>How to get started youtu.be/pB0WvcxTbCA - "WATCH THIS IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A WEB DEVELOPER! - Web Development Career advice" youtu.be/zf_cb_Nw5zY - "JavaScript is Easy" - If you can't into programming, you probably won't find a simpler introduction to JavaScript than this.
The teacher has been in google for half an hour looking how to convert dates in JS.
I'm serious.
Thomas Moore
What country? And why doesn't he know this already?
Christopher Sanchez
Chile. Dunno why, maybe he forgot or something. I told him to use unix timestamps because mysql has a function to convert them.
Ryan Morris
Damn lol.
Our teacher at least knew what he was doing. Still, when you have a whole lesson (1h30min) centered around working with timestamps, then you know something is not right.
Then a whole lesson about CRUD-ing with DBs.
Then, like a couple of lessons about basic PHP syntax AFTER we already had a full class in PHP before. They LITERALLY created a whole new class which was the same as the last one, only it had a part with database interactions. Terrible organization. That was definitely the worst subject I had.
Henry Rodriguez
And yeah, I have to mention that crushing feeling when you are exiting the class and feel like a worthless pajeet, just go home and sleep for the rest of the day.
Fucking hell, we even had an 1h 30min exercise in getting the string from the input and making sure it passes the given format. I made it in regex in 10 minutes, and the rest of the people all worked with multiple if/else statements FUCKING WHAT.
Nathaniel White
At least my classes were a bit more structured we got from basic PHP > OOP PHP > DB connection > front end JS > ajax
Ian Butler
I had one class with html, css and basic js. Second class with more advanced js, oop, ajax and other shit. Two already mentioned classes in PHP. 2/3 of one class was CSS animations.
That's it, but it could really all fit in 2 classes max. I mean, that's to be expected for a study like mine, but it should have been a lot better organized. It's not like I only had web dev courses but there were still too much of them.
Zachary Scott
What are you guys actually majoring in? BS CS? Or is it for some other IT program where they throw in some watered down web programming as an extra thing?
Ayden Carter
For me it's called "computing engineering". it's not a university major, a "professional degree" as we call it down here.
Colton Sanchez
Multimedia computing (or new media, or even informatics in some countries, but informatics does not mean cs in mine)
Basically, I learn about graphic and web design, I had some courses in photography and video production, but there's more classes in postproduction, also a couple of audio engineering and mastering classes. There were already mentioned web courses. I should emphasize that the first year is similar to cs programs, more theory.
That's undergraduate, and graduate has some business classes, some more postproduction classes and 3-4 3D classes. I'm not sure I'll go down that route. I could choose the software engineering masters or even go into digital marketing. But desu, I'm already feeling that I don't enjoy web dev or even programming in general that much.
Basically what you get from it - I have a knowledge of a full stack web development, can create beautiful user interfaces and even have some knowledge in marketing. Audio and video are not really connected to that though as I can already see most of the internships are in web dev (more of a front end though).
At the end of the undergraduates I'm not fully happy with it, but a wide array of different fields definitely changed my views and me as a person. I can enjoy all of them, but I am still finding myself. I don't think I would manage to be in development for a long time, I'm just a more "artsy" type and enjoy everything else much more.
Anyway, dunno what to do now, I'm kinda stuck with multimedia, or could go into full software eng. (which I would hate) and digital marketing (meh). I have a feeling I'll have to continue with multimedia for at least a one year and hopefully study something else (at least studying here is free (except this particular degree isn't because it is not part of the university, fuck me right?).

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking about going back to school (was going to get a business degree but dropped out due to lack of funds/interest) but not sure what to get into. I enjoy the backend portion or web development, and I want to enjoy frontend, but the artsy/design/UX shit is just beyond me.
If I don't end up finding something I'll get a lot out of, I'll probably just try to find a a school with a shitty pajeet-tier CS program that I can just skate through with minimum effort while learning everything myself just to get the piece of fancy paper at the end. Or maybe I'll just work in fast food my whole life and die from heart disease or something.
Hunter Collins
Is ASP Core viable on Linux yet? Can I at least host some REST services with some minor processing behind and connect EF with MySQL on it?
Andrew Brooks
The tooling is buggy so you might encounter issues (I couldn't get IntelliSense to work on Visual Studio Code, for example, and C#/.NET without IntelliSense loses part of its appeal), but overall it werks. Haven't tried EF on ASP.NET Core though.
Chase Nguyen
How much would you jabronis charge me to make a website? Really simple design bare bones. Maybe some sort of payment option on there
Nolan Powell
i have a div and there is a in the div when i put a long word in the the word flows out of the div how to stop it it should break
I just wrote a 50 lines of todo list in angular. Can I have a job now?
Isaiah Thomas
is web development hard
Grayson Adams
front end? not really, HTML5 is simple shit, CSS3 is kinda tricky but you have frameworks like Bootstrap to make it easier, javascript is a pretty shitty language, but if you have previous programming experience you'll get a hang of it pretty fast
else, Static site generated Pages with a strong templating engine like Jinja2 or whatever
Jason Thompson
assuming im not an idiot could i learn it in a summer?
Nicholas Cooper
Yes. It shouldn't take long to learn html/javascript/php.
Cameron Gomez
what's the best language for create system software?
Henry Roberts
Ask your brother pajeet.
Jacob Hall
Go/C/C++
Joshua Bailey
I want to create pic related, my issues are the following.
I want both the white containers to be the same height, however in the left box is a carousel of testimonials, that all take up a different height due to having a different amount of text in each.
How do I make it so that the right hand container stays the same height as the left hand, which is always the height of the largest testimonial?
Leo Lopez
display:table-cell;
Carter Clark
idk maybe max-height ?
Evan Butler
flexbox
Andrew Brooks
Put them both into a parent container, align:left and align:right respectively.
Brayden Howard
Parent must have display:table, too
Has to be calculated with JS, in that case. It's shitty to use JS for styling.
had big problems with the positioning because I suck there.. can also comment it if you see something wrong
Gabriel Young
borders are all rounded user, it's on your end.
Ryan Rivera
Damn moment.js
Xavier Lopez
i dont get it :/
Jace Kelly
...
Parker White
i get it, using chrome
Julian Myers
you cut off the right part.
Nathan Brown
idk whats happening.. on the live preview with brackets its like in my picture.. when I open the file with ff i dont see the logos how did I cut the right part ?
Cooper Martinez
That's why live preview is useless. Use a browser instead.
Wyatt Jenkins
so can you explain what I did wrong ?
Isaiah Peterson
>Multimedia
Fucking lol. Multimedia is fucking useless. Heard the phrase "jack of all trades master of none"?
You either need to go into full web development will all the database shit included or do full graphic design if you like the visual stuff.
I did multimedia. Waste of time. I liked art and hated code so it fucked me up. I'm a wedding photographer now.
Isaiah Green
Is requirejs still the way to go to modulize your code?
Sebastian Campbell
For those of you who are getting paid for website development, how do you figure your rates?
Matthew Peterson
you should undo the i {margin-right: 1.0em} ((index):111). Thats doing some funky shit with rounding on the div.
Tyler Cook
monthPay = How much I want to earn per month or how much I'd earn on a company doing the same thing freelanceMonthPay = monthPay * 2 committedHours = How many hours a month I'd work (default: 170~) hourRate = freelanceMonthPay / committedHours print(hourRate)
Henry Jones
>ranking sites by speed >can't even reach 80% on it with their own website
Alexander Lee
Yeah I'm afraid of that. I-it has only been 3 years, I could s-still go do a new study, r-right? I can do masters in something else after all.
How exactly did it fuck you up?
Anyway, I'm slowly starting to realize there is not much work for designers and editors here. I got a few calls for the internship and they are strict software shit, not even full web though.
>tfw company makes websites with microsoft sharepoint >tfw the other makes shit with java >tfw the third works with something I haven't even heard of >tfw now I realize I'd much rather work with some memers and chill doing meme js frameworks or even just do html+css and have fun in photoshop
I haven't even seen a day of work and I already realized I'd pretty much do everything except code. Maybe salary would change that.
Now I really don't see the point doing masters in multimedia at all, I'll just learn yet another thing (3D) and for this I am sure I couldn't possibly be on par with guys who did just that for a couple of years. I mean, I'm interested in that too, but I can learn it on my own if I want.
Shit, I still don't know what to choose and the final undergraduate year is over in 2 months...
Aiden Reyes
Given (monthPay * 2), how do you not get lowballed out of every job by pajeets?
Alexander Rivera
By aiming higher than those jobs. Even though pajeets are everywhere, there are some fields with a lower ratio. If you can only do HTML+CSS+JS/Wordpress, I've got some bad news...
Ryan Hughes
its 99 for mobile and 95 for desktop when I tried it
Asher Rodriguez
My friend is going to start a business soon and wants me to set him up with an online store. Is Magento the way to go?
Brayden Morales
If he can make great websites with awesome design, what's wrong with knowing "just" those technologies? Why do you consider that a pajeet tier?
Christopher Collins
Because the clients for the pajeet tier websites doesn't care about "great websites with awesome design" - they want cheap and quick websites that barely do the work they want. And "cheap and quick (and awful)" are Pajeet's Special Abilities. You can't compete with them there.
Jaxon Anderson
Adding: If you want to be safe from Pajeet's reach while creating websites with those technologies, you'll have to do more offline work by visiting local shops and such.
Matthew Russell
Who said anything about pajeet tier websites? What, can you not make a good website for a decent client with those technologies?? What should you use then to not be considered a pajeet?
Sebastian Martin
Sure you can, but you (or the other guy) were talking about "getting lowballed by pajeets". I assumed we were talking about pajeet tier websites like the ones you find on Workana, Freelancer, Elance, etc. And you lose there when you look for work with Wordpress for example.
Isaiah Rivera
>not realising that supporting all that deprecated shit is the real cancer Also, it completely depends on what kind of website it is, and what target audience uses it. Wanna know how I know you've never done front-end as a job?
Jeremiah Edwards
user, just make regular divs and use border-radius to make them rounder
Grayson Baker
why not something more widely known/used, like paypal?
(I don't have any experience with this, I am just curious)
Jack Brown
Fair enough. Yeah, I'm the different guy. Btw I did try freelancer for a week, but I only went through contests for design to practice a little. It is swarmed by pajeets but there are a lot of eastern europe countries too. Tbh pajeets and all the other asians are so shitty it's amazing. I kek'd so hard a couple of times when some guys, instead of a work, uploaded a picture with sentence "mr. Sir plese wait for my project, i am working on it ok". Yeah, they are usually pure shit and get declined, but sometimes they manage to win - it's obvious the clients don't have a good taste at all. That, combined with the feeling of being an extreme failure of life for using that site, made me run far away and I'm never going back.
Christian Diaz
will try, working now on the js part
Jonathan Edwards
implying I wont fuck it up more with more divs just removed the icons and added normal text, but will it anyway
Josiah Hernandez
>not just saying Braintree
Jonathan Ortiz
Nope. SystemJS into ES6 modules.
Chase Sanders
I've never looked into payment systems before, but I feel like I should know, if the situation arises and I need to use something.
Charles Campbell
>Angular 1 hehehe
Blake White
I love Polymer, but HOLY FUCK do polymer applications take long to start up in polyfilled browsers.
What is google thinking? If this is seriously the next big thing, the thing they'll use for YouTube and that they expect us to use, why aren't they giving this more thought?
It works amazingly well in Chrome and I really love the way you work with standards conforming web components with some optional sugar, but holy crap... I can't bring myself to create anything in it.
Austin Green
Yeah it's old, I went through some other course.
But idk of they work with older angular or angular 2.
Brody Murphy
>SystemJS Don't you mean the newest meme loader webpack?
...Seriously, I don't understand these build systems and bundlers. I know some fucked up programming languages well and some bad tooling, but JS's is absolutely disgusting.
Samuel Hill
SystemJS is just a polyfill until the ES6 module standard is implemented natively. They use the same syntax.
Samuel Gutierrez
Yeah well fuck it I just can't keep up with all this. Just gonna use require.
Kevin Hughes
Ok /wdg/ you have convinced me that Go is great stuff. What is the best way for learning it?
Oliver Cook
So you use Systemjs with some long-ass multistep gulp-shit with babel-faggotry? I can't stand this shit. I'll kill the people who make these tools.
