I really love the Idea of creating Desktop Apps with things like electron.io

But I want to store data locally. Like a CRM or Job Manager.

Should I be writing to a basic text file or should I be using a form of offline database backend?

>>62246645
NeDB according to
https://electron.atom.io/community/

maybe others are also usable like lowDB or levelDB, depending on your needs.

>>62246724
>NeDB
awesome thanks!

Threadly reminder not to use an ide for fucking javascript. Thank you.

>>62247657
What about for PHP? NetBeans is pretty comfy for PHP.

>>62248592
I don't see why you would want to for php tbqh

>>62247657
Without autocompletion, refactoring, find function and find function usages, I wouldn't dare to code in Typescript.

>>62248708
You don't need an ide to use fucking typescript nor those functions.

>>62247657
I know people have different definitions of that, but I guess you are not talking about vsCode/Atom and the like, right?

>>62248729
Also, interactive linter warnings are good way to avoid fucking Work Burnouts when coding with javascript after n years of being a developer.

Whats the ultimate web app stack? Im talking languages, frameworks, app servers, backend server and DB.

Is it worth learning ruby and rails for making web apps?

>>62246645
I'm using Dexie.js. You could also go with node-sqlite3 for heavier stuff, but it complicates multi-platform builds.

>>62247657
What is an IDE anyway? Is VSCode an IDE? It has debugging, refactoring, and language server integration for TypeScript. It also has integrated Git support. If VSCode qualifies as an IDE then the fact is you should almost always use one, because you should be almost always programming in typed languages, unless you're writing small python utility scripts.

>>62249217
Kotlin, Spring 5, Postgres

>>62249217
>Whats the ultimate web app stack?
Windows, C#, .NET, IIS, MSSQL

>>62249305
Might as well go with Postgres instead of MSSQL for ease of use

>>62249393
>ease of use
But that is exactly what you try to avoid by using the aforementioned stack.

JS(ES6/7), Vue.js, Node, (DB depends on use case)

>>62249305
swap IIS for kestrel

>>62249404
Is there an easier stack though?

>>62249274
VSC isn't an IDE. Extensions incorporate some IDE features however.

>>62248746
Nope. Text editors are exempt.

>>62249236
Depends on your situation. Are they viable tools for that task? Absolutely.

>>62249217
Postgres
Elixir
Ember
Phoenix

>>62249442
>Vue.js
Whats better about this than say react?

>>62249517
>Depends on your situation. Are they viable tools for that task? Absolutely.
I know its good for quick deployment, but does it scale well in terms of performance and maintainability?

>>62249517
>VSC isn't an IDE. Extensions incorporate some IDE features however.
why not though?

>>62249520
it's hip, trendy and isn't made by a big corporation. it also takes more of a mobx-like than redux-like approach to managing state, so it's great for people who aren't aware that mobx exists

>>62249520
I am much more proficient with Vue than React, so I can't give you a complete comparison.
It mostly comes down to single file components and Vues general syntax.
Doesn't mean that React is bad.

Is there money to be made doing python for backend stuff?

>>62249737
Integration.

>>62249775
>for people who aren't aware that mobx exists
What do you mean, should I throw everything and learn mobx?

always wondering what brings people into UX design. I would assume, that it's an overlap with graphic designers regarding interest for interfaces, but that doesn't always seem to be the case?

>>62249775
was kinda surprised using React for the first time, that state actually wasn't reactive as in Vue by default, until you add something like MobX to the mix

>>62246479
Hello /wdg/.

So, I have these two scripts in every page of my website, the goal is to load the html and the js of the navigation menu in every page (nav.js requires jquery to work) :

- external jquery from the official website
- an inline script which loads nav.html snippet and also loads nav.js

Fact is, SOMETIMES the menu doesn't work (very weird because it loads the nav.html and all the css, but then clicking on the hamburger menu does nothing). It happens quite rarely but when it happens it's impossible to go through the pages of the website!

If you could help me, I would be very grateful.
I can post more code if needed.
Thank you.

>>62250614
Oh, actually 4chan won't let me post my code (connection error), so maybe I can post a screenshot if needed.

>>62250590
You were on the right track. They use the same tools as graphic designers (although now there's many other tools they can use) mainly photoshop and illustrator, but are focused on interaction with design, use cases, and general human behavior.

what does that even mean? vscode offers embedded terminal emulator, git client, task runner and debugger. seems pretty integrated to me

>>62250060
if you're doing React or considering dropping it for Vue only because you don't like Redux then sure

Any errors in the console?
Are you using jQuery to append the script tag for nav.js once jQuery is loaded? (not using jquery myself, but I think that's how it's done??)
Have you tried loading the nav script with 'defer' in the tag?
Have you simulated everything with a slow mobile connection and got different/more consistent results?

>>62250149
>>62250940
Cool, thanks. I think I prefer Redux's functional approach, but MobX doesn't look too bad. Haven't dealt with Observables before, but I've heard it's a fairly useful pattern in general.

Ayyy /wdg/. I've got a domain registered with Namecheap and linked up to Digital Ocean successfully. Now how do I make the magic happen, i.e. transfer index.html and the rest onto the DO droplet to have a mothafucking website on the mothafucking internet???

>>62250962
>Any errors in the console?
I just checked the firefox console, i managed to "break" the menu but there are no errors.
>Are you using jQuery to append the script tag for nav.js once jQuery is loaded?
I use two jquery functions, .load in order to load nav.html, getscript to load nav.js.
>Have you tried loading the nav script with 'defer' in the tag?
I cannot use defer with nav.js as it's contained in a getscript function which is inline (afaik, defer doesn't affect inline scripts)
>Have you simulated everything with a slow mobile connection and got different/more consistent results?
I tested it with both firefox desktop and firefox for android, the menu doesn't work in a few occasions. My father also tried to browse this website (Android stock browser), saying that it always works, never broke on him. :/

How many portfolio projects do you think one needs to become "hireable"? Ideally one per skill-set I claim to have?

>>62251355
At least 24, and that's if you want an unpaid intern position

>>62251409
Bother, I have only 23.

>>62251228
you can simulate different connection qualities in each browsers dev tools.
So your problem simply is that jQuery isn't available to the other nav script at the time it's needed? Sounds like a a problem, that would be extremely common and googleable

I've made a bot that retweets tweets. All you have to do is feed it the tweet ID.
Question: how do I mass add accounts to the system? Right now I have to manually create accounts, verify them, setup developer options to get the API and secret keys, then add them to the system for each account. Is there an easier way to do this?

>>62251520
Already googled that, tried different solutions, nothing werks. Also, when the menu breaks the console shows that jquery is downloaded (and executed I suppose?) before nav.js, so nothing suspicious... This shit is driving me insane.

>>62251535
pay someone to do it for you

>>62250752
IDEs are useful tools. Maybe less for javascript but still very useful. Saying you shouldn't use one is as stupid as saying you should not use frameworks.

>>62252343
We're only talking about javascript though, did you read the original comment at all? Stop letting your emotions get the best of you.

>>62251227
DO droplet comes empty meaning you have to setup everything by yourself including webserver.

I would like to try out webgl because OpenGL and Canvas2D were fun, but so far every single example project I have seen had massive lag. Even if it ran soomthly, every 10 seconds or so I got a huge drop in frame rate. Why could that be? Is it even worth getting into webgl, after all?

>>62251785
Damn, okay then. I thought there was a way to do it through the API. Guess I'll have to find some Indians on Fiverr or some shit

I have an idea for a project but I'm not sure if it has been done before and I want to make something unique.

Here's the idea: I'm going to make a e-shop website that sells products that are extremely cheap (I'll probably make some webscraper that pulls prices from multiple websites and then have the price to be ~20% cheaper). Here's the catch though, I'm not going to actually sell any products, that way I'll save money for the cost of buying the products and the logistics involved. If the customer complains I'll just keep sending automatic mails that it's coming soon.

So has this been done before and do you think this is something I can do with 2 month experience of web development?

>>62253086

Questionable legality aside, everything sounds simple except for the web scraper, which is the brunt of the work. I attempted something similar awhile back, but I'm retarded and couldn't figure out a more efficient method of looking up products aside from piggybacking off Google/eBay's APIs

Are you going to scrape the prices from a pre-selected list of sites?

>>62253086

Today i had my first ever technical interview for back-end developer (php, mysql, zend) and i sucked like, horse dick.
Interview was like 150 minutes long, i was asked to write querys, php functions and asked bunch of questions.
I felt autistic and when i started i messed up fucking insert query, wtf man
i started typing insert into table(t1,t2) values('shit','shit','shit',shit')
why is this happening to me?
does anyone have any experience like this?
fucking hell

now i need to wait if they gonna take me for 14 days testing

>>62256223
Happened to me on my first technical interview. I sperged out and couldn't solve the problem (i saved the code and solved my problem within minutes at home). I'm not sure what the solution to a performance anxiety, but you'll get better at it.

>>62256260
she gave like to do this:
you have form with 3 input field, fname, lname and bdate
write function which will determine how many days till your bday
it is stupid ez but like i got stuck and i dont even remember where
when i got home i did it in like 10-15 minutes

She saw that i was nervous, asked me why im i into php when i write good php oop code. I should be doing some better language.

(Unfortunately) if you want to work on mobile there is no decent alternative to React Native right now.

If there is I would actually love to hear it because we are starting work on a new app soon and want to get off the React train.

My entry-level af job involves making UIs for displaying/editing XML data. I know a little bit of JS/jQuery and Bootstrap, and so far it gets the job done (but I keep hearing talk about jQuery being outdated/inefficient)

Should I bother learning a framework on top of everything else?

Jquery is useful but I wouldn't bother learning it in depth, just remember the commands you frequently use.

>>62265200
To ensure that you will have the desired values before proceeding to the next step of the program.

>>62265200
it's a form of asynchronicity.
Lets say you want to load a resource from HDD or even from another website on the internet.
You don't want to sit idle (blocking) until it finished loading. So JS will just continue with some other scheduled code and then later run your specified callback function once the resource you wanted becomes available.

Is there a way to ensure that a Progressive Web App remains cached permanently (on Android or desktop, no luck on iOS)? It needs to be available offline and I don't want to have to make a bloody Electron wrapper just to make it work reliably with no connection.

>>62267287
yea you basically proxy requests to application domain in service worker and cache them in localstorage or indexeddb
browser will occasionally try to update app but it should still work as long as you're offline

any wordpress anon here, what is the best way to build the plugin, wp mvc or wp plugin boilerplate?

Technically, building it from scratch.
MVC and the boilerplate act differently- MVC if you want to bake in functionality into a theme, BP if you want a standalone plugin.

what are the crazies at aws doing with all these services?

Is this a good pattern when you want a different this than the scope has or is it considered ugly?

function someFunc() {
    var _this = this;
    something.on("click", function() {
        console.log(_this);
    });
};

>>62271863
Amazon mandated years ago that all technology development in the company had to be in the form of services which could be marketed to the public tech sector. It was actually a huge innovation for such a large company, and put them well ahead of the pack in terms of both technology and market share.

>>62272344
Arrow functions automatically bind to the outer `this`:

function someFunc() {
  something.on('click', () => console.log(this));
}

If you want to explicitly set `this` then you should use Function#bind:

const somethingElse = {a: 1};

function someFunc() {
  something.on('click', (function() {
    console.log(this);
  }).bind(somethingElse));
}

>>62272344
That pattern is found in the official Vue documentation so I trust it.

>>62272421
Wow the official Vue documentation is retarded I guess.

>>62272450
It's vue so that's a given.

>>62272450
Why though? Here's an example
https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/computed.html#Watchers

var vm = this
axios.get('https://yesno.wtf/api')
  .then(function (response) {
    vm.answer = _.capitalize(response.data.answer)
  })

Ey /wdg/, collegefag here. I hate everything in CS thus far and just want to build services on top of blockchain tech for small businesses. Is this "web," stuff or not? Everything in our curriculum is enterprise desktop targeted fuckery with C# so I literally know nothing else yet, just trying to get a handle on what I should be learning in my spare time to accomplish my goals.

>>62272527
you can still use c# to build those services if you're already comfortable with it

>>62272527
You can do webdev and web services with C#, I think it's even one of the most employable languages.

>>62272494
Why not just use an arrow function like the other guy said?

>>62272564
I don't know. What do the elders of JavaScript say about it?

>>62272527
they were recently hiring a web dev for the uni website and it all used c#

>>62272494
Because that's an outmoded hacky pattern that was used before bind was specced way back in ES5.1. bind is supported back to IE9 so there's no excuse for not using it.

Really Vue is not wrong in choosing the theoretically most portable possible code for its documentation, there's an argument to be made for the validity of that use case (though the choice of variable name in the given example, 'vm', is particularly egregious as it fails to clearly indicate that the standard scope hack pattern is being utilized), but the real lesson here is that you should not be seeking to emulate the JS usage of Vue documentation. If you write your JS the way it's written in the Vue docs, your Vue code will work but it won't be good code.

>>62272610
yes arrow functions would be useful in that axios example.
You only need normal non-arrow functions when declaring them inside your "methods" property so that "this" will properly refer to your "data" object.

>>62272546
>>62272561
>>62272642
Well damn, I guess I'm in better shape than I thought. I'll have to pick up JS for the front-end of the services though, right?

>>62272756
yes

If I were to create a website from scratch, I currently have nodejs+expressjs for the server, what should I use for the front end?

I know I can use basic html+js+css to make the front end but is there a better framework? I've been told about Angular but that it's also very opinionated. What framework should I use for a multipage website that will also include some apps on some of the pages?

I want to use Bootstrap for the design

>>62272842
The websites I have in mind are just like any other website you see out there online. What would be the best way to make the front end for any website? Nevermind the apps for now?

some concrete example

methods: {
    fetchData() {
        axios.get(`https://api.example.org/getSpecific/${this.id}`)
            .then(response => {
                this.title = response.data.title || "a share with this ID does not exist"
                this.content = response.data.content
                this.link = location.href
            })
            .catch(error => {
                console.log(error)
            })
    }
}

Vue docs are generally quite good and it's not like they are wrong there.
Guess they want to avoid people overzealously using arrow functions in the wrong places and as a consequence being unable to access the data object.

What does express have to do with bundling your project with webpack?
Or how do you think they would interact in your case?
One bundles your files the other serves them.

When developing you can either use the webpack-dev-server, without express running.
Or not use the dev-server and instead run your express server separately and serve from the folder that webpack outputs your bundle to.

I have a question, in my coursework I've been told to use background image for logos, however I also want to include my nav in my header tags. If the logo takes up the background of my header, then my navigation will be sitting on top of my logo.

How do I avoid this / are my notes wrong?

>>62275004
Doesn't really matter if you use background image but if your teacher insists use it.

Wrap your logo in a div tag or add a class to your image and set the width in it.

Use Chrome Dev tools, learn the basics of it because it helps a lot with css.

I'm playing around with Jquery animations.

If I want a link to change the content of below a header, should I fade out one div and then fade another in? Or should I change the innerhtml of one div?

>>62275567
This is me.

I've got it working, I think how I like. However, the only issue I have now is hiding the divs on default.

#content {
display: none;}

won't work. I'm using Jquery's fadeOut() and fadeIn() to hide and show my divs and the divs won't show upon link click with this option.

Here is my JS:

$(document).ready(function (e){
    $('#show_home').click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $('#contact').fadeOut(1000);
        $('#servies').fadeOut(1000);
        $('#home').fadeIn(1000);
    })

    $('#show_services').click(function (e){
        e.preventDefault();
        $('#home').fadeOut(1000);
        $('#contact').fadeOut(1000);
        $('#services').fadeIn(1000);
    })

    $('show_contact').click(function (e){
        e.preventDefault();
        $('#home').fadeOut(1000);
        $('#services').fadeOut(1000)''
        $('#contact').fadeIn(1000);
    })
})

Is there anyone using Windows host with RDP to another PC / VM for web development?
Well, pretty much this thread >>62279547

What do you recommend?

>>62279793
>RDP
Remote desktop is garbage. Ditch the IDE and use a light editor like sublime or vim. Also you should probably just buy a work laptop and run linux on it directly. Windows desktop, linux main laptop with dual boot or windows VM. You can even get a docking station for the laptop and then easily use it as your sole development machine.

>>62261707

>>62279878
Yeah, I really would like to get either laptop or mini-PC. Basically, I run 2 Vagrant instances at the same time and two loaded projects in IDEA. Lots of RAM consumed ;)

I'm not sure I would ever need a lot of CPU for this. I don't need a graphic card or anything that increases heat and weight significantly. The problem with laptops is that you cannot really customize them and you have to pay for OS/screen/integrated peripherals. Sure it's really nice solution when you have to travel a lot, but I would either have a small box and SSH/RDP to it than have a 15" device sitting near my already bloated table.

Not sure where should I ask, I'm not really visiting 4chan too often. Where can I ask to suggest some good laptops for devs?

The answer to all questions of the form "should I learn X?" is yes, but you have to prioritize. If you're shaky with vanilla no-library JS then focus on that. Then move on to flavor of the month frameworks.

>but I keep hearing talk about jQuery being outdated/inefficient
jQ is very efficient, much more than angular/react/vue/whatever. The programmer experience is more "low-level" (although jQ itself is already a fairly abstract library on top of an interpreted high level language, all things are relative) so if someone says it's "inefficient" they're probably talking about programmer time rather than any technical point.

Are you guys well-versed in computer science as well as training in web dev? I'm looking to embark on this massive pathway:

https://github.com/open-source-society/computer-science#introduction-to-computer-science

It lists two of the popular edx courses that everyone takes. But I would like your view on whether it would enhance my learning as a web developer or whether it would complicate things. I may want to make software in the future but my heart is in web dev. At the same time, knowledge of computer science concepts can work out very well. What would you do /wdg/?

what's wrong with dual booting.
Or consider bash for windows (wsl) as another option. I usually run vsCode normally in windows and then run everything else (bundling, testing, building) with bash.

>>62280158
>jQ is very efficient, much more than angular/react/vue/whatever.
Don't think it's fair to make a comparison like that.
jQuery is arguably 'simpler', when you only want to make some small individual changes on a site and it's 'efficient' since it covers various areas, (animation, DOM, ajax, etc.)
For building a proper application I can't think of a situation though, where I would find jQuery more 'efficient' overall than one of the proper frameworks/libraries you mentioned.

Everything up to the "papers" section, probably only read like a third of those. I like algorithms and datastructures stuff though, most my coworkers probably know one sort and one search algorithm, BSTs, and the non-formal notion of big-O. Most working american programmers have never read an academic paper. It's a good study guide though.

It's hard to talk about salaries outside of the US, all I know is here and New Zealand. Here, if you could do the stuff up to the "even more knowledge" plus recursion you'd be doing better than most people I've interviewed and OK'd for 100k+ positions. Silicon valley does have inflated salaries, but you could get 70k positions almost anywhere here in the states. Lop of 10k and that's what you'd make in NZD in new zealand roughly.

>>62280284
>Don't think it's fair to make a comparison like that.
>jQuery is arguably 'simpler', when you only want to make some small individual changes on a site and it's 'efficient' since it covers various areas, (animation, DOM, ajax, etc.)

It is definitely an apples/oranges kind of comparison

>For building a proper application I can't think of a situation though, where I would find jQuery more 'efficient' overall than one of the proper frameworks/libraries you mentioned.

Well if we're talking about CPU cycles, at least for react, for every change you have to do this gnarly tree diff before you can even touch DOM, and then when you do a collection of operations like "move thing from parent X to parent Y" invoke a full rebuild of the subtrees in question. Maybe highly efficient in programmer time, but it will never be faster than a good implementation with jQ's pretty thin wrapping around the raw DOM manipulation API.

>>62280284
>I don't want to dual boot because sometimes I do non-windows things
No, I mean I use non-windows and windows things at the same time.

For example:
1. I have Reaper with VST that outputs the sound from my dynamic microphone (attached to USB sound card) to virtual cable so I can use it with Google Hangouts, Discord, etc
2. I never close VMWare so I can work without waiting on loading OS, IDE, separate Chrome for dev-only tabs (documentation, local dev site, email, redmine, etc)
3. I run games when I want to have a break from the job. But I still keeping VMWare opened just in case something urgent happens.

If I do dual-booting then every time I would have to switch between Windows and Linux when I want to do X, not to mention loading times. That is how I use PC every day. That is why I have 32GB RAM and 8 core CPU.

I would never ever use windows to install packages I need for web development because it is a pain in the ass. I wouldn't even try bash for windows. Just try to compile Vue.js project with npm on NTFS filesystem with mount share (so you could use PHPStorm to edit code) using Vagrant box. It is impossible unless you symlink your node_modules to ext3 filesystem on Vagrant. Then try to use php-cs-fixer. Have to google how to install PHP on windows and then sometimes enable modules by hand, not to mention Composer. On Ubuntu it is super easy, like few commands in terminal and everything works.

I'm about to upload my first "bigger" site for a customer next few days and I'm pretty excited. I had to chose Rails here because reasons, but now I'm a little bit concerned about security.

So I have two questions:

-What is the purpose of using "Dokku"? Is it really easier for Rails deployment? Are there other advantages?

-How do you people secure your site? For a DigitalOcean droplet, do I need things like Fail2Ban or other measures?

isn't jQuery known to be pretty slow compared to vanilla JS? Over time these frameworks made incredible efforts to become as efficient as possible.

1. Headless dev box running sshd and ports forwarded for your development server. Shell in, interact with code and infrastructure purely via bash and vim, use your local browser to run the dev site.

Cons:
- Have to learn vim.
- Anything that requires a desktop environment with access to your working directory is out (notifications for automated tests, automatic livereload stuff [you could probably get this working seeing as it usually interacts with a remote debugging protocol port or something], etc.) unless it can be reasonably run over X11 forwarding, which is not much
- Some administrative work, setup auto DNS server stuff, NAT config, etc.
- Development files are big and will now be served to your browser over the network, which will be slower

Pros:
- Get to learn vim.
- Actually writing the code and interacting with your files is as fast as possible.
- Using your local browser won't suck because there won't be a ton of latency in the UI

2. Basically the same as above except with an sshfs mount. This will allow you to interact with your working directory as if it were on your local filesystem. All bash-y stuff still happens over SSH, but you use your local text editor / IDE.

Cons:
- You don't have to learn vim.
- Latency in your disk IO operations in your IDE. Some editors deal with this fine, others do not. Your mileage may vary.
- Might be confusing.

Pros:
- You can use your local editor as you normally would.
- All the other stuff from above probably.

3. Get a laptop.

Cons:
- Have to use a laptop.

Pros:
- None of this logistical nonsense.

>I couldn't find a benchmark, that would test these 3 against equivalent jQuery code
This is the important part of your statement. You couldn't find those comparisons because they don't even make sense. It's truly apples and oranges. React/Vue and jQuery fit into totally different spaces in the toolchain. They have orthogonal domains of purpose.

>>62280762
no

>>62280762
>isn't jQuery known to be pretty slow compared to vanilla JS?
jQ is a littler slower than vanilla, generally owing to some checks to support older browsers (although these days it's usually just the check as opposed to slowpathing which was the case early in the 1.x line). If you're worried about the performance of jQ it's almost always because it's size and corresponding impact on time to load. If you look at file sizes it's considerably smaller than any popular MVVM framework. It will also be closer to vanilla than any MVVM for runtime perf.

>>62280795
I've used sshfs and I can do administrative work, so it's not really troublesome.
The problem is that I need to run IDE on Linux as well because things like ESLint needs nodejs installed, so I have to install it on my Windows then, no way.

Vim is out of the question because I don't think I would be productive using that at any time soon. I don't fear SSH, configuration, etc but I do need text editor to be able navigate to classes, run auto-formatiing, ESLint, have macros, easy git operations (branching, stashing, pushing, etc), ability to connect to databases. I don't think Vim is able to do all of that out of the box ;)

So I guess my only option is to buy a laptop. Anyway, thank you for your efforts!

>>62280928
>navigate to classes
You can't do this better than lexically in dynamic languages, which vim will handle fine

>run auto-formatiing, ESLint, have macros, easy git operations (branching, stashing, pushing, etc), ability to connect to databases
Besides macros (vim has macros) these are not things you need from your editor. Especially git operations. Putting that in your editor is retarded, learn to use the command line like an adult. Also if you insist on frankensteining your editor to do things editors are not meant to do there's a huge plugin system and I promise you whatever terrible things you think your editor needs to do, someone's written a plugin to do it.

>>62280989
Yeah, I think you are actually right. Putting everything into a single editor is not a *nix-style way.

Let's see what can I replace editor features with.

Well, I think I can run one ESLint in a separate terminal. Could it be run as a daemon? Something like in `vue-cli` template, where it would show you the errors/warning after you have edited the line.
For databases I'm just using Adminer at the moment to navigate on tables and see structures.
For git I agree, the command line should be good, but here is the thing. I often find myself using "Git > Show History for Selection" and "Annotate" (puts latest changes with author and dates for every line of code). Do you think Vim or Sublime can do that? Also, often I find myself using checkboxes to commit only some of the files. Wouldn't that be tough using only command line?
For navigation, I'm using search by the string in the project and search by path. I guess Vim/Sublime does that pretty nice?

How many months would be a good amount to learn Javascript and PHP from scratch? I feel like I am rushing through them a little as I started with JS back in early June and have now paused it to commence PHP study. Is it too early to start with PHP after three months of JS from scratch /wdg/?

>>62281976
have you built anything with js?
if not, you haven't learned anything about it

>>62282000
Ooh, this brings me on to a new question. I have built a number of things with JS so I am confident about how a lot of it works. But the knowledge I have about JS comes from challenge sites (FCC, Codecademy etc), along with bits of information from books, reference sites and YouTube videos. Is this style of learning better or worse than structured academic study /wdg/?

>>62281976
I would say, it is impossible to say how many months is a good amount. If you are getting paid for the job you've done using these languages -- you are doing pretty good. If you are getting paid several months in a row -- you know them pretty well for the job you are doing. If you are not satisfied with the knowledge, read more books, create something difficult, try to find a more demanding job.

It is completely irrelevant how many months you've spent learning JS/PHP/anything. The only relevant thing is how much you've been paid for that knowledge and for how long. That is my opinion.

Basically, you don't need to know anything to start coding and earn some bucks as a freelance developer. But if you want to have a huge paycheck you have to show that you know your stuff, and that could take ages. But the thing is, you don't actually learn programming languages alone. You have to know how HTTPS works, what is load balancing, how to scale, system design, working in a team, code navigation efficiency.

Basically, you can use this competency matrix to see how good you are: http://sijinjoseph.com/programmer-competency-matrix/

>>62282065
Just ask yourself, whether you wouldbe able to build something by your own from scratch, without the structure or step-by-step instructions from one of those sites.
Learning by figuring things out for yourself in your own projects is vastly superior imo, since you are much more likely to retain new information and know how to apply it in a real practical situation

Is graphQL actually good or is it another back-end meme which will die in a few weeks?

>>62283047
It's pretty solid and the back end hasn't gotten a fun meme in a long time. winwin

>>62282071
so I'm looking at the chart and the first column is literally '1st week at school' but then there's the "Professional Experience: 1years" in the same column
really now, where do you even find this shit

Anyone familiar with asp.net core?

public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
    Configuration = configuration;
}

I know what an IConfiguration is and how to use it. I know that it's being dependency injected into the startup file. I just don't understand how I'm intended to use it? It seems to be empty by default. Am I supposed to load a configuration file into it in the Startup constructor? It'd be kind of pointless to be DI'd in that case. If I'm supposed to load a configuration into it, how do I even access it before Startup is built? Something buried in the WebHostBuilder?

>>62283809
If you can do all that is written in the first column then you can basically get a coding job for $5-8/h on Upwork.
The second column would give you $10-15/h on Upwork.
The third column is actually something like salary-based job from $70,000 a year (USA)
The fourth column is impossible to master in a reasonable time. You are making around 200,000 at this point or probably much more.

The point in this matrix is not about school-related knowledge vs CS degree but the complexity of being a software developer. It is not simply knowledge of programming languages and/or data structures/algorithms. No one would just hire top ACM coders if they lack domain knowledge, testing, communication, code readability, etc.

>>62283950
Okay, apparently you are supposed to set it in the extremely elegantly named "ConfigureAppConfiguration" method of the webhost builder.

Noob here.

can someone tell me why with this jquery snippet when I scroll back up my header doesn't reappear? Racking my head against the wall.

$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(document).scrollTop() > 150) {
$('#main').addClass('appear');
$('.appear').fadeIn(1000);
}
else{
$('.appear').fadeOut(1000, function(){ $('#main').removeClass('appear'); });
}

});


sorry I don't know how to add the code properly to this site. Here is a jsfiddle

http://jsfiddle.net/pu1yLe4u/38/

Any help is appreciated. Trying to learn so don't want a completely different workaround, unless my code is completely fucked

>>62284301
am I seeing a script insider the header element??
anyway,
style="display: none;"
remains on the #main element, probably as a result of the fadeout.
Try doing it with a transition property inside the CSS class instead.

>>62284449
Shouldn't there be a way to erase that with a callback or something? Also I used fadeout to target appear and not #main so why is it still targeting main?

Also that script won't work unless it's in the header for some reason.

I need to make a website with really retardfriendly cms and custom design, any advice? Customer says that he finds wordpress "a little bit too hard".

>>62284301
[coade][/coade]

>>62284584
Yeah
He wants something like Weebly, Wix or Tilda I assume. I don't know if they support custom designs tho

>>62284542
it's still the same element.
Are you trying to do a sticky header?
If so, just have it fixed right from the start ontop of some invisible spacer div with the same height or something.

>>62284301
reappear? am I supposed to see something vanish?

>>62284603
try ghost i guess

>>62284677
nvm had some js blcoks

>>62284635
Well the whole point is to learn something new. trying to figure out what's wrong with my code.

>>62284677
the top header disappears and the fixed one appears when you scroll down.

>>62284770
well I can add display:block !important to my #main to make it appear. I feel like that's just ducktaping the problem though.

>>62284845
I'm guessing removing the elemnt from the top fucks with

$(document).scrollTop() > 15

>>62284301
your logic is fucked

else{
    $('.appear').fadeOut(1000, function(){ $('#main').removeClass('appear'); });
    }

you have just faded out the header and expect it to appear in the top?

try adding

  $('#main').fadeIn(1000);

or smtn

>>62284845
really the fadeIn fadeOut thing is the wrong approach.
The only thing you would want is to toggle a class on #main, that applies modifications when you are scrolled.
Once back at the top the class is removed and the element is back to it's initial state all automatically, without the need to call any extra function.

>>62281407
>ESLint
Actually a linter is one of the few plugins I do use. Syntastic is nice because it's idea of code checker is a CLI program it runs periodically so it's usable with most static analysis tools with a very light adaptor layer, the ESLint one is out of the box.

>databases
I a believer in just using a DB shell. You should know SQL so there's no additional tooling you really need for administration. You learn to live without a visual schema pretty quick and your "from the hip" SQL gets better.

>I often find myself using "Git > Show History for Selection"
git log takes an optional filename which will make it show only commits that touched that file

>"Annotate" (puts latest changes with author and dates for every line of code).
git blame does this, Both these are builtin parts of the git CLI.

>Do you think Vim or Sublime can do that?
I for for a fact extensions exist for both if you really want to do it in-editor. I usually do it in a terminal window next to the editor but I can see the appeal of having it on the file itself instead of having to sync two scrollbars

>Also, often I find myself using checkboxes to commit only some of the files. Wouldn't that be tough using only command line?
I've never had issues with it, a well maintained .gitignore means I'm usually committing my whole tree most commits. When I do need to pick out individual files they're usually all in some subdirectory with no files I want to exclude in that dir, so I just add that

>navigation
Sublime created the popular ctrl+p fuzzy path search interface, there's a vim plugin that copies it. Both can do directory file contents search. That said I use `find` and `grep -r`. It takes a little more time to type out the commands (reduced by some simple aliases) but they're considerably more flexible (especially find which you could probably prove to be TC)

Is there any way I can do webdev online anonymously for money?

Like turn people's PSD files into Wordpress Themes in exchange for bitcoin?

>>62283047
Came across and interesting paper that found graphDBs generally fail to outperform a traditional RMDBS even on graph operations: https://event.cwi.nl/grades/2017/12-Apaci.pdf

So the value proposition of graphQL is in greater expressive power rather than DB perf. Whether or not it makes sense for you to use it depends on if you feel you need to express graph operations more naturally in your DB interface, I think in most cases the answer will be "no" but there will be counterexamples.

>>62285954
Fiverr and similar sites might allow you to be basically anonymous, but I think you need Paypal or something like that rather than Bitcoin.

Is it a waste of time to use older JavaScript frameworks or will it help learn new ones?

I'm current doing a short stint in a job as part of my degree and I've been assigned to an AngularJS project. Is becoming familiar with AngularJS going to give me any skills that might help in future frameworks or are the things you learn very compartmentalized? I'm concerned I won't take away much from it since I have no interest in using Angular 1 in my spare time.

>>62285954
For bitcoin? No. There are lots of freelance sites for web devs but the pay is usually pretty shitty and they collect your tax info, although you could probably conceal your identity from your clients.

If you really want to work for bitcoin you could try offering your services in creating/hosting hidden services but you'd almost certainly be doing illegal work, probably a lot of CP stuff.

Angular is like 5 years old bro. Contrast Spring is 14. COBOL, which still has a pretty good job market attached to it, is nearly 60. Tech lives longer than you think it does.

>>62285954
You could try posting on Craigslist or something, and say you'll take jobs for BTC.

I assume you're not interested in hosting the sites as well, since that would require ongoing contact with them. In that case you might want to help them get set up on a hosting platform and have them fill in their own payment details on there.

Got my 1st interview boyz

Hi Anon,

We like what we've seen and would love to meet with you in person to discuss the position further.

Please send me a couple times that may work for you in the next few days. I'll find what works and send you more details of where, when, and with whom.

We look forward to meeting you, Anon.

Regards,

So English is not my native but this line

Please send me a couple times that may work for you in the next few days

sounds really stupid to me, am i wrong?

>Tech lives longer than you think it does.
With AngularJS though it didn't really have that of a long time to establish itself, before Angular2/4 came around.
Businesses are still using it, but I wouldn't think that it will be the choice for new projects.
JS is notorious for rapidly changing frameworks and things that "are in" anyway, so it's probably good to know how to deal with the variety. Don't jump on the newest shit just because it's new, but also don't stick to outdated legacy frameworks, when obviously better options come around.

>>62286190

Because it sounds like it could have a different meaning.
Still obvious what the person wants in that context.
Just send him some possible dates and time that work for you.

>>62286336
is this a good answer anon

I am available next week at any day, any time. 

>>62286346
yeah sure,
unless you wan't to "appear busy" and make the impression, that you are also doing something "for them", by reserving some of your "valuable time" for the interview.
In that case it might be worth it to at least limit the possible options somewhat.
Basically telling them, that certain days or times would work better for you or that you are unavailable at other times unless absolutely nothing else would work for them.
Seem eager, but not desperate.

I am really talking out of my ass though. Good luck anyway.

>>62285914
>Sublime created the popular ctrl+p fuzzy path search interface
Pretty sure Textmate did. Sublime is basically a clone of Textmate, the only big "feature" they added was the retarded source minimap. Also multiple platform support, because Textmate was OSX only.
