd rather learn each tool before moving on to the next, installing a bunch of tools with create-react-app isn't really what i'm looking for.

Remember, my problem isn't to set up basic react+redux+webpack environment, i can make that from scratch, the problem is when i have to add more tools to this setup, automatic sass processing, ESLint, etc..

>>59331228
It's not javascript's fault desu, you will get very similar results in C. Floating point numbers aren't a 1:1 representation of our number system, they have a limited precision and at some point they always break eventually.

Technically floats and ints share the same limitations of being a 1:1 representation of only what they can represent (as does all data) and you could say that "at some point ints break eventually" (overflow/underflow). The real problems with floats is twofold:
1: That they don't have a closed algebraic system. In other words (float1 + float2) is not guaranteed to be a number representable by a float. And so you get rounding errors that can aggregate and become a real issue.
2: Conversion between the decimal format for different based numbers can turn a finite-length written decimal into an infinite length one, requiring unintuitive rounding for what looks to us like simple numbers..

And frankly 99% of the time we use floats, a rational number system would have made more sense, but that's technology for you.

I am a very fresh /wd/ and i cant even get php to work properly.

as i understand it, the php include function should work as long as you have a .html file with the tag <?php include "includedstuff.php"; ?> and a .php file with some html tags in the php document, right?

The problem i have is that the <?php tag doesn't work in the main html file.

Yes, i'm doing this all on a server and not on the client. Anyone help is appreciated

>>59332651
. Html is not php file so PHP doesn't work there.

But when i changed the main html file that displays my website it just becomes plain text. should all my files that uses php be .php instead of what?

i have <html> tags and alltså !doctype html in my html file.

I've tried loads of stuff but nothing seems to work

rate my fizzbuzz

_.join(_.times(20, (i) => i).map((i) => {
            var fizz = i % 3 === 0 && "Fizz" || undefined, 
                 buzz = i % 5 === 0 && "Buzz" || undefined,
                 num = fizz || buzz ? undefined : i;
            return _.join([fizz,buzz,num], " ");
        }), ", ");

PHP is a server side scripting language, meaning you need PHP installed along with a web server to route PHP pages to be executed and rendered in to HTML code.

Look in to WAMP, MAMP, and XAMPP. They're easy ways to get in to setting up web servers on your PC
