Will becoming a web developer allow me to work from home? Are any of you here working from home as a web developer now? I need to know. My normie land wagecuck job is killing me.
Anthony Smith
If you enjoy freelancing and getting payed less than POO IN LOOS then sure, but any real web dev job requires you to be on site to communicate with your team members.
Ethan Davis
It's easier to work from home as freelance after you've been at a company for a while and see how it's done.

I'm not sure if this belongs here.
I have a basic knowledge of python, however, I want to focus on Web Development and networking (especially networking) . Where do I start?
Thank you
Parker Clark
A lot of places like coding bootcamps and entry positions want to see a twitter account or some sort of social media.
Is there an easy way to set up a Twitter that makes me seem like a normie and get a few followers and shit?
Gavin Garcia
Why do some colo facilities like to keep their exact location a secret? Is it that dangerous to reveal your actual datacentre location?
Liam Scott
lmao what the fuck kind of shady bootcamp are you looking into
just set up an instagram and follow a bunch of people, you'll immediately get some follows (some bots). Twitter's bots are way more obvious. And then just take two pictures a day.
If they explicitly care about twitter, it's because they want to see your outreach in the dev community - and that's much harder to fake
Christian Gomez
Well thanks for giving me the hard truth. I guess I'll abandon all hope now.
Hunter Flores
it's not as hard as people make it out to be, if you treat it like real work not as a hobby :) then it's ez to make lots of moneyy
James Walker
I might give it a go. Is it really possible to learn everything yourself and get a job just off that? I really don't think I can go back to school, but I do have a few hours of free time each day.

If you're a TNC/MNC, it's less the data in them, more the employees and other stuff you need to protect.
Or just learn social skills, and find a thing you can do in life that you actually like.
I didn't get into web development because I was looking for the easiest highest-paying job available. I do it because I've been programming as a hobby and dabbling with this shit for fun since 2003. I like going to work, its fun. Now I get paid to do what I would have been doing as a hobby anyway.
Find something you like doing.

>coding bootcamp >only complete noobs apply >they want to see my developer community outreach through twitter.
wat?
I do webdev for a living, I don't even have Twitter.
Most likely its a pyramid scheme and they want to use their students to spam their shitty bootcamp so that other idiots will pay for it.
Ian Hill
why the fuck is this image a jpeg and not a png
is it supposed to be spoofing w3c logo cause it looks nothing like it. wrong color, font is too wide compared to pic related
(though I'm used to seeing the blue on white logo since that's the one that's used on all the web specs)
Levi Johnson
again.
I have written some code (in Java) that gets the current time in the ASCII format specified.
What would be the best way to get this onto a webpage? What about having it update when the time changes?
Thanks again.
Jonathan Clark
>What would be the best way to get this onto a webpage? Rewrite it in a better language, called Javascript.

Did you read my OP? What would be the best way to re-implement it?
Leo Johnson
who /vue 2.0 with jsx/ here? also there needs to be a webpack-2.0 vue-cli template. the vue-cli templates are among some of the best default webpack configurations ive ever used.

I'm rebuilding my portfolio site and want to make it with actual RESTful URLs,
Is there a way to do this without routing?
Thomas Roberts
i'm building something that checks a url and returns to the user information about what's on the page
would it be bad practice to just use jquery and ajax for this?
Jack Taylor
What kind of interview questions should I expect for a "application developer" position with html/css/js with Python and sql?

dude I jus typed "wdg" in google and hoped for the clasic OP picture, just picked a random image
Jacob Williams
>What would be the best way to re-implement it? How am I supposed to answer this without basically writing all the code for you?
Parker Brown
How do I do
if X == "Whatever 1" or "Whatever 2" {
in go? I can't find a clear answer on what or is
Blake Hernandez
jquery and ajax would only display what is returned. You would need a server side code to run a curl on the remote url to fetch the content
How do I declare a variable in Go without declaring the type?
this var X not var X int
Elijah Reed
Just retweet a bunch of random click bait shit and rant about politics like everyone else. You'll also seem super hipster cool if you follow Paul Irish
Alexander Perry
you have to declare the type unless you're assigning it to something. If you're assigning it, the compiler can infer the type.
James Richardson
But what if I want to wait for the user to assign it?
Anthony Richardson
then you should either reevaluate whatever you're trying to do or switch to a weakly typed language.
Oliver Foster
>How do I declare a variable in Go without declaring the type? are you stupid?
don't answer that, I already know.
Jeremiah Ramirez
Okay. I'm gonna ask it. Why does everyone hate Java for web applications running on servers? I'm talking large, complex software applications, not a CRUD app.
I use it because: Java is fast, high level, easy to develop, and huge community of open source software written in Java. Don't want to pay for/pirate Windows Server and SQL Server, so no point in using C#. Python is slower. C++ and below are too low level for what I'm doing. Go... haven't used Go. Primarily don't use it because it is too new and a meme language. Haven't used Ruby. Mainly never tried it because it's slow and kind of a meme language.
Why is Java bad again?
Ryan Phillips
Second interview they want me to "code an HTML email".
That's just an HTML template right? I've never done that but it sounds piss easy, any tricky components I need to be aware of?
Josiah Parker
>download web design course >see pic related >lose confidence in instructor
Jackson Peterson
>Why does everyone hate Java for web applications running on servers?
If the basis of that assumption is made up of what you see on /wdg/, then you really need to ignore it. If you want to know the true pros and cons you really should be looking elsewhere.
If Java works for you then so be it. Every application will have its use based on the type of app you're making.
I've worked with just about every mainstream language and I'll tell you PHP is my favorite - but the general consensus here is that you're a 'pajeet' for even using it. Do you, senpai.
Luis Adams
>he doesn't want to learn how to make a wanderful page
You're not gonna make it
Eli Thomas
>Java is fast Premature optimization
There's no point in shaving a few CPU cyles off when you're going to be waiting for millions of CPU cyles while a network request to resolve.
The requirements of most web applications will be met just fine with pretty much whatever language you want to use. No language is going to magically make all technical debt and problems disappear.
>high level Except when you have to fuck around with threads and shit.
>easy to develop lel, pic related.
>and huge community of open source software written in Java. So does every other language.
>Don't want to pay for/pirate Windows Server and SQL Server, so no point in using C#.
So you're developing "large complex software" but you're not a company who can pay for things, you're doing it alone in your bedroom instead. Okay
>Why is Java bad again?
Personally I don't want to learn or use Java because don't trust Oracle at all.
Oracle's MO with stuff that they've acquired which isn't printing money for them, like Openoffice and Opensolaris, is to basically forget about it. Java EE is another property that isn't printing money for them. The Java EE 8 specification was approved in 2014, but release is still supposedly being sometime next year?
That's quite a fucking long release cycle.
Plus they keep trying to sue the shit out of Google. which is fucking stupid.

Don't be this cocky first of all. Email clients are not like web browsers and much buggier. There are different best practices. Javascript is not supported. You can't use too many styles in the head and you have to use a lot of inline styles. Images have to be hosted on your server and linked with an absolute path. I would read up a little more
Julian Murphy
Its fine, I'm sure he salts and hashes the passwords in the database. Looks totally safe.
Carter Walker
Who has experience with cloud hosting providers?
I'm build a small webapp but want to host the different parts in their own instances. So there will be a database server, main site delivery server and another server for cron tasks that populate the database with things periodically. I've only ever messed around with vps's so am I right in thinking if I want to use digital ocean I have to pay for 3 of their plans to get this kind of setup? same with AWS etc. Just wondering how this kind of setup works.
Ignore the fact that it's a small project I just want to learn how this cloud hosting stuff works for now, assume it has to scale up eventually.
Adam Cooper
it's very secure
Eli Sanchez
>am I right in thinking ya pretty much what you said.
Jayden Garcia
Oh, he added the action, apparently. Earlier in the course he just left it blank. I thought it was just an example.
Lincoln Cook
What are the chances for a VPS hosted server (gunicorn under nginx) running an app to crash randomly (and thus need billable sysop maintenance), as compared to a shared hosting ? (I have yet to see a heroku app crashing)
Easton Hill
Am I missing something? You can't determine if it's secure or not if you can't see how the server side code procsses the form. The html is fine
Henry Sanders
I thought the action attribute was left blank, and was making a joke, because it didn't do anything. I didn't realize at some point he added a .php file.
Jose Bennett
This may be a stupid question. Are there any services that host free "redirection security" (I use the term security very loosely) pages, like those on forums?
William Jackson
Anyone know of a good tutorial for JS Promises?
Joseph Wright
Should I be learning PHP? I already know JS and the premise of learning Node and sticking to just one language for everything is very tempting.
Hudson Hall
PHP is super fucking easy to learn, so it really wouldn't hurt. Plus it makes you more marketable.

I am new to writing JavaScript... I am writing a communication protocol between two websockets and I am not sure I am doing this correctly.
I want to wait for a message and then react based on what state I am in.
While loops are forbidden in JavaScript, so should I just use a recursive loop or should I make a dispatcher model?
It feels like I am writing Assembly again. How are you supposed to do?
Daniel Adams
>reading a javascript textbook >wrote 5 pages of notes today and my hand hurts >still not very far
Ryan Hughes
try ember
Luis Kelly
Angular 1 just because there's so many resources and just makes sense.
React if you wanna be cool, and it's still pretty easy but just unnatural at start.
Kayden Watson
Trying to change an element's display from none to block through JS, but it's not working. It works with display none, but changing display to block does nothing. Any ideas?
Just doing this btw: document.getElementById(id).style.display = "block";
Levi Phillips
Thanks user, this seems really comfy.
I'm a little bit limited this time around, but I may refactor it using this in the future
William Adams
Made a "search for users" system for my site, but the results look really ugly. How would you guys suggest styling the results?
Alexander Bennett
Try mysql.
Dylan Green
what's the point of having a small search box when the wrapper is so big anyway? the box being small and then getting bigger doesn't save any space. add more info to the autocomplete, add their avatars, number of pokemon or team composition as tiny images, anything don't make the result just a plain link list. what's the point of having the autocomplete and a list after searching? why not just use the autocomplete alone, this seems to be an unnecessary step/click.
Luke Reed
that's exactly how it works, you fucked up something else.
Logan Kelly
Promises are amazing as long as you're not a baddie and try treating them as callbacks, nesting them inside of each other.
Why won't the back button work. I know its giving the correct radio button the checked property, but it won't display as checked on the webpage.
Michael Reyes
>dispatcher model I use this with a map of message types to functions. Works pretty well.
Christian Martin
when you click next you set choice to -1. so clicking back afterwards checks if -1 is equal to the index of the checkboxes, which is never true. besides, you rerender the checkboxes. your reference would have been lost. the element no longer exists.
doesn't seem to make any sense.
Grayson Gonzalez
>when you click next you set choice to -1. so clicking back afterwards checks if -1 is equal to the index of the checkboxes, which is never true.
'choice' is set to the index of the checked radio button as next is clicked. If the user was to click back, 'choice' would still be equal to that index therefor the function should check the button at that index. My problem is getting the code to render this.
Julian King
How do I check with js if an iframe loaded a certain file?
Adrian Scott
reading this as a noob and I already found 2 critical errors in the code after 38 pages
have someone finished this book, the content seems to be fine ?
Jonathan Garcia
because the element is gone. what happens if you click back twice? you only store the last choice.

can you post the pages and point out the error?
