Will HTML 4 run?

I know this seems pointless, but it took awhile for me to figure out how to center text in HTML5.

div align="center"

Maybe it'll help someone out there

>>60559366
align is obsolete, use CSS and text-align instead.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/div#Attributes

>>60559366
SHUT THE FUCK UP

>>60559366
html is barebones nowadays.

just use css for anything design-related.

I've been doing web dev for about five years now, pretty much all LAMP stack (WordPress, Magento, Laravel, CakePHP).

I've got a new client who's after a portfolio site, which I'd normally go straight to WordPress for. I fancy using the opportunity to learn something new though because PHP is for shithouses.

Are there any strong non-PHP CMS' out there? JavaScript-based would be fun.

Reminder that :
Go, C#, Java > Python, Ruby > PHP, Javascript

>>60559388
>>60559414
I don't expect many people to find use for it. I'm just a novice and thought I would share since I asked this thread and several other people before figuring it out.

My friend has a profile on a website for their job, but they can't edit CSS, only HTML. Thus it was relevant for me.

Why do websites make public apis?

>>60561755
why not? It makes it so much easier for others to interact with your site in an automated way. Say you have a cool site and others want to scrape it, well, instead of scraping it they can just code a script in 2 minutes to get all the info through the API.

>>60559679
Jekyll with cloudcannon is fine if you don't need anything too dynamic. But for a portfolio site it might even be easier to roll your own and use something like dropbox for the store - i.e. they upload their pieces and the site rebuilds itself.

Complete newb here, I want to deploy a small application on heroku. The app has static files and media files (i.e. files uploaded by users).

Is there something special I have to do to make sure static and media files are deployed, except this:

urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

>>60563075
you wouldn't deploy your 'media files' / user files. they're not source. use S3 on heroku for user files

>>60562726
How else is API supposed to be used if it's not public?

>>60563368
it's a small app just to show off, I know that heroku would clean temp (i.e. media) files when the app is reset, but I don't care about it, I just want it up, so S3 would be an overkill I think

What am I doing wrong?

My page url is mypage.com/something/xyz

On that page I have a link with href="/about.html"

But if I click on that it takes me to mypage.com/something/about.html

I need to clear the path "something" from the url.

How do?

>>60563570
that's how it works.

do you have a base element somewhere?
if so try adding ../ before.

I'm just getting started with WordPress, and I'm trying to make my own theme. I started with the "twentyseventeen" theme that they give you by default, just to try to learn how everything works.

I noticed that everything seems to load a metric ass-ton of javascript, despite this being a largely static site. If I create my own theme, will I be able to get rid of jquery and this other crap, or is it hopelessly entangled with WordPress?

Very simple and stupid question, but WHAT DOES THIS DO? Never seen the &&s being used when assigning value.
Specifically, what does the && statement mean and what would this result in?

const localFeeds = localStorage.feeds && JSON.parse(localStorage.feeds);

So I've tried a couple of times in the past to get pomf setup on my home server for personal use, but I can never get it working correctly.

I'm running apache2 with pretty much default configuration, but when I start uploading images, I start getting server error messages, but what's odd is that often one image will go through and then the next won't? Any ideas?

I made a little proof of concept once that used tumblr because I was working with a guy who already used tumblr a lot. I ultimately decided against it because I didn't want to worry about tumblr changing there terms, shutting down etc but it was pretty cool from a normie perspective and saved the time of designing a cms interface, searching/tagging was already implemented etc

>>60564252
Localfeeds is set to true if both localStorage.feeds && JSON.parse(blah blah) return true. If one or both of those returns false/fails then localfeeds would be set to false.

>>60564252
&& is a short-circuiting operator.

If the first (left) parameter is false, it returns that parameter, because the result of a logical and operation will be false, and it has deemed that parameter evaluates to false.

If the first (left) parameter is true, it returns the value of the second (right) parameter, because if that second parameter evaluates to true, then the expression is true, and if it's false, the expression is false.

The unintuitive part is that what is returned is not necessarily a boolean true or false value. There are several values that evaluate to false (0, false, "", null, maybe others I'm not thinking of?), and most other things evaluate to true. So the thing that gets returned is one of the two parameters of the && operation.

In this case, localStorage.feeds might be an empty string. If it is, the first parameter evaluates to false, so the operation short-circuits, and that empty string will be returned to be set as localFeeds. If it's not, then the non-empty string will be parsed as JSON, and the resulting object will be returned and set as localFeeds.

Basically, that code just makes sure we don't try to parse an empty string as JSON.

>>60564576
No, JavaScript && does not necessarily return a boolean.

I just started trying to learn web dev basics two days ago. HTML and CSS, truly beginner. I am trying to learn and practice as much as I can and plan on doing it everyday because I am currently a NEET on disability and have time. How long is it going to take before I can actually get a job?

Does anyone do it on their own without having a position as a company? How much experience do you have if so? What are the incomes like of people who freelance web dev vs those with jobs? Sorry for noob questions I just don't know if I should spend more time investing in this or 3d printing. The downside to 3d printing is of course the initial investments and material costs.

>>60568345
depends what im doing but more often than not, vscode, if you liked atom but hated how slow it was vscode will probably suit you best

Does it ever boggle your mind the number of shit your server is doing at once? Thousands of simultaneous connections, atomic read/writes to your database, throwing and catching exceptions, doing redirects, hundreds of writes to log files? Doesn't it ever seem like a giant wobbling tower of strings and marbles, ready to collapse at any moment?

>>60569637
Lay off that kush senpai.

>>60569447
>How long is it going to take before I can actually get a job?
Couple months.

>Does anyone do it on their own without having a position as a company?
That's freelance. I hate doing freelance, personally. Administration, client relations, legal, what a nightmare. Watch the talk Fuck You, Pay Me.

>How much experience do you have if so?
You need basically no real experience to get freelance gigs. You could even do rentacoder type shit.

>What are the incomes like of people who freelance web dev vs those with jobs?
Huge spectrum of possibilities for both. Can't really be directly compared. You make this choice based on what kind of environment you want to work in, NOT based on the money.

>investing in 3d printing
u wot m8? Web dev is one of the most in-demand gigs there is, and has been incredibly stable through multiple recessions, and has highly competitive salaries. It's also cushy as fuck. 3D printing is some toy bullshit with no significant revenue potential.

I'm thinking about getting into c# guys. Sadly I don't really know that much about.

Was talking to a recruiter and they were telling me about how much the area around here is booming with this as a desired language. I've looked around and pretty much every fucking job is asking for .net or c#

Is there any reason not to? I don't have any backend experience/exposure at all (At least I'm assuming they're wanting it for backend) other than a college course on MySQL.

Of course the end goal is a job so I'm considering buying a course to learn it just because I don't have time to decipher Indians on YouTube with shit audio.

Is it a hard language to grasp or a bad one to learn for a first language? Does it ignore whitespace? Is the free version of visual studio sufficient? What kind of stuff should I be aiming to make to get a job/does it take a long time to git gud with?

Thanks in advance.

Pic is so I can find my post later.

Watching a CSS tutorial and he did the following selector:

html, body { ... }

The fuck? Wouldn't you just do html since that encompasses body?

>>60573697
that depends. https://codepen.io/anon/pen/wdOdKB
try removing ", body" here. you can see that it changes the output

>>60573537
C# is kind of similar syntax-wise to Java, if you've ever used that.

If you're looking for webdev jobs, then learn ASP or ASPX or ASP.NET or whatever it's called these days.

>>60573697
For most things that are going to be inherited, like fonts, you're going to want to just style body. But I guess there's not really any harm in adding those styles to html as well.

Styling the html element is generally for box model stuff, and possibly setting some defaults. For example, you might want to target both html and body for doing things like setting the margins and padding to 0, since browsers might have different defaults for those values. Another case where I've had to style html is to set its height to 100% (and body's height as well), in order to do some vertical alignment things.

i HATE web devopment

i didnt become a programmer for this

>>60573823
Y tho? I thought styling one thingy styles all its children. body is a child of html. So it should be redundant but as observed it's clearly not.

Not necessarily. Certain properties are inherited by default, while others are not. Basically, either the default value for those properties are "inherit" or they are some other value.

Things like font and text color are inherited by default, while things like height, width, and margins are not.

You can still set the height of body to "inherit". It's just not set to that by default.

I just got the idea of creating a small set of classes and functions in Typescript to generate all the CSS rules.

Tell me /wdg/ why has no one ever done this before?

(Like in seriously, using code instead of plain rules is quite more efficient).

I think that's because your font isn't monospaced and 1s are different width. You could wrap each character in a div with a width and center align the text or use a different/fix the font.

does anyone have any experience with plone? I'm trying to set up an intranet website using plone, but I the documentation is a little lacing. do I just use apache or nginx as the front end and instead of pointing it to a domain should I point apache to the intranet?

What's the difference between

function foo() {};

and

var foo = function() {};

>>60578263
the first one is hoisted, the second is run when the JS engine gets to that line.
the second also lets you scope functions correctly, where as the first always defines the function even if your block never executes.

Whats a good lightweight framework for something that will be mostly a static business website? I used Drupal years ago for the task but would like to avoid PHP.

you don't need any clients, just host them yourself and say so, nothing wrong with that. Otherwise, just go on upwork and offer your work for little money, if all you want is somebody to take your sites.

God I hope so, I've been studying webdev (HTML/CSS/JS) for the past two years while taking CS classes (basic C/C++ and Java stuff) and I already felt like I knew nothing once I started getting into stuff like react, mysql, and node. I just really want a dev job guys. I'm tired of being a retail cuck.

What's the best way to learn web development ?

And how much time does it take to be employable ?

Can anyone just help me? My parents are kicking me out next week and I need to find a job until then! I'm downloading Dreamweaver right now, it's what you use right?

>>60579718
>>60579847
pick up basic programming first to get some of the principles down, doesn't matter which languages. once you're good at programming the language becomes irrelevant.
then look into server side languages/frameworks and some html/javascript.
see html and javascript as a UI framework for your code behind.

start by reading the OP.

Guys, https://www.udemy.com is having an amazing discount for their courses. I dont know if anyone has experience with it but I would like to take a course of Web Development, but I dont know wich too choose, any help?

trying to wrap my head around registration and authentication, can someone give me a sanity check on this?
registration-
client posts desired credentials to server
server does verifications to make sure both are in correct format
server does verification to see if db currently contains same username
if unique - username is written to db, password is hashed and written to db
server responds ok
authentication-
client posts login credentials to server
server does verifications to make sure both are in correct format
server checks to see if login username exists in db
if it does, hash the sent login password and see if hash matches stored hashed password
if match, send ok with jwt
jwt is stored locally on client, how is it used going forward? Do all new requests from the logged in client include the token so the server can id it?

>>60575845
Setting logic on top of css would alllow you to create something more efficient, for example instead of the retarded relative position system you could use cartesian coordinates and have everything making more sense, plus the code would be more easy to read, and at times even faster to write.

>>60579718
There's really a lot to go through.

You're at a disadvantage if you've never programmed before. That would definitely help in learning JavaScript.

But before that, you should probably just start with simple HTML and CSS. Maybe do a free online course to learn the basics, then make a few things of your own to get familiar with a real world environment. (Personally, I prefer using a basic IDE or text editor as opposed to a wysiwyg editor like Dreamweaver, but I guess that's up to you.)

Then learn some basic JavaScript. If you don't know how to program already, probably do an online course, and make sure you learn how to add basic functionality to your site.

I'd say learn those 3, and maybe some basic design principles, and you can get a freelance job making static sites. I don't think you should even delve into backend, because that's a whole other skillset.

>>60580892
>jwt
no idea what that is, but yeah, you pretty much got it down.
Authentication also has to do with giving the right people access to the right places. Meaning, maybe you have three classes: registered user, Moderator and Admin. All 3 register, but only mods can edit posts, and only Admins can delete posts (whatever, can't think of a better example), so you have to make sure that each user is given the correct permissions.

Some parts of your site might only be accessible to certain users, etc. So you need to define all this in the user definition, and implement it somewhere, usually on the view.

>Do all new requests from the logged in client include the token so the server can id it?
Pretty much, yes, so that every action is authenticated, because of what I said before.

>>60580759
lol Udemy ALWAYS has an amazing discount on their courses, don't fall for that gimmick. If you wanna buy something fine, but don't let them rush you into it because those deals are on pretty much every other day. Google "how to get Udemy discount" or smth like that and they'll teach you the trick.

>>60580142
do you really think something like that is hard to believe?

Gonna ask this straight.

My job is shit, I'm quitting, I have enough money to stay at home learning something on my own for a while.

Web dev or coding for landing a job and making money?

>>60580907
Existing preprocessors already support basic logic. Little reason to force frontend devs to learn another language to do same thing. Also cartesian coordinates are supported as absolute positioning, it's just that basing layout on it is retarded.

>>60580892
J W this used to achieve stateless authentication meaning you would put user permissions into token and when user tries to access restricted resource you can check his access using data in token.

>>60581150
>web dev or coding
Web dev is coding per se. Start with html/css and after a few days pick a programming language and stick with it until you're comfy enough to grasp and use/manipulate collections, strings, integers, loops etc etc.

I hear Python's pretty beginner friendly so you can start with that.

Even though it's the language of the web I'd advise against starting with Java Script because imo it can be pretty confusing for newcomers.

After making something non-trivial with your language get into learning JS (for front end and back end if you want to learn NodeJS) and a back end language of your choice(you can stick with Python or learn C#, Go, Php, Swift, ...). It will be a lot easier to get into this stuff once you've actually learned to program. Good luck.

>>60581346
By "pet game", do you mean like a pet project, or like a game that's about pets, like dogs and cats?

Do the Web Development Boot Camp by Colt Steele, at the same time you're doing that you should also be doing Free Code Camp. If you get stuck on Free Code Camp just keep doing the Udemy course.

When you complete both of those courses you should be eligible for an entry level role provided you have built up a decent portfolio site and completed some projects.

>>60583528
>totally overkill
allow me to disagree. Yes, it's overkill for the task, but the goal of a portfolio is not to do the work with the least amount of effort possible, but to show your future employer that you know how to use the tools. I don't think there's many flask jobs out there, but there's plenty of Django ones. Hence you wanna show that you know how to use django. Just my $0.02 though.

Where does "entry level" start for someone working 25-20 hours a week?

Probably not the right thread for it but hey. So one of my commits, containing 12 hours of work, has been overwritten because of a serial --force user. The only reason it was 12 hours is probably because he kept forcing his shit up to the repo, and I had to fix conflicts manually because I'm new to and shit at github.
Anyone know if there's a way to get this garbage back, or am I going to fucking murder someone today?

>>60584214
did you delete your local branch already?

you could check your local reflog if it's still there.

>>60584388
>did you delete your local branch already?
Yeah, not by choice though. I'm using github desktop.
>why do you even have force push allowed on the server.
I don't have control of the repo and I don't know if that's even a thing on github. I'm very new to git in general.
>you could check your local reflog if it's still there.
I don't know what or where that is, sorry. Still, that sounds like a lead. Thanks.

>>60584428
>github desktop.
worst choice.
it auto stages changes and generally abstracts git from you too much.
look at sourcetree or use an IDE that support git.

>I don't know what or where that is
go to your local git repository using the command shell of your choice and enter "git reflog"
it should list you your local commits
if you find the one you're missing copy its hash and run

git reset --hard <hash>

make sure you don't have any open changes, they might get deleted when you reset.

Guys, a small question about MongoDB.
I write my data in test collection "test" and now i trying to see it in mongo console so:

bd.test.find();

but it don't do anything. What's wrong?

>>60587172

Either the test collection has no elements (you didn't insert correctly) or db is not the database that has the test collection. Make sure to "use db" before querying.

>>60587218
Well, this is my example:

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient,
      assert = require('assert'),
      url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/test';
  
  MongoClient.connect(url, (err, db) => {
    if (err) throw err;
    var collection = db.collection('test');
    
    var data = {test: 'something'};
    
    collection.insert(data, (err, result) => {
      if (err) throw err;
      
      collection.find().toArray((err, results) => {
        console.log(results);
        db.close();
      }); 
    });

  });

I see my data from console.log(), but in don't in mongo console.

Technically, I think there's some law in Europe that made it illegal to link to pirated content as well.

All the pirate streaming sites I've looked at seem to use either google video for hosting (they really don't seem to vet customers) or an array of other hosts, all of whom seem to be suspiciously similar. Their FAQs, and many other parts of their sites, are literally word for word identical. I'm not sure if they're just all fronts for one business, or if they're just all using some common backend, but it's weird.

I wrote a scraper with a nice UI, just for myself and some of my friends to use, so that I don't have to deal with the shitty javascript players that these pages use and their universally awful UX.

My goal with learning web development is to be able to get into a career that will be safe from automation for the foreseeable future, be involved in an industry that is growing, to be able to work anywhere on earth and to have the potential to work from home.

>Do the Web Development Boot Camp by Colt Steele

I'm not that anon but this is looking very enticing lately. I've been planning on going to a bootcamp because I kind of feel like I need that classroom structure but for $10, it's kind of hard to beat. I could pocket the bootcamp money and put it towards investing so I can live comfy while devoting all my time to the Udemy course. I'm also in desperate need of an adderall prescription to help me through it but that's a different story.

>>60590537
>Does anyone on here work remotely? How feasible is it?

Lurking here. not a web dev but a freelance graphic designer.
If you're going to freelance I HIGHLY recommend you stay away from the shitty freelance sites (freelance.com, upwork, etc.). They have annoying fees and annoying payout schedules and that's IF you get work because you're constantly being outbid by someone in a second rate country willing to work for much less than you.

Your best bet is to clearly define what your skills are, place a set value to them by looking at what competitors charge, and find a way to engage with customers before they wind up on one of those freelance sites. If you can accomplish that, after a while the majority of your work will be coming to you whether it be recommendations or repeat customers.

Why do clients insist on using the shittiest technologies? The technologies I recommend also have easy interfaces so it's not that

>>60591047
What do they insist on, and what do you recommend?

>>60579008
I'll give you $100 to help me implement my site and I'll provide a reference

[email protected]

>>60590833
going to answer my own question here, yes. you'll probably violate dry principles but the component will replace whatever content is in the element before, and not append it or do anything crazy. so you can in theory render on the server in whatever language you want and then write your react on top of it.

>>60577052
fork it first then commit on your own master branch so it would show in your contribution. then send pull request. It would already show in your contribution whether your pull request got merged or not

>>60578263
for best practice and to separate yourself from pajeets, always do:

>I see my data from console.log(), but in don't in mongo console

type 'use test' into the mongo console to switch to the 'test' db, then type 'db.test.find().count()' which should return the number of docs in the 'test' collection. (Easier than spamming up your console if you have a lot of docs)

>>60590537
> a career that will be safe from automation for the foreseeable future
Depending on your timeframe, you'll have a hard time finding something that matches that requirement.

The rest of that stuff is completely feasible though, although I highly recommend you put in a few years working for a software company before going freelance and also taking some business/sales classes or something because freelance is like 30% writing code, 70% dealing with clients.

And as others have said, most freelance sites are cancer.

>>60592667
>type 'use test' into the mongo console to switch to the 'test' db
I already found what was wrong. I need to use "mongo test" for entering in mongo console (or your variant) instead "mongo" that i used before. With "mongo test" and next "bd.test.find();" all works fine.
But thanks for you help, anyway.

I'm implementing a REST webapi and am confused on the structure and retrieving items by id.

Let's say it looks like this:
Town -> House -> Persons

To get All towns I would do something like:

localhost/api/v0/towns

To get a specific town:

localhost/api/v0/towns/{townId}

Now to get all houses:

localhost/api/v0/towns/{townId}/houses

Now, I don't understand how to implement getting a house by given id:

localhost/api/v0/towns/{townId}/houses/{houseId}

The given townId now doesn't make any sense. Is it ok to just pass an arbitary "0" to it?

localhost/api/v0/towns/0/houses/1

Or shall I make a route like without townid?

localhost/api/v0/towns/houses/1

town is a resource in itself so having it as a get parameter (?town=1) is against everything rest stand for in the first place.
As said in SO link you should probably do:
POST api/towns/{id}/houses
to create a house
GET api/houses/{id}
to get a house
GET api/towns/{id}/houses
to get all houses in a town

It technically doesn't but it's not really The REST Way™.
GET params are for attributes of resources like:

GET api/towns/1/houses?color=green&size=big

And you may say that you don't care about The REST Way™, but the whole point of rest is to use these common practices, like for example using POST to create resources, and GET to retrieve them. Nothing says you can't use GET for everything, but that's not The REST Way™.

Does anyone else use Chrome Canary?

I've been having an issue on 4chan that I can't seem to replicate in my own tests.

When I have a reply that expands the comment textarea (i.e. gives it a scroll bar) and then I delete some stuff such that the text now fits within the textarea, the box becomes invisible, and then the post box looks like pic related. Typing in the box again causes it to reappear once the text has exceeded the area of the box.

The effect is the same as if I set the textarea's visibility to hidden, but inspecting the computed styles while I trigger and untrigger the visibility does not show any changes. Similarly, the HTML is identical before and after.

This only occurs in the last few versions of Chrome Canary, so it must be a bug there, but does anyone have any ideas on what property or code or whatever might be causing this?

Tell me how easy it is when your pull request gets kicked back because they want you to replace your 5ms query with a 13 second view.

I started using canary mainly to test some new webgl stuff.

Guys, retard here.

How to use sass in nodejs express projects? Should i use only node-sass-middleware or something else with it?
I installed the middleware, got an express example here:
https://github.com/sass/node-sass-middleware
and did everything like there, but it still does not works. Maybe need "node-sass" package for it?

Also, i seen a basic express template and there is no "node-sass", only "node-sass-middleware". Connecting code is similar (i tried use it too) and the template-project works fine.

I'm trying out some things with CSS today, but for some reason I have  appearing in front of my copyright symbol. It should just read as ©2013 My Shite

<footer>©2013 My Shite</footer>

What am I doing wrong?

&copy;

Make sure you have a charset defined also.

>>60597466
Try unicode codes of your  and © maybe.

>>60597466

<meta charset="utf-8">

I installed KeystoneJS on my VPS and ran it, but it set itself running on https://0.0.0.0:3000 for some reason. When I tried going to thedomain:3000 it just timed out. How have I fucked this?

If you talking about unicode codes, then your symbols should be

for html.

who though that server side rendering for normal operations would be a good idea?

the only reason I can think of would be for search engines, before they were able to handle JS.

I might be an idiot though

>>60598438
server side rendering is more performant
page renders faster

>>60598617
I get why pre-rendering for your most popular pages is nice to have, but I can only imagine, that SSR for every single request gets to be very taxing on the server for a larger site.
Not like you can cache every single unique request, like asking for some random users profile, right?

>>60598746
You can cache any page if it doesn't not contain session info unique to a certain user, i.e. "Welcome Username! You have 5 new messages", you could totally cache a user profile though if it was for not logged in users. You also have stuff like partial caching which just caches sections, so you could cache a users profile but not the part that shows info to logged in users

>>60598746
not at all.

client-side rendering:
>server loads bootstrap from cache
>client receives bootstrap
>client parses bootstrap
>client makes request for payload
>server processes request
>client processes result

server side processing
>server loads bootstrap from cache
>server requests "itself" for data
>server fills in blanks of bootstrap with request <--- only additional load on server and is extremely cheap
>server returns full page

In the client-rendered model, the server has to process two separate requests in two separate threads, which is more taxing

>>60598746
Server load will depend on language/framework/templating library. You can render HTML on the server with very little resources since it's basically just string concatenation. Obviously though a server spitting out just JSON instead of HTML should be faster. But a lot of JSON implementations are slow so a good HTML templating system could still be faster and use less resources. Just depends on all the details..

How would I go about writing a JS script using PhantomJS to loop idly waiting for an input before executing an action? I don't know the first thing about JS because looking at it gives me a headache.

Also I assume there's no way to do threading in JS?

>>60599030
i'm not really sure since I don't do JS, but the 'loop idly waiting' I think has to do with sockets.io, so check these links to see if that's what you need.

>https://socket.io/get-started/chat/
>https://www.tutorialspoint.com/socket.io/index.htm

Basically I think sockets is just a js library that just waits there for your input, and once it gets any input it runs with it.

I could be way off though, but nobody else is helping you out so there you go

Thank you. I didn't read any books, I just browse as many sites as I can while looking for inspiration then trying to do it on my own, that's how I learned.

To build a theme, use:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

You'll need to know PHP as well if you want to edit the templates.

Just editing the CSS can be done by editing wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen/style.css

The HTML is all inside PHP files, which are around the same location as the main stylesheet

Alternatively, I think the proper way to do this is to use twentyseventeen as a parent theme and build off of it that way.

So when styling shit, is it ALWAYS better to go with % instead of em or px? Because of ipad niggers and whatnot?

>>60600227
you want em or rem

>>60600250
y

>>60600254
I assume you mean "why", 2 more letters and you'd have gotten it, anon.

Because when someone has a different default font size (which is usually 16px) your layout doesn't fuck up.
Especially in times of 4k monitors you see higher default font sizes.

>>60600315
Shouldn't % have the same scaling effect? Why em over %?

>>60600315
Can't you bypass that by setting the font size at the beginning of your css then? Something like

body{ font-size: 16px; }

I assume that'll get everything on one size regardless of your defaults.

>>60600315
As it turns out making websites to look good on 1440p+ monitors is not that easy, yeah

>>60600370
% doesn't scale with the font size.

>>60600376
sure you can. but you'll earn the grudge of users that have it changed.

>>60600227
em or rem for fonts, so that they get set relative to the default.

% generally for block element widths, although pixels are alright in some cases, and can be adjusted in various media queries.

Any way "modularize" my nav bar? Gettin sick of copy and pasting this at the top of every new html file I make

>>60600651
that depends. if your end product is supposed to be just static html pages then you could use something like jekyll

>>60599766
parent theme?
i know basic php

>>60599270

And that's all you need. What's really fucky is actually learning the Wordpress native functions, knowing PHP gives you a better base for understanding what they actually do.
Good luck with that, because WP is a clusterfuck of functions.

once I get my JS skills down do you guys recommend me move onto learning Node and mongoDB for my backend languages since they're JS too? Or learn PHP/MYsql?

I just want a job in the web dev field.. I make $9 a hour watching fucking dogs (really comfy job but I'm 26)

I'm guessing learning PHP would automatically aide me doing Wordpress shit which is an easy way to get into the field (imo)

how are things looking for PHP 8.x w/ JIT? can we expect a dramatic performance boost like the 7.0 update?

>>60600651
Last time, I set up a gulp task to concatenate my small html files, header + navbar + container + footer.

>>60600651
I just do everything in PHP. I make a header file then include it on the pages where needed.
When I'm done I change the extensions back to HTML and paste the finished header/footer in them. Inefficient, I know.
