Just top:10px; left: 10px; and a high z-index with position: fixed?
Anyone have any good mobile nav bars? Was thinking about hamburger menu with a JQM panel.
Eli Gonzalez
Why don't you just use float: left;?
Chase Watson
I've been using CSS for 17 years and I still don't understand float.
Oliver Perry

Brandon Nguyen
It just takes some element and pushes it as far left or right as it can go.
John Clark
If there was a good definition of float and it worked consistently every time then I might know about it.
Different things work differently for everything. Like left: 20px won't work for everything, so you have to margin which also doesn't work every time. Ever try to vertically align an image? Welp, better do some image size hack because it doesn't align from the top of the image.
CSS is balls.

Can someone help me decide on a language to write something with only textual user input and doesn't need sessions? Preferably usable with an SQL database but I suppose plain text files are OK too.

Yes, say more. Seems like you're clutching at straws.
Noah Scott
Building a seedbox manager using lumen and I can't be arsed to do html. Any good administration panel templates out there?
Connor Miller
>new af >having fun figuring out how to set up a localhost >its set up and finish >tfw don't know what to do next i don't know what to do anymore. I wanted to set up a sql table that referenced video files, and which i could call through a search bar with php, but i'm lost as fuck. I can't stand learning to do all this through tutorials like codecademy. Ugh....
Brayden Baker
Will I ever make money through my own website and become a NEET?
Dominic Murphy
yes
Thomas Myers
You sure about that? :(
Xavier Allen
yes. just work on it.
Landon White
On SQL, since PRIMARY KEYs can't be null, is there a point to putting NOT NULL with it?
Liam Rodriguez
I don't need much to live a comfy NEET life, I already finished the HTML exercise of Codecadamy, it's fun so far.
Gabriel Ward
I have 2 months to find a remote job. I've finished Free Code Camps front end cert, used to mess around with PHP 7-8 years ago and have enough Ruby that I can put up simple, clean sites ala Jekyll. My question is this, should I keep on with FCC and other MEAN based stuff or should I pivot to Wordpress and spend the next few weeks learning that? Which is the quicker, if not more lucrative, way to a freelance/remote paycheck?
Gavin Murphy
Learning is easy and the most fun part.
>read book on language you want to learn >work on passion project as you read through book >Google problems you can't solve
Never copy/paste code. Read how to do it. Read the code posted. Code it yourself. Don't reference the code until you've been lost for over 15 minutes.
Yes. It's not difficult.
Hunter Peterson
what type of data type should i use in SQL to store references to filepaths?
Ryan White
why is React so based?
Owen Richardson
I can't stop writing ugly code.
What can I do better here?
Lincoln King
and yes, I just realized I have data-role as role on the home buttons.
Those are going away.
Eli Myers
I use a TINYTEXT.
Brandon Cook
>comments in HTML code
Jason Torres
Single page app. Figured it was important.1
Kevin Martinez
What are you talking about? The only thing you could have done to make it look better is to remove a few of the blank lines and indent a few so they fall within their parent div.
Grayson Sanchez
Maybe that's it. Those few lines per page with no indentation.
This is what I get for years with no indentation at all.
Colton Howard
Try coding in Python for a few hours, you'll have no choice but to pay attention to indentation. :)
Aaron Bailey
just to make sure I guess
Jacob Young
can someone teach me angularjs?
Andrew Wilson
I'm a Python dev. How does this look?
Lincoln Williams
>html >code
Noah Perez
Doesn't fucking matter how Python looks, there's only one way to write it.
Jaxon Torres
Just look at the picture.
You saying it's not? Let's debate this. What is this markup language interpreted as?
Jeremiah Campbell
Yes, someone can.
Jeremiah Price
go with React
Angel Diaz
Are the people that teach shit at bootcamps actually good?
Like really REALLY good?
They make 140k where I live and the average FAMILY income is 50k combined here.
Do you have to be god tier or can I show them a website that gets more traffic than theirs and maybe land the gig?
I rightfully have imposter's syndrome.
Jeremiah Gomez
most of them are software engineers turned web dev geeks, yes they are smart.
Gavin Ramirez
Guys. I want to make a chrome-extension.
How do I do this?
I need to be able to access any kind of sound apis, and networking apis.
Is there an agreed upon great guide for PHP? It seems like it's not really taught in courses much anymore, but I see a lot of job listings for it.
John Morgan
Just set out to achieve something and figure out how to do it? I learnt all about PHP by making a blog with an account system and shit. Use PDO for databases and disregard anything
Ryan Hill
Cheers, I guess stumbling around with reference pages for a few hours to get something done is the best way to learn in end.
Adrian Sullivan
it's the only way to learn stuff sempai
Ayden Diaz
Damn straight.
Don't copy/paste. Read what they did to solve the problem and attempt to solve it yourself. It's easy to copy/paste from stack overflow but you won't learn a damn thing most of the time.
Any book is good, but a lot of them have bad practices. Agreed with user, definitely use PDO.
Once you can make a retarded version of Twitter then you are good to go.
why the fuck is this not working ? the image is show, but almost every day the window is in a different and random size.
Isaiah Martinez
Actually, using things before you fully understand them can be a good way to learn.
Joshua Martin
pasted a supposedly working link, changed it's link and it works ! then changed my link to be the same as the first one, i mean both are 100% identical, mine still doesn't respect the height and weight...
Nathan Robinson
I'm finally learning back end. I'm reading about REST routes and how they're supposed to be laid out, but what if for example I have a blogpost I want to update without needing to go to another page? Edit them on the fly instead of going to /blogs/:id/edit ?
Joseph Nguyen
javascript to turn the blog post into a text form and a save button which sends that new text to the database, then reload the page?
Ryan Martin
i know I could just do that, but if I do I stop following the REST pattern?
Dominic Ward
I don't really care about patterns like that
Asher Williams
I fucking hate jquery I fucking hate javascript I fucking hate MVC I fucking hate the web I haven't written a single line of code since yesterday because I need to use the fucking jquery to continue
Fuck everything
Adrian Reyes
What are the counterparts in the MEAN stack for the LAMP stack? MongoDB/MySQL, NodeJS and Express/Apache, JavaScript/PHP?
LEMP or bust Linux / NGINX / MYSQL / PHP the holy quadfecta(though to be fair I've only ever used MYSQL, I'm interested in postgresql)
Lincoln Sullivan

Gavin Garcia
literally what else would you use for breaking lines
Lincoln Lee
the Hartl book is starting to become really confusing I am at chapter 8 right now.
And it seems like I only know half of the things that he is talking about.
It seems really confusing especially after coming from just JavaScript/css
Is there a rails book that goes slower? for slow people.
Grayson Brown
if you find rails hard i suggest you give up and go shovel dirt instead
theres literally no hope for u
Xavier Long
Overall though I kind of like the book, I sort of get Test driven development. It is nice to actually use git for projects and get used to it.
I also like the layouts and stuff that saves code you have to write.
What I don't understand is Controllers.
Application controllers/test controllers what ever controllers.
jesus.

James Evans
You don't. You use CSS to space everything
Logan Cooper
Anyone?
Fastest route to a job, Wordpress or MEAN?
Benjamin Lewis
Stop trying to make MEME stack a thing, it's not a thing. With node, you can use any or no frontend framework, any or no backend framework, and pretty much any database. Mongo is an objectively shit database, angular 1 is obsolete, angular 2 is a pile of broken beta shit, and express is...Actually express is pretty good.
Point is, stop locking yourselves into a "stack". Different tools are good for different jobs.
Angel Williams
WP will get you a job faster, MEME will get you a job that pays more than McDonalds.
Levi White
Let's say I'm running react on the front end and node/express on the back.
Which should handle the routing? I've seen a set up suggested that express only serves a bare html page at a wildcard route, while react handles all of the actual routing.
Jacob Hall
I also want to know, react seems to do a job express also does and I don't know how to combine the two.
Matthew Rivera
React (or any other frontend framework) "routes" let you use a url to represent a certain state within your single page app so the user can bookmark urls and use the browser back button like a more traditional non-SPA site.
Typically you would then use Express's (or whatever backend you're using) routing to serve up API endpoints and hit them indirectly with AJAX calls.
If you're not making a SPA, you could have the user hit the routes directly and build pages dynamically from templates, or serve up static html (although in production, you'd want to use something like nginx for that).
Hope that makes sense.
Xavier James
Anyone using angular here? I've been working with ionic and came across a strange syntax, I'm not sure how to create a service in:
angular.module('app.services', [])
.factory('BlankFactory', [function(){
}])
.service('BlankService', [function(){
}]);
why are there square brackets around functions?
Hunter Myers
Use if you want. You can also use to divide it from the rest.
Gavin King
for dependency injection.
Jayden Gray
I'm finding it really hard to grasp JS. I learned a bit using FreeCodeCamp but I couldn't do the projects with my basic knowledge so I'm reading Eloquent JavaScript right now. However, it's killing me. I understand it eventually if I search for an explanation online but not enough to apply it myself. Sometimes I just don't understand it at all. I'm on chapter 6.
So what can I do to bring up my level of JS? fuk this mang
Jacob Parker
How are you on chapter 6 and not grasping it? Are you doing the exercises? Are you playing around with alternative solutions? EQ is pretty damn great at encouraging such, it would be a shame if you're just straight reading through it without taking notes or doing the exercises.
Samuel Lee
Yeah doing all the exercises, looking stuff up etc. I'm taking a lot of notes and like I said I understand it and why it works, but if you asked me to write it I wouldn't know how. Kind of like being able to understand a human language but not being able to speak it.
Hudson Anderson
ive always disliked that systax, i prefer to use app.service("exampleDataService", exampleDataService);
function exampleDataService($rootScope) { this.title = "sample";
this.alert = { id: null, data: null }; }
app.controller("alertModal", alertModal);
function alertModal($scope, $uibModalInstance, exampleDataService) { $scope.title = exampleDataService.title;
which is much more readable, even with dependencies
Justin Hall
Learning backend. Is it supposed to be this formulaic and easy? All I've seen is that you need to make routes and save shit in databases. It's very irritating and the many options for a backend language to choose as opposed to just JS in front end made it seem very daunting but it doesn't seem so bad now. Maybe I need to get myself wet with an actual complex project? All I've done so far are generic blogs and mini social networks.

Anthony Nguyen
What if you needed to change the background of the link? What if you wanted to add subtext for the link, and move it all to the right or left?
If there's a unique section of a website, it should be in a div, IMO.
Charles James
All that can be done without wrapping it in another tag
Nathan Ross
That's normal. I've been using javascript for roughly a year now and I still have to look up stuff all the time. There's no reason to memorize everything when google exists. You'll naturally memorize the stuff you use over time. Just make sure you have a solid understanding of the fundamentals and practice every day.
Jayden Wilson
Why does jquery mobile have such an ugly navbar?
Are there any alternatives I can use?
Liam Johnson
make it yourself
Brody Lopez
Are inline styles the best way to style shit in React? This feels very messy to me. React seems to really hate the notion of concern separation. I understand why they chose to go against it, but in the case of styling this does not feel like the ideal solution.
Daniel Campbell
Alright so I'm going to develop a quiz app and wanted to get your input if my idea of the implementation sounds correct.
The quiz part is going to be a webapplication, preferably SPA with VueJS. I'm also making a dashboard where an admin can log in and edit the questions. The questions will be saved in a MongoDB Database and the Dashboard also contains an API that returns the questions from the database. The quiz app queries this API and gets a JSON response with all of the questions. I want to build the Dashboard on a Node server with the sails framework, since I already have some experience with it.
So basically the quiz and the dashboard are two seperate projects that I'm going to host on subdomains. Does this sound somewhat reasonable or did I get the wrong idea? Still fairly new to webdev.
Colton Kelly
That seems like a lot of stuff for one project.
Jaxson Stewart
How else would you do it? I need the quiz app and a custom cms that saves the questions in a database.
Caleb Robinson
Sounds over-architectured to me.
Only bother making an API if there's a need, otherwise just access data directly.
Only use MongoDB if your application actually consists of "big data" i.e. more than a few Terabytes. Otherwise just use a regular RDBMS such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
Tyler Ortiz
Very confused with the term API. Before I got into web dev I usually heard that word in game development like in the Havok engine or OpenGL. But in web development they use that term for basically just paths.
Christopher Rivera
react components have exactly the same styling options as regular html. Only difference is you need to use className="" instead of class="".
Zachary Clark
An API is just a bunch of standardized protocols used for writing software.
>But in web development they use that term for basically just paths
It's a way of calling external services or software via a URL, nothing special about it. You call a URL and get some data back representing the output of a process on the external server.
Mason Turner
The reason I want to use a relational database is, because the questions don't have a set amount of answers. It seems to fit better than a traditional database with columns. I'd also like to learn MongoDB for future use.
>don't bother making an API What's the alternative? Sending the queries from the frontend? That seems insecure.
Wyatt Sanchez
Try A Smarter Way to Learn JavaScript.
Bentley Long
So it'd be alright to link a stylesheet to the html page I anchor all my components on and style them that way?
Joshua Stewart
>because the questions don't have a set amount of answers So what? With two tables you can solve this Question ------------- QuestionId Text
Answer ----------- AnswerId QuestionId (FK) Text
And your "traditional databases" are relational databases. MongoDB is a NoSQL/non-relational database.
>learn MongoDB for future use Only for pet projects I hope.
