So Javascript objects are pretty much the same as Ruby and Python dictionaries?
Except in Javascript the key "string" will be the same as the key string.
Am I learning this right?
Michael Stewart
Yeah, JavaScript objects are basically maps of strings to values. They're slightly different to, say, Ruby Hashes because they don't allow any type of object to be a key, just strings (and recently, Symbols.) If you use something that isn't a string as an index, it's coerced to a string, so myObject[7] is the same as myObject['7'].
Also you shouldn't actually use JavaScript objects like real dictionaries unless you're aware of all the edge cases, it's just convenient to think of them like that. For example, if you use an object to map usernames to user objects, someone could make a user with the name '__proto__' and just ruin your day.
It's an internal property used by JavaScript to keep track of the object's prototype chain. I can't remember if it's just not writable or if assigning to it changes the prototype because you're not supposed to use it directly. It might depend on the browser/runtime.
Christian Diaz
I'm working on my first Node.js project ever (a MAL clone). Should I look into Meteor.js or Express.js? Which technologies / environments would be the best for such a project?
Leo Morgan
Hey, I'm new to Web Dev too. How did you learn Javascript? I'm still figuring out how CSS works
Nathan Rogers
Does anyone here work in a web-dev related job?
What does your day look like?
Leo King
And I thought I knew alot about JS...turns out I know fuck all.

Matthew Johnson
why bitbucket?
Jaxson Taylor
free private repo's
github is full of fucked up sjw's
Thomas Diaz
nice
Jaxon Reed
Express is fine. Meteor uses MongoDB, so avoid like the plague.
Eli Edwards
which type of database would you recommend then? All I've ever tried is MySQL, but I bet it's not the preferable option nowadays.
Tyler Diaz
mariadb, postgre
Carson Hernandez
Use postgresql.
Easton Taylor
MySQL is still the industry standard. MariaDB is a modern fork that most people (and big companies use. It has the reliability of MySQL but with modern features and it's hella fast.
Brandon Young
Would node.JS be suitable for a website selling digital products? I've already learned quite a bit of Python because I was going to learn Django but I'm not sure if I should anymore.
Charles Hernandez
Depends on how your data is structure. If you make a document per user and query statistics with map-reduce-*, NoSQL is fine. I recommend RethinkDB, Riak or CouchDB. Otherwise PostgreSQL/MariaDB.
Evan Myers
Python would do the job fine, you don't have to use django
Robert Lewis
You know what I always found ironic?
PHP is a shit langauge, but the guy who made it is pretty cool. Rails is an cool piece of software, but the guy who made it is an asshole.
Makes you think..
Justin Morales
Either is fine. Pick whichever you are more comfortable with.
Nolan Brown
github has pronounced themselves against the evil, dangerous white women
Henry Moore
this really made me think
Mason Hughes
I want to make a website that I can put on my portfolio that actually does something cool. It's so hard to come up witb ideas that are not lame and/or too easy.
Cooper Gomez
Linux is also pretty good and we all know Torvalds is an asshole. Asses make the best software.
Matthew Jones
Eventually you get to a place where you have a backlog of ideas that you would love to work on but don't have any time for.
Nicholas Stewart
That's pretty neat, not sure when I'd use it but it's pretty cool.
Justin Russell
It's mostly just sitting at a desk doing bullshit websites and html5 ads, you eat lunch at some point, maybe go for a cigarette. It's nothing to write home about. People are usually quite nice though.
Nathaniel Allen
Things like that are nice for having if you are tired of alt-tabbing. Just pop the module onto your application and go from there.
Luis Gutierrez
can't you just leave work when you get your work done?
Caleb Fisher
>willingly making ads fuck you
Brandon Green
Work is work, I get paid for it and most of the time it's kinda fun, I even made my own html5 animation editor complete with timeline and a 10k runtime. We use it for all our ads now and even sell it on the app store.
Landon Johnson
It varies as I'm a designer/developer for a startup. Today has been mainly sat in Visual Studio hoping it doesn't crash, other days I'll be designing frontend all day.
Caleb Bell
>complete with timeline What's that?
Joshua Phillips
what might trigger an error here regarding the mysql?
// mysql-connection.js: var mysql = require('mysql');

Is there a good crash course to Ruby on Rails and Angular.js for a backend developer, to be able to do stuff in 1 to 2 months?
I'm going to read the tools and use their official documentation/handbooks I wanted to ask the Sup Forumsentoomen present because I trust the opinion random strangers with above average IQ.
is there something like learn Angular/RoR in the same fashion as Laracasts or Learn C/Python the hardway?
I do NOT know node.js, and I assume that if I know javascript I can take up angular fairly easy or in parallel while learning Angular. I come from a Groovy (Java), Django, Laravel (etc like Worpdress, Joomla) background so using MVC or DevOps stuff like vagrant, docker, aws, PaaSes, isn't something new to me.
I want a better job since where I currently am, only do small php backends or Wordpress themes, and I think while it is fairly easy it will stagnate my development in the long run.
>TL;DR what's Sup Forums 2-months max crash course for Angular.js or Ruby on Rails?

Benjamin Stewart
Thanks, I was looking for a nice php shell for pentesting but i couldn't find anything that used ajax, you'd have to make a POST per command and wait for a full refresh, then it kinda just started expanding from there into a shell-clone.
Learn Angular 2 it's going to be in high demand next year.
Owen Jenkins
You should watch in the Crockford on JavaScript lectures in the op if you want a more in depth explanation of how the language works for someone who can already program.
Jace Martin
Thanks for confirming all of my preconceptions about php dev shops
Brody Scott
So you had prior experience to get hired as the senior dev?
Seems strange to me that people hire senior devs outside of their company.
Are people inside the company really that useless? It's now more painful that I still cannot find a web developer job.
Christopher Davis
If only we had some sort of sticky that answered this? Read a fucking book.
Oliver James
>Angular 2 it's going to be in high demand next year.
Legitimately? Or are we talking "Cali start up" high demand.
Michael Sullivan
Why didn't any of you niggers tell me about Elm before? It's fantastic.
Hudson Richardson
it's too new to tell if it's actually gonna be popular. if it was just angular but better it would be for sure, but it's completely changed.
Benjamin Lee
Because TypeScript exists. Admittedly the Java parts of it are cancer, but the ES6/7 parts are solid.
Carson Sullivan
elm is pretty good if elm doesn't do enough for you (e.g. server side rendering), try purescript + pux
Liam James
literally read the OP.
Robert Rogers
building the tic tac toe game for the freecodecamp challange
currently building the UI and I think I'm doing it the hard way I want to make 9 X and 9 O with canvas that will be toggled during the game (havent coded it yet) so I have to build 18 canvas elements and calculate the positions for each of them.. this is not difficult but I think there is a better way can you give me some tips
Test-Driven Development with Django - 10/10 very solid guide teaching you how to create clean, safe code with TDD. Even gets into depth with basic DevOps and JS tests
Javascript: The Good Parts - 7/10 informative, but it doesn't tell you a variety of things to avoid. It's mostly just patterns
angularjsbook.com - Just starting it. I probably won't use angular at any point considering it's a very heavy framework and Django is already a heavy framework, but I am loving the idea of it. I'll probably read up on knockout.js, react.js, backbone.js, etc just to see which one would fill my need most
Cameron Walker
>above average IQ.
lol

A book on Spring MVC. Bit of a learning curve but the modularity is impressive.

Protip: Don't use github if you care about security.
Eli Foster
>Don't use github if you care about security. Nobody does for professional private projects. A private repo costs money, whereas you can get it pro bono on bitbucket
Elijah White
you'd be surprised how many semi-reputable companies do it, and then add a bunch of members that keep reusing their passwords everywhere. from the 000webhost dump alone, I managed to find a few hundred active accounts with major private repositories.
Noah Stewart
Thinking of creating a programming meetup for my area since we dont have any. Does anyone have experience with them? What are some essentials for meetups like this?
Hunter Murphy
We use bitbucket, too, but many use github, pecause bitbucket charges per user.
Zachary Hill
top kek Yes, i can actually work at home most of the time
David Cruz
>Nobody does for professional private projects.
Jackson Cooper
a-user, you're not suggesting..
Connor Carter
My work does.
I don't know why since we're such a small company it'd probably be way cheaper with bitbucket.
Benjamin Turner
>his company doesn't use Beanstalk m8s...
Blake Campbell
Pretty sure you could manage with one canvas- just redraw it when something changes. And keep data in array. And you could probably get relative coordinates from lick event. Fuck i think i will try to create my version tomorrow if i will still remember it.
Blake Perry
We just self-host with GitLab, straightforward
Parker Collins
What the HTML attribute that already has text contained inside say an input box. A placeholder is greyed out, but some ones do have text that can be posted?
Sorry for explaining like a retard
Nicholas Martinez
...
Gavin Ross
Are you sure the box actually lets you post it unfilled purely through html? It's possible that in the backend, it changes an unfilled box's text into the default placeholder
Elijah Ross
What I am looking to do is input a URL to the front end, back end processes the HTML, parses it and scrapes of stuff it needs. From the scrapings, that populates the form. In the meantime while regexes get nurtured, the user can check the input and amend if necessary before it gets posted to the web server.
Noah Scott
what's the deal with web devs who live and die by meteor? It's such shit
Grayson Butler
I've been working on an imageboard software that I wrote. A kind user in a previous thread "hacked" it (put some js into a text-box I'd forgotten to escape or filter.) This is useful to me, as it helps me find bugs I may not have otherwise discovered so soon, so please continue to do this if you feel so inclined. I'm also looking for someone to help me with the front-end; I don't have an eye for design. I'd also like any opinions or suggestions you have to improve the software.
A live site is running here: 4tran.bid The software is free and open-source, and can be found here: github.com/4tran/VIB
Jeremiah Myers
Why is it called tran? Are you a tranny?
Also, I'm not sure about the black, a softer colour may be more appropriate, a really light pastel colour.
You also need to harmonise the font colour, perhaps make divs a different colour from the background too
Zachary Ward
I'm not very creative. Whenever I name something, I kind of just pick whatever pops into my head. Fortran is what first came to me, and then I thought "if I replaced the for with a 4, then it'd look sorta like Sup Forums." Could you give me some examples of colors to use? I'll try them, then take a screenshot, and you can tell me what you think about them when it's applied to the site.
Carson Russell
Probably because of FORTRAN
Jeremiah Anderson
Working on an expense tracker web thingy. Most of the UI is built with google closure library controls, but I want to style them.
What's a good CSS framework that does not impose their own JS functionality, i.e. style-only? Preferrably themeable.
Can be LESS or SASS, too.
Bourbon looks good, or would you go with something simpler like purecss or skeleton and modify it?
Adrian Cook
>I'd also like any opinions or suggestions you have to improve the software.
Try to keep your view and actual code separate. The file thread.php alone is a clusterfuck for me to understand since it mixes both the view and the logic to retrieve a thread and its posts. You usually try to keep these 2 apart.
Second, your commit log is all but helpful since with nearly all commits I can't make out what you've actually changed.
203
Matthew Perez
I'm new to php (which I'm sure is obvious to you.) I'm also new to project management in general. Could you go into further depth what you mean by "separate view and logic," as well as provide an example of what that would look like/how I would manage to do such a thing? Also, you're right, my update log isn't really helpful. I'm terrible at commenting and such, but I'm going to work on it.
Dylan Smith
What's the easiest way to implement a signup with paypal while you're still developing from your own computer? (i.e. localhost)
afaik, paypal needs to send a message back to you when its done, and you can do that with localhost.
Basically, this link should help. The background colour of your imageboard should be the lighter colour and your divs should be darker.
In your case, black could work, but you need to make your divs charcoal, or gun metal gray. Text should maybe me black again or a softer grey with more white.
I would personally go with a nice pastel blue on the background and dark pastel blue as the div, try it out see what it looks like. It's quite similar to this board.
One thing I should mention, don't worry about copying other site's styles. Just think, Facebook and Twitter both have a blue theme, just imagine if they both were red or green, wouldn't look right would it? So safe bet is always blue, some people I'm sure have done research on why blue is better which you can read up on, connotations of calm or whatever bullshit, but your own eyes won't lie.
Look at orange + green, if you think its horrible then you have an eye for what goes. If it doesn't bother you then yeah, you need someone else to help
