What would CSS choose to apply if there was:

//Author:
div { color:blue }
p { color:green;
font-size:smaller !important }
.hmm { color: fuchsia }

//User
p { color:white;
background-color:black;
font-size:larger !important }
body { color:yellow }

//User agent:
body { color:black }

Would the color be fuchsia because Author takes the highest precedence here?

If User were to have .hmm{color: fuchsia} instead of Author, would that be used because it was more specific or would Author still override it?

I don't know what takes precedence: Order or Specificity.

first for {{ generic anime girl }}

why not just self host shit for portfolio and resume and such

>>60292310
Is this some special type of CSS? I dont know why youre blocking it like that when any nornal person would wrap thr content with a div and change the class of thay div depending on what you want.

I'm seriously considering doing a bootcamp with Thinkful.

They have a money back guarantee if you meet their milestones and are flaunting a "93%" placement rate into a job within 6 months of graduating, and they also pro-rate your tuition if you finish ahead of schedule.

It is designed for complete beginners which makes me a but uncomfortable because I don't want to be paying to video conference with some hipster who is going to try to make writing a responsive layout seem like extremely valuable information that you can't find for free.

I feel like you are really paying for the interview/job search/networking value of the program, which I am also unsure if it is worth paying for..

I know a lot of people are going to tell me I could do it for free, but I have literally been hoarding information and courses/free bootcamps for the past few years and I can't seem to light a fire under my ass to get shit done. I'm spinning my wheels going from odd job to odd job atm and it really blows.

if you have IQ above 130, get yourself some books on HTML, CSS, and Javascript. learn anything else online. dont listen to the cunts that will tell you books are unnecessary, you need them for the 3 things i listed which are the very basics. they are written by actual professionals who are masters at the field and have degrees in teaching. unlike retards like bucky from youtube who have no idea how to organize a lesson or to write an understandable example.

anyway, if you have less than 130 IQ then im sure those guys at thinkful will be perfect.

>>60295151

>>60295151
>>60295185

Yeah man. I test around 120-130 which honestly is overkill for fucking web development, my friend. I feel someone with an IQ of 108 could be a fully competent web dev, IF they have the motivation and discipline to put in the time.

I was honor roll in highschool, dual enrolled in college and had nearly 100% tuition covered by a scholarship.

Self determination is a bitch when you are in a rut, doing pointless part time jobs and just want to fucking shitpost and read when you have free time.

Would working through bento/odinproject/freecodecamp and making a few projects, with everything hosted on GIT, really be enough to get a job?

As nice as the guaranteed job placement/interview prep/networking sounds, I also cringe at the cost of these 6-8month bootcamps..

>Would working through bento/odinproject/freecodecamp and making a few projects, with everything hosted on GIT, really be enough to get a job?
If you are willing to take a lot of shit and make little money to get your foot in the door, you can absolutely do it on your own. If you have no discipline, you're going to have a rough time. Step 1 is to treat it like a day job. Until you can legitimately put in 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, you should look at it as a non-starter. If you can do that, and if you'll relocate and take low pay, you can get a job after a few months, and that will be a springboard to the 'real' jobs.

Not unless you do web development in Java. Java requires 100 levels of abstraction on top of another 1000, so it takes someone with an IQ of 800+ to figure all of that shit out.

I have an idea for a web app, and only know basic HTML/CSS. I know basic JS won't be enough, so my question is, is there a recommended way to learn react/flux without having to go through JS.

I know its generally said you should get a base in JS first, but its only for 1 app so I want to keep learning time down.

>>60296715

whats the best framework for a simple static site with multiple pages? as in i dont want to have to create abunch of whatever.html pages, i want the routing thing where i say "/contact" loads some html, etc

>>60299920
React or Vue

>>60299812
they fulfill the same role, so no. If you have Python, do a bit of HTML/CSS/JS, basic SQL just to get an idea of what it is, and then pick a framework to go with Python: your main options are Django and Flask. Then hit Shift+F10 and watch the money roll in!

I'm trying to update a json file with thousands of entries by making calls to an api server, but I'm getting a lot of timeouts back from the server, so I assume I'm spamming it. How should I stagger the requests? settimeout? node.js btw

Get off your ass and learn something new. javascript rots your brain.

if you don't async your app, you're literally shitting on the next person's request. Think of how you treat your clients.

>>60302093
the api server isn't mine - wordnik, I'm just trying to scrape it to update my local json file to run my app off of. how would you go about making thousands of requests to an api without overloading it?

Please tell me learning JavaScript gets easier.. I spent the last 3 months learning lots of html and CSS and getting confident in it and now I'm onto JavaScript and it feels like I'll never get it. I felt this way with html and CSS too at first but to a much lesser degree.

I understand variables but loops (while and for loops) have really hurt my morale and I haven't even learned about arrays or dom manipulation yet.

I have the Jon duckett JavaScript & jQuery book I'm also following the Colt Steele web development boot camp videos to get introduced to JavaScript but maybe I'm missing other resources.

What did you guys use to ease yourself into JavaScript and learn the basics?

>>60304455
stripe

>>60303339
I did Colt's bootcamp as well and i thought he explained java script very well. Just keep practicing and studying.

As for loops, think of them as multiple if statements, as that what they essentially are.

>>60303339

Build stuff with freecodecamp to figure out wtf these things are even good for

Also supplement with:

Eloquent Javascript (general and thorough)
You Don't Know JS (specific topics)

30 days of Javascript has some nice good short guided exercises you can do to relax once you have some basics down.

>>60305329

Look for lightbox.js gallery stuff, shadowbox sounds like a halfassed knockoff. React gallery is nice too.

There is this website that uses google for user authentication.

If i want to make a meme app is it possible to use google's api to authenticate? Or do i also need to change something server side?

>>60317444
You'd need to get your api id and api secret, then get the providers for your back end.

>>60317545
I'm reading about it right now but it looks like i also have to implement some code in the server side.

So its not possible to do it right? or am i missing something? i have no control over this website i'm speaking of, just want to make a tool for it.

>>60317613
Well yeah you can't just use the api, you need to handle sessions and stuff serverside.

>>60317613
What exactly do you want to make? Maybe you don't need user auth.

>>60311377
Depends, if you have back-end experience in something non-JS you probably could learn Vue and make SPA's.

Or learn Angular for the hell of it. You can make some nice stuff with Ionic.

>>60303339

From least to most precedence:

- agent normal declarations
- user normal declarations
- author normal declarations
(- inline styles)
- author important declarations
- user important declarations
- agent important declarations

>>60317645
Ok so i can't use the google api to authenticate because i need control over the back end server

>>60317672
what i want to do is: log in to website, show user info
So i must log in before to do so.

>>60317795
A phishing site?

>>60317833
It will simply show the user info in a different fancy way. That's all there is to it.

So back again at my question, it's not possible because i must have control over the back end.

That wouldn't be too bad. I mean, you can interface with all the C networking libraries no problem. Obviously you couldn't do a frontend in assembly unless you wanted to write your own client from scratch, but a backend would be trivial for a simple project...

Thoughts on CockroachDB?

It seems to have every good feature from RDBMS's and is horizontally scalable.

Anyone know how to use the Amazon product search API?


It's asking for a "signature"

The docs say it's my request hashed with something..it really makes no sense.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signing_aws_api_requests.html

Any ideas?

>>60305329
I made this a while ago, it might come handy. It's super simple python code.

https://github.com/Nicci00/flask-vids

>The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided.

Fucking come on.

WHY IS AMAZON SUCH SHIT

READ THIS AND TELL ME IT ISNT SHIT

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/rest-signature.html

You need this exact piece of shit fucking everything to get a signature match and even following it to the letter doesn't help. No fucking examples anywhere that aren't from 2009 and nothing works.

Listen, no one here can help you with AWS.

The value you specified for SearchIndex is invalid. Valid values include [ 'All','Wine','Wireless','ArtsAndCrafts','Miscellaneous','Electronics','Jewelry','MobileApps','Photo','Shoes','KindleStore','Automotive','Vehicles','Pantry','MusicalInstruments','DigitalMusic','GiftCards','FashionBaby','FashionGirls','GourmetFood','HomeGarden','MusicTracks','UnboxVideo','FashionWomen','VideoGames','FashionMen','Kitchen','Video','Software','Beauty','Grocery',,'FashionBoys','Industrial','PetSupplies','OfficeProducts','Magazines','Watches','Luggage','OutdoorLiving','Toys','SportingGoods','PCHardware','Movies','Books','Collectibles','Handmade','VHS','MP3Downloads','Fashion','Tools','Baby','Apparel','Marketplace','DVD','Appliances','Music','LawnAndGarden','WirelessAccessories','Blended','HealthPersonalCare','Classical' ].

Can someone explain the purpose of Express if Angular can handle routes as well?

>>60320993
Btw, the documentation doesnt tell you to put in a signing version which is required. It also tells you to hash the url with the user key which is wrong. You need to hash with the secret key.

Angular is in the browser, express is on the server. So you'd have an express server with routes like "/api/v1/products" and "/api/v1/orders", which are consumed by your angular app. of course though this is dumb for 99% of websites and you should just use express and simple js/jquery

>>60322808

Not sure if Im asking in the right place but is it possible to use the 4chan api to pull the most recent post from a thread and export that post to a text file? Then, say every 10 seconds, overwrite that text file if someone else added a new post to the thread?

The application would be for an OBS stream. I realize usually browser source would be easier but I'm limited for screen space.

Been learning web development and finally made it to learning javascript but the course I'm using to learn has started me off with learning variables, loops, functions and arrays first and it's been a little overwhelming. Mostly because all the exercises I'm doing is using numbers and math and all I wanna do is learn how to make a nice website and get a job making websites not fucking SaaS or complex shit.

I'm thinking perhaps I'm being introduced to Javascript the wrong way.. maybe not. Is it normal to learn these things first? When does JS actually get fun and interactive and usable with my html and css?

What's the standard way to setup a backend with React? I used the officially endorsed and supported "create-react-app" script to setup my project, but by default it only allows me to write frontend logic. How do I integrate a backend with it?

I'm pretty sure react is just for frontend.

Hey guys experienced programmer here wanting to jump into "modern" web dev.

So I can throw together websites using the "old" method of nested divs and styling everything with CSS, handling all the logic on the backend and using as little javascript as possible.

Unfortunately it seems the times have moved on and modern websites are javascript infested garbage that fetch content without reloading the page and perform a decent ammount of program logic in the client's browser - among being "reactive" and "mobile" and all that horse shit.

Anyway I want to "get with the times" and start writing websites that follow these sickening modern design patterns but honestly, I feel so far out of date I don't know where to start.

Every resource I find treats me like I'm some brain dead liberal college nu-male moron with no programming/design experience that needs godawful analogies to explain loops and never seems to teach me anything useful.

My question is, how can I bring myself up to speed on writing these "modern" flashy web applications without having to trudge through miles and miles of "babby's first" type crap.

>So I can throw together websites using the "old" method of nested divs and styling everything with CSS, handling all the logic on the backend and using as little javascript as possible.

What is it that you are you expecting to gain?
Loading content without reloading the page can be implemented with pjax.

By doing things the "modern" way you speak of, you'll just make your websites less accessible and even more difficult to maintain.

>>60332454
There is a lot new stuff in both .NET and MVC so you will need to update your knowledge. Also right now Core basically supports only console apps and web.

I'm in a similar position to you, personally I'm just learning React and trying my best to ignore the rest. React is fairly simple, you write React code in JSX (an extended version of Javascript) and then feed it into a transpiler that converts it to regular Javascript for web pages. Forget how exactly you hook it up once you've done that but it isn't hard, I think you just include the script in a pretty empty HTML document like you usually would.

It's quite nice actually, there definitely are benefits to doing this way, it lets you describe an element as a Javascript class with inline HTML (or close to it), you can just say "I want an instance of MyRadioButton here", I can see how it would scale much better if you were building fully featured UIs in your web pages as has (for better or for worse) become the norm.

how can u struggle with a basic concept such as a loop
literally all it does is allow for you to make what ever is in the loop until it reaches the limit you have set

for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  console.log(`Hello anon was printed ${i+1} times`);
}

it recieves i = 0 as the iteratee, sets the limit to 5 and adds to 1 to i after each execution of the code inside the for loop
after reaching the limit it just exits and continues on with the rest of the code

If this doesn't clear things up I really don't know what you should do.

>>60330969
React is only a frontend view framework. You need to serve the video file on the web server. Easiest way to get it going quickly is to copy it to whatever directory your static files are in (images, css, etc.)

>>60333810
>What in the shit is nginx
It's a web server and reverse proxy. It's kind of like Apache.

>why should i use it?
It sits in front of a web application server and does things like caching, load balancing, compression, and static file serving. Compared with apache, it tends to be a bit more performant because it uses an asynchronous connection model, rather than a process-based connection model.

>>60333757
