second for php

>>59840446
What language should I learn first if I want to become a webdev? Apart from php, js, html and css.

Or should i just board the framework boat?

>>59841549
What's your goal? Work for someone?

>>59841549
What kind of job do you want?
High pay, less stable, less predictable, more learning?
Medium pay, mildly consistent, somewhat predictable, some regular learning?
Lower pay, most consistent, most predictable, least learning?

>>59841549

Short answer:
Check your local job searches for developpers.
It doesn't really matter that much t.b.h., start somewhere.

Long answer:
>js, html and css
Mandatory.

Then it depends:

>Node + React + React
If you really like JS and have a funky hair cut.

>php
If you want to go full LAMP stack (which is not a bad option IMHO).

>Ruby or Python
If you don't like php.

>Go
If you want to ride the latest hype train and finally want to come out of your closet.

>Java
If you want particularly long working days but get slightly more money.

>>59840446
I need help with HTML. Nowadays there are thousands of different frameworks, multiple browsers that thinks their implementation of rendering HTML is correct, and the introduction of HTML5 meant so many new stuff that it's almost hard to follow.

And since mobile is getting more and more popular there is a need to deal with responsive design.

It used to be so simple, where standards are followed by all browsers, and things just work. What happened?

>>59841872
>It used to be so simple, where standards are followed by all browsers
like when

>>59841872

>It used to be so simple, where standards are followed by all browsers

What am I reading here?
It exactly the other way arround..

15 years ago you had to try out half a dozen differnt browsers, you had the whole "w3c vs. whatwg" competition going on..

Today most things work for most browsers, even that terrible microshill thingy is finally capable to not crash things into oblivion.
Responsive webdesign is a breeze, even if you are not using the de facto standard (Bootstrap) there's so many small and nice libraries for that.

If you care about the somplete HTML5 stuff you are doing it wrong. Nobdy cares about some obscure features nobody wants, but the core of HTML5 works pretty well in every reasonable browser.

I know i will get a lot of shit for this question but ill shoot anyway

So i have an idea for website. Its really simple - you upload a pic, it is stored in a DB and later you get feedback o. It.

What would be thr easiest/best way to achieve this?

Catch is i have 0 experience in webdev but i am willing to learn and build it myself from scratch.

What lang/framework should i use?

I am currently a unix admin, so maybe python/django would be the best way to go?

Appreciate all answers

>>59842023
Stop trying to treat it as anything more than a stylesheet~~~

>>59841995
just learn basic web technologies like html css js, then pick a web framework for the backend based on whatever language you're allready proficient with so you don't have to learn everything from scratch
also learn how to manage databases and sql if you don't already know

>>59841995

Webdev is the art of knowing 100 pieces, that are simple in themselves, but difficult because there are many things to know.

Yes, Python, Ruby or PHP might be a good start, since there are frameworks that keep a lot of the difficult stuff away from you.

But it won't be easy as first project, maybe consider a simple site first to get a rough idea.

Most volatile are going to be working for startups, free-lance, and other places with lower job security. This would be using trendier and newer prototyping tools as well as older ones listed in later categories. I'd put React, Angular, Vue, Azure/AWS, GoLang into this category. Additionally one would have the ability to be adaptable in any project, ready to learn to use and leverage the advantages of a technology within 2 weeks of a project's start. Confidence is also a large part of being in this category, confidence in one's abilities and confidence in one's own risk tolerance.

>Medium
Medium will work for places with slightly more job security: consulting firms, contracting firms, larger startups with VC funding. Tech includes the following plus those listed in the next category: AngularJS/Ember/or Backbone, Ruby, MEAN Stack™, LESS/SASS, task runners like Gulp and Grunt, knowledge of how to leverage a common IDE like VS to use things like TFS or Git, basic knowledge of a content management system like Wordpress.

>Low
Low will work for consulting firms or contracting agencies with long-term (possibly government) contracts or at a larger business with a large development team. Back-end languages are king here: C#, .NET, Java, Python. Front-end tools will be the most stable and well established: jQuery, vanilla javascript, functional programming libraries like lodash/underscore. Databases are also king so SQL, basic database viewing tools, and basic understanding of database normalization are absolute musts.

just curious what are the most common things you need to know to do unix-like system administration. it's my dream job.

you're going to need to know html/css and either python/django or PHP for what you're trying to make. for the database if you use something that uses SQL you should know a little bit about that but also you might need to know how relational databases actually work. IMO there's a huge meme about PHP being a shit language but they work hard to make it extremely compatible with MySQL.

you don't need to be an expert on any of these topics and you can really just learn as you go, i learned enough html+css, PHP, and SQL to be able to make a dynamic website that can store and retrieve database info in about 3 months of casual learning.

I don't understand why everyone shits on React. Coming from a traditional language background, working with ES6 + React was what finally made Javascript bearable.
Most available JS code (including tutorials) is completely unstructured and unreadable. Especially anything corrupted by JQuery's touch of shit. A more traditional approach to modularity is a huge improvement imo.

>>59842851
>I don't understand

>>59842802
Thanks for great reply! Any resources you could point me to just how do i start building a website from scratch?

For unix admin i actually didnt need much, but i am working as junior admin still. Well you need to know mostly basics how fo navigate in linux but what you need more knowledge in is network basics and storage technologies basics.

>>59842802
Depending on how much you know about writing markup and scripting, Codecademy has tutorials for HTML, CSS, PHP, and SQL. If you want YouTube videos thenewboston has tutorials on all of those topics too. W3Schools has good readings on all of these topics as well and I often use them to get quick references if I forget how to do something. One textbook I read for the server-side scripting, database management and querying was "PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites" fourth edition by Larry Ullman. You can probably find a free copy somewhere.

If you've done any work with programming or scripting before it should be a breeze.

Good Luck. If you wan't to be a bro and refer me to some resources for unix sysadmin that'd be cool. I've been using debian for about a year now and im comfortable navigating and using the terminal as well as writing simple bash scripts, editing grub and fstab, automating backups, etc. if that helps you gauge where I'm at.

is there a better way of chaining events/functions?

function wordObjArrMaker(sentence) {
    console.log(sentence);
    let text = sentence.text;
    let split = sentenceSplitter(text);
    let etyObjArr = addEtymology(split);
    let wnObjArr = addWn(etyObjArr);

    return wnObjArr;
}

>>59843002
I meant to reply to your comment with this >>59843219

>>59843230
add your methods as prototype to the type you get and transform to and and then do it like

return sentence.text
        .mySentenceSplitter()
        .myAddEtymology()
        .myAddWn();

All memes aside

Nodejs or PHP?

>>59843536
Whatever you're more comfortable with/what suits the project best.

Anyone here working with incompetent partners or team members? A guy I'm working with does everything in the most retarded way.

He loads two different versions of jQuery then gets confused when there are compatibility issues. He even fucks up basic Bootstrap syntax in favor of his own hacky bullshit. I secretly despise him.

>Nodejs or PHP?

It depends on your assumptions about the server.

If you do not have administrative control of the server (for example, if it's a shared hosting account), then a node.js app is usually not feasible to deploy. PHP is more universally deployable.

A node.js web app requires the user to run a daemon continuously 24/7 to listen to the web port (usually port 80). But PHP code only runs whenever a HTTP request is received, so it doesn't require a daemon of its own -- Apache or Nginx takes care of running the daemon.

You can see this if you research shared hosting accounts. Pretty much 100% of them will offer PHP, but offering node.js is much less common.

None of this is a problem if you happen to know for a fact that everyone who will deploy the app will have full administrative control of the server. In that case, you select node.js vs PHP based on the merits of the language and/or library.

>>59843695

>>59843764
>>59843695
You should be at least 18 years old prior to posting.

>>59844027
why do people still use share hosting when you can get a small vps for under 5$/m and do whatever you want with it
is it just so they don't have to handle the server administration part ?

>>59843622
No, which means I'm probably that guy.

This place has methods for every possible thing so anything I write is sent back with "Use the x method".

I rarely get to code. Everything is copy and paste for the most part. Sad life. Still pays double what my old job did so oh well.

Can anyone explain to me how webdevs test their stuff? Like how does one test emailing or subscription systems for example

How do I use variables from another functions without declaring them as global from outside of the function?

Probably a dumb question but google isn't helping.

>>59844261
you don't.
what are you trying to do?

>>59844216
For emailing, you send emails to yourself. For subscriptions, you give yourself the subscription and if you need to test expiration, you set the expire date to a past date.

>>59843622
Ah I see you've inherited my ex-colleague.
Say hello for me.

>>59844288
I have a function that creates a random value and stores it in a variable. Which is all in .onclick function so every time I click the DOM element it will create a new value.

 
  function game() {

  var gameChoice = Math.floor(Math.random() * colors.length);
  gameArr.push(gameChoice);

  console.log(gameArr);
}

If I try create the random value outside of the function the value will be randomly generate and stored only once and then there will be no new values. So the array will just output [1, 1, 1, 1, 1....].

>>59844261
If you're using one variable across multiple functions, you should put all the functions into a single scope (if we're talking about javascript, of course).

>>59844410
post a jsfiddle, I don't understand what you're trying to do.

>>59843622
>He even fucks up basic Bootstrap syntax in favor of his own hacky bullshit.
Why do people do this? I just don't get it. Here's a tool that makes 99.9% of things so much easier. But no, let's fuck all of it up because someone can't read basic documentation. jfc the shit that is tolerated in this industry

>>59844417
>>59844467
Actually I might've just figured it out. I forgot I'm storing my random values into a global array and I can just go from there. Thanks!

>>59844410
just make your onclick call this function, have function return your value, do whatever with value

>>59844174
>is it just so they don't have to handle the server administration part ?

You got it.

Shared hosting is for people whose skills are limited to: (1) uploading the PHP code via FTP, (2) unzipping it, and (3) reading the "README" file to figure out how to configure it with the right MySQL password.

The problem with VPS is that it often requires a certain breadth and depth of understanding to know how to solve problems. For example, on my last VPS, I had to do my own installs of PHP and MySQL, to get the versions that were compatible with my app. Obviously, it was a simple "apt-get", but I also needed to know that since my repository didn't have the right version of PHP, I had to set up a 3rd-party ppa to get PHP7 instead. After that, I had to do a little tweaking on file permissions in /var/www. Each problem like that has a straightforward solution, but if you sum up all the problems you're likely to encounter on a VPS, it can actually require a lot of experience to navigate them all without thinking that you've gotten yourself in over your head.

.post(function(req, res) {
    let wordObjArr = wordObjArrMaker(req.body);
    res.json(wordObjArr);
});

wordObjArrMaker is a function that involves using promises to fetch data from an api and update an array. by defining wordObjArr as a variable, does that mean that all the promises have to fulfill before res.json sends it off? Because currently res.json is sending an array with null values

>>59845101
no, res.json will execute immediately.
if wordObjArrMaker returns a promise then you have to await it.

Anyone ever work with d3js?
Are there any prebuilt graphs you can do with it? Like, if I supply a dataset, can it graph an XY bar/line graph? If not, is there some alternative library that would be able to do that for me?

hot tip: document.all gains a new life with object destructuring

document.getElementById("itemName").value = item.name;
document.getElementById("itemEnabled").checked = item.enabled;

const {itemName, itemEnabled} = document.all;
itemName.value = item.name;
itemEnabled.checked = item.enabled;

it works with <form>.elements and <fieldset>.elements too

Include them in your `package.json`, and gitignore the node_modules folder.

>>59845612
but document.all is non-standard and deprecated.

>>59845761
>Is it better to host it on my server or use a cdn for it?
i would host it, just make sure you use minified versions
a cdn might make pages load faster for users on other continents but whatever

>should I include those libaries?
if you use a package manager just include the config file that tells defines what libraries to donwlod, otherwise include them so people don't have to dl the right version and rename the files themselves

>>59845831
i just tried it in {chrome, firefox, edge} and it worked

that's standard and non-deprecated enough for me

>>59845839
I will host them, it's less of a hassle. Minified versions already in use.

It's a PHP project that only uses jQuery for some front-end stuff. So I'll include it probably.

>>59846055
You should only really use mongoDB if
a.) You have to deal with humongous amounts of data and
b.) You don't need relational model.

>>59846263
Does a couple of things. Introduces types to javascript so that you can have your intellisense correct your typing mistakes. It also can serve as a pollyfill for ES6 stuff. So you can program with ES6 but it will transpile to something that will run on Explorer 9.

What can /g/ recommend if I'm looking for a web host that provides:

1.) Fully managed servers
2.) Support for several languages (PHP, Node, Erlang, Clojure and possibly more)
3.) Good performance (able to handle lots of traffic if need be, fast servers)

var someVar = '';
function func() {
  someVar = 'foo';

function anotherFunc() {
  someVar = 'bar';
}

General question -

For web dev, how advanced did you think your math skills needed to be? Did you have to sharpen your math skills to progress?

>>59844261

//closures
var logNum, incNum;
function func() {
  var num = 1;
  logNum = function() {console.log(num)}
  incNum = function() {num++}
}
func();
incNum();
logNum();
var oldLog = logNum();
oldLog();

>Did you have to sharpen your math skills to progress?

I work for a 400+ employee company in the bay area and I dropped out of high school. I don't think I could solve an Algebra-II level problem on paper.

I personally don't think you *need* much math skills to do web development, but that probably depends on where you want to specialize. For example, you would probably want more solid math skills if you were looking into positions that require data visualization or deal with maps or some shit.

But getting better at math won't hurt, what will really improve you as a programmer is studying stuff like algorithms, compilers, etc.

>>59853252
No. You really shouldn't need any crazy math unless you're working on extremely advanced, low-level shit. Data science, machine learning and AI are obvious fields that would require an extensive background in math.

>>59853408
>>59853383

This is comforting to know. I'm working on getting an AA in general studies right now and had the option to pick any 2 math classes offered to finish. I'm just a little nervous.

I took a Java class in high school and it literally made me feel like a retarded piece of shit even though I aced all my other classes. I've been scared to touch programming after that but I'm interested in getting a bachelors in CS

>>59853436

I think CS is a good direction to head into if you're interested in software/hardware engineering. CS programs are pretty math heavy tho.

I'm a bit of a novice here
I use a script called context.js that adds custom entries to the right click menu in dwb web browser.
I'm trying to find a way to use the url of the current webpage in the script.
You can use the link being clicked with "contextUri" and seperate .sh scripts that are key bound can use the current url with $DWB_URI but this variable doesn't seem to be available to the .js scripts
Is there an obvious way to have something akin to $DWB_URI like "pageUri" in context.js?

examples: https://pastebin.com/5gLyEHY8

I'm writing a shell script I want to launch on a link from context.js but the script needs the current page url.

Literally only retards claim so. jpg and png have very different applications, especially in web dev. Just hit up your local search engine and look for application differences between the two so you know when to use one over the other.

i find it useful but i hate it

working with dom stuff is a pain

you have to cast results from document.querySelector and friends unless you're fine with them being just (HTML)Element

the type definitions aren't always correct or updated (the format they use to generate the dom type declarations is undocumented so good luck contributing to them after signing the CLA of course)

the types for xml documents and elements are broken as a way of "fixing" html ones

>theyre faster
wow great job saving that fraction of a millisecond

i used to be into pointless micro-optimizations too until i realized it doesn't fucking matter and started focusing on readability instead

micro-optimizations !== optimizations

thinking about the performance of different conditional/loop styles is a waste of time

fixing your program's logic is what you should be doing for optimization

>>59857817

Youre retarded. Those fractions of a millisecond add up. Do you realize every single day people are working on something to get x job done (((faster)))? Why do you think Big O notation is important?

They really don't.

>>59857974

You're missing the point.
"PREMATURE optimizations is the root of all evil".

First you build something, then you tackle the bottlenecks until it runs reasonably fast.


If your network slows you down 100x, there's no use in fiddling with minor syntax issues beacuse "muh prescious CPU cycles".

IF you found out your bottleneck really is a certain function AND you really need to optimize the shit out of it AND you've tried your best with differnt libraries AND you've done all you can in terms of refactoring/rewriting the code, finding different algorithms and so on.. THEN you might think about nonsense like CPU cycles of switch vs. nested if statements..

>>59858087

Let me get you started with everything you need to know about html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title of the document (Goes in the tab of browser)</title>

Import your javascript
<script src="path/to.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Import your css
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to.cs">
</head>

<body>
Content of the document......
</body>

</html>

<div>

: this is an element, the div element.

<div class="my-class-name another-class-name">

: this is a div element with a class attribute

Bam, you now know html

>>59858817
Now let's learn you everything you need to know about css
http://getbootstrap.org

Here's a css library you can use (that everyone uses). You shouldn't have to touch any css as long as you don't want anything crazy custom. Just use their classes and examples

To include it into your project, just download it and on your line where you said this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to.cs">

just link "path/to.cs" to "bootstrap.css" like this

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/somewhere/bootstrap.css">

 

If you really want to write your own styles, make a file with a .css extension and link it into your html like you did with bootstrap.css. You'll include it just below your bootstrap import so it will look like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/somewhere/bootstrap.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/somewhere/myCustomSheet.css">
 

In that file you can define your own custom classes like this:
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_classes.asp

But I recommend you touch CSS as little as possible because no one understands it, it's not intuitive, and it's absolutely disgusting to work with. Just use Bootstrap, they've figured out all browser compatibility issues, handled how it scales on different screen sizes, and it has everything you need.

Bam, you now know css

i have a finished game written in js, but im gonna migrate from a shitty console ui to a react based one
how do i integrate existing components into react?
would the following work and update correctly whenever something inside the game instance changes? (i.e. health changes or something)

{
    constructor(game: Game)
    {
        this.state = {
            game = game;
        }
    }

Now JS/PHP is the tricky one. The other two are trivial, don't even put them on your resume because it's something that can be understood in 10 seconds. Whether you focus more on PHP or JS is determined by what kind of application you want to make, what kind of job you want. You want more job security or more pay?

Hello friends, I'm kind of a newfag here, mostly /v/ and /tv/. I've been learning code by myself for about 6-8 months, using the OP's websites and some books I've bought.

I think I've got a decent handle on Java, python, and a little bit of azure (a friend of mine lent me a book). I think I'm alright at it. However, I didn't go into post-secondary for programming or any sort of computer related topics. My degree is in philosophy and math.

If I wanted to work in some facet of programming or computers, with my limited knowledge, and having no certification that proves I'm capable other than my word, how likely would I be to get hired? Should I just give up on this venture?

>>59860152
Just create an online portfolio with all of your sites/programs and whatever else you think an employer might care about and use that. It's that simple really. A degree or certification helps though.

>>59860049
i prefer foundation so maybe give that a shot if you're still interested

>>59860171
Yeah, this is kind of what I feared. As my brother went into architecture for his post-secondary, he had to prepare a portfolio as well.

But the issue is, I don't really have any sort of testimonials or significant programs/sites that I could put in. All I have is my girlfriend and 2 of her friend's tumblrs, a couple of programs I shared on a vidja emulator forum a while back to help some guy get some grinding done,. I don't really have any sort of opportunity to show my experience or lack there-of. I'd be gladly willing to do some stuff but I wouldn't even know where to look.

anyone know how to send plain text to a server via raw javascript/ajax POST request?

>>59860281
You don't have to work on actual things for real people to include it in your portfolio.

I am a front-end web designer. My online portfolio itself was something they could judge me by. I also included some sites I had created for fake businesses, and even redesigned some already existing popular sites.

You don't have to actually be paid by someone for an interviewer to think your work is good. Pick one thing you want to get really good at, get good at it, then come up with ways to showcase that talent in a relevant manner, be it mock sites or whatever.

>>59860308

This is discussed literally 10 posts or so back. Scroll up a bit.

>>59860333
damn. I'm retarded. This seemed so logical but I didn't even arrive at it. Do you know what certifications I could get? I'm not really too interested in going back into school, maybe a CC but that's as far as it goes. I live in NA if that makes it any easier.

im getting

 A non well formed numeric value encountered

        $this->OLD_BIT_RATE %=1000;

Value of $OLD_BIT_RATE is something like 1011146

I don't know dude, I have literally zero idea what you are interested in. Just go on Google and search "[what job you want] certification" and see what you find.

>>59860337

when i try to post the data tho nothing shows up is it because its not part of a form?

>>59860337

ya this doesnt answer my question at all its just a variable that sores a number i want to send to the server then store that in a php variable. None of the above code works

anyone know how to pass a javascript variable through a function and send it to the server to use server side through a ajax POST request with raw javascript?

>>59860997
i think i found the bug:

you're sending it to php as "itemId" but checking "id" in php

>>59861095
stop spamming retard

>>59861095

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', 'target');
xhr.send('faggot');

>>59861109

still didnt work

>>59861309
i promise it'll work now if you put this after xmlhttp.open:

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

it's required when POSTing data in the "key=value" format

i hate how hard to remember it is and i have to google "form urlencoded content type" every time

>>59861438

nah man still doesnt work ive tried everything

function deleteCurrentItem(id)
{
    var str = "itemId=" + encodeURIComponent(id);
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
    {
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    }
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function()
    {
        if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200)
        {
            successMessage("Item deleted successfully.");
            //load current data
        }
        else if (this.status == 404)
        {
            errorMessage("Could not delete this item. Contact Chris.");
        }
    }
    xmlhttp.open("POST", "deleteItem.php?itemId=" + str, true);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xmlhttp.send(str);
}

then in my php file i have

    $itemId = $_POST['itemId'];
    echo $itemId;

doesnt echo anything. Is this even possible

>>59861438

this does nothing since the data isnt coming from a form

>>59861508
>doesnt echo anything
it echoes it to the response of

xmlhttp

you can check

xmlhttp.responseText

in the

//load current data

part

I'm trying to build up a backend web dev portfolio. What kind of personal projects are noteworthy enough to go on that?

Right now I'm thinking of a site that takes a youtube video url and gives you a download of the audio. Is it ok to use a library off github to do that, or should I make my own library? Because I've tried to make my own library of it and I ran into problems on a lack on understanding youtube's internal api.

>>59861508
it works, seems like you fucked up somewhere else.

>>59861575
>im going straight to the url it should display the variable
navigating to deleteItem.php (like from a link or typing it in the address bar) sends a new GET request without any data, and displays whatever that php file echoes as a webpage

submitting a form like <form method="POST" action="something.php"> sends a new POST request (with data from form inputs) to the php script, and displays whatever that php file echoes as a webpage

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form

what do you want to do with the output from deleteItem.php?

>>59861642
>>59861673

it works now thanks a lot. When i tried to print_r it said there was just an empty array, but then i tried biding to to my query and the query worked fine. So $itemId = $_POST['itemId'] really is getting the id thats passed through the function. I just couldn't tell it was there....

fuck. That was confusing

>>59861673

i was just trying to output the $itemId variable to make sure the server was getting it. All deleteItem.php does it bind the $itemId variable in a pdo query

>>59861766

also i didnt need to change the URL. It still works if i just have "deleteItem.php". No need for the "?itemId=" + str.

Final working code:

function deleteCurrentItem(id)
{
    var str = "itemId=" + encodeURIComponent(id);
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
    {
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    }
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function()
    {
        if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200)
        {
            successMessage("Item deleted successfully.");
        }
        else if (this.status == 404)
        {
            errorMessage("Could not delete this item. Contact Chris.");
        }
    }
    xmlhttp.open("POST", "deleteItem.php", true);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xmlhttp.send(str);
}

why are you checking for xmlhttprequest existence, but not providing an alternative if it doesn't?
if it doesn't exist it'll fail regardless.

>>59860425
>>59860473

You just build the data that you want to send, post the data using XMLHttpRequest and pick it up via $_POST.

skipping the check for xmlhttprequest is fine unless you're going to run it on museum computers

Look, here's a fiddle with some stuff: https://jsfiddle.net/dp0coLa3

That POST request is being received happily.

Ah, okay. Just as an aside, if you're willing to jQuery you can serialize a form easily with $('form').serialize( );

It's ubiquitous and has the potential to be very expressive, provided you avoid the shitty aspects of it.

Is Jquery shit and not worth learning in 201x?

I underbid on a project that was way too much for me at the time and I was unprepared for. I went in like an idiot because I needed the money, but trying to build something from scratch with little to no help was a fucking stupid idea.. It's a "Kickstarter/Shark Tank" but for small to medium sized businesses. and trying to do everything on my own just bit me in the ass, especially for $1500 total. I've been working on it since November last year, and frankly, I don't have the patience or dedication for the last $200 since the guy asked to incorporate PayPal Express Checkout when I've already incorporated Stripe throwing everything out of whack. It didn't help that I got no real input on what to do and how to design things unless it was an obvious fuckup on my part. If I went back in the past, I would probably have picked something way smaller as a starting project or just worked Help Desk. I learned a shit-load of Python though, so it wasn't all a massive fuckup. All I know is that I pray to something that I can get this Junior position, otherwise, the last year was a total waste of everyone's time and effort.

I love it. it's very powerful and allows for a lot of really cool shit. The data model driving the pages is amazing when done correctly.

The upgrade from Angular to Angular 2 involves relearning a lot of shit because they use typescript which is also pretty damn cool and useful. Though I am a rookie so I get hung up on basic shit like Observables, maps, filters, subscriptions and other shit.

I want to use the github API to embed some stuff from my repo as plain text on my website. If I update the repo, I don't want to have to change the code in two places, so no gist embeds.

It looks like I can only display things from my repo 60 times per hour before hitting the API limit. This is pretty low, but if I do it authenticatedly, I can do it 5,000 times per hour.

I've only done front end work so far + made 1 practice API with node/express. So I've been reading up on how to make a back end that can:

1) schedule a cron job to every several minutes authenticatedly use the GitHub API to get and cache the relevant files from my repo
2) store them somehow (Redis? Plain js? Database?)
2) build an API to let my page getJSON the text into a div from the cached store


When I deploy this, can I just put the plain node.js files and etc on heroku or AWS or something or are there some security steps I need to take? Do I need to do something to make sure the cron job is "on" all the time? If my cache happens to be updating when I getJSON will it crash/go crazy?

pls halp

Seems like theres a cleaner way of doing this.

If something works in Codepen, but when you insert the specific elements into your full HTML/CSS files it stops working, what does that usually indicate?
