Give it to me straight webs. Am I wasting time with Laravel? I am fairly beginner with php so I am learning it simultaneously with Laravel.
No, it's perfectly normal to learn a framework first. I think in many instances you're better off for it

How does one get gud at angular?
I tried reading the documentation and even watched a few videos but I can't seem to hack it. Also the new lingo is making me all the more confused.

Yeah wtf is this? Isnt it enough to be just loaded like other scripts? Jesus fuck these js fucks

Why do you want to be good at it? Get good at plain javascript. When you do that you'll find that you don't need a framework.
Gabriel Cox

Daniel Kelly
Like there's 0 reason to use a javascript framework unless it's for something like animations. If you're trying to build some ultra complex GUI application where react/angular start to look like a good idea then do the world a favor and learn c++.

How do I use a sqlite db in a flask project that needs to handle concurrent users?
>inb4 don't use sqlite the sqlite website itself uses sqlite, and it has hundreds of time the amount of pageviews my website will serve (I already know that the daily users will be around ten)

Yeah I guess fucking Google is wrong for making Angular. Get off your high horse you autistic jobless fucks from Sup Forums
Julian Hughes
>certified in 70-483 lolol I'm in the process actually
Chase Lewis
Watch out - sqlite is single-user-mode only.
Do really multiple users use this application at the same time? You could try a workaround by queuing the database actions and running them one-after-the-other through a service user.

Their second most used product isn't even written in angular. I doubt they use it much for search either. Secondly that's an appeal to authority and not an argument. I'm not saying these frameworks don't have their purpose, they do, just like dreamweaver and wordpress. They let non-technical people prototype inefficient and insecure apps, something they wouldn't be able to do without them.
David Lewis

even if what you say is true and its not , it still is not enough reason for people write stuff in pure js because using these frameworks like angular is saving huge time for devs
PHP guru's, want your opinion on this code. I think it works, gonna test it some more, but im trying to update some rows if they exist. If they dont exist then I want to insert them. Worth noting that removing the rows then re-creating them is not an option because i can't lose any data. I'm using an SQLite db.
I read it.. She was mad that they expected programming ability from a position with the word, "design" in it. The title was, "UX Engineer/Interaction Designer". I can't blame her. There are jobs where "design" or "UX" is in the description and I don't know whether to apply or not because I'm strictly a developer.

The best way to learn a framework is work through a couple or 3 tutorials.
I think I would have found Angularjs (i.e. Angular 1) to be particularly awkward if I hadn't had experience with a lot of the concepts beforehand. The way that Dependency Injection and Scope are handled in Angularjs *looks* awkward because of the limitations of vanilla ES5.
That being said, I think I would have understood things more quickly if someone had just straight up told me:
"AngularJS abstracts scope. Rather than using Javascript's scoping, each component should keep all of it's things in the $scope object that it is provided. This just makes it a lot easier to keep things organised and make sure that components aren't reaching across to other components and fucking with eachother in a disorganized manner.
"Dependency Injection is basically just a next-level factory pattern where you only use a single, global, omni-factory. You tell the factory what to build (in AngularJS you do this by giving it the name -- as a string -- of the thing you want. Avoid `new`."

I'm going through Colt Steele's udemy webdev course right now. I got it for $10 but I think it's $15 right now, definitely worth it if you feel like you are grasping concepts but are unsure of how it all fits together in the big picture. He does a pretty good job of leading you into topics while providing real world examples. When I was going through FCC I was grasping concepts but when it came down to writing my own I was like "ok how does this actually come into play and when do I use it". The real benefit of the course was his JS sections and the projects that he has you do. I got a real good grasp of functions after I finished a few of the more lengthy projects. No shill, just found it genuinely helpful.

So I'm learning node and I can't seem to wrap my head around some of the callback and filesystem stuff. Anyone have some links to some decent resources that explain some of this better?
Jacob Hughes
Post some shit you have a problem with
Isaac Perez
Other than Armstrong's boom and Erlang/OTP in Action, no, not really.
After these books, reading source should be able to satisfy most of your learning.
For Elixir, learn Erlang first, and if you can grok that you're probably at a point where you can pick up Elixir through hacking (as it's 90% the same semantics).
Camden Evans
nice post user thanks
Joshua Green
I'm doing the learnyounode stuff for FCC on cloud9, and basically I've never used an callback function before and the explanation they gave me is pretty vague beyond "It's asynchronous!".

Opinions on web dev v.s. system administration?
sys admin seems like it may be more interesting.. I also am under the impression that sys admins have the potential for a lot of autonomy, but this also seems like something web devs enjoy as well.

>"It's asynchronous!".
It sounds like you're unfamiliar with the idea of the Event Queue, which is really crucial to understanding how JS works and why JS can be really nice for certain applications.
The Event Queue is a First-In-First-Out collection of functions to be called in the future when the current call stack is exhausted.
Each function is executed whenever the current function finishes executing.
As an example, there exists a function called `setTimeout`. It accepts 2 arguments, a callback function and a time in milliseconds. What it does is wait for however long you tell it to wait, then it appends whatever function to the event queue.
So if I wrote: ================================
function barf(){ console.log('barfing'); } setTimeout(barf, 0); console.log('farting');
================================
I end up with the following output: ================================
farting barfing
================================
By setting the timeout to 0ms, I'm telling the JS interpreter to immediately append `barf` to the Event Queue. This allows the interpreter to continue onto the following line(s) of code and execute them, then once it's run out of things to do it will execute whatever function is up next in the Event Queue.
The Event Queue is SUPER HANDY. Suppose I wanted to make some AJAX request to grab an image. The request is performed by native code, outside the interpreter. The interpreter provides the `XMLHttpRequest` API so that we can give instructions to that native code. When we do, it could potentially take a long time to go get that image. We don't want our whole program to stop while we wait for that image to download, so we provide the `XMLHttpRequest` with a callback function that will be appended to the Event Queue when AJAX request is finished and will be executed once the interpreter has run out of other things to do.
Dominic Lee
Yeah that's not a great explanation. Its literally just a function passed to another function that gets executed at some point. Neither function is necessarily asynchronous
Jaxson Phillips
Note that Javascript provides lots of nice features for Asynchrony, but not concurrency. Javascript is, BY DESIGN, single threaded and each line of code is executed sequentially. The Event Queue allows us to delay execution of code, but that code is not execute simultaneously with any other code.
Noah Rodriguez
>Its literally just a function passed to another function that gets executed at some point
This is a much more succinct answer than mine, but I do want to emphasize that its typically not just "some point." The callback will be executed upon completion of some task, often one which is being performed by native code, outside of the JS interpreter.
Elijah Johnson
This break down really helped! Being relatively new to javascript, I have never actually had to think outside of single-threaded processing yet.
These helped a lot, thanks!

A callback function is a term use for convenience,
A callback function is called after a function completes it task, Example 1:
Suppose ur make a function that sends a request to an api thn u want to return tht data into a variable, a callback function is called only after tht request is made n finished

You're fucking retarded, but if you want to know the real reasons why Facebook does it:
- LICENSE.md - Improves their engineering reputation which makes it easier them to hire top talent, among other things. - Makes it easier for them to onboard new engineers into their way of doing things (because everyone else is already doing it)

1. If anything I think React makes application development much more complex. Especially when you factor in state management, immutable paradigms, and server-side rendering.
2. Companies like Facebook and Google interview on CS fundamentals, not frameworks. My guess is you've never interviewed at a company like that before otherwise you wouldn't make such a retarded statement.
3. These companies don't give a shit about H1Bs for the reasons you're implying.They already pay engineers 300k+ base.
TLDR: You are a moron.
John Murphy
wow nice work
what tool / technique did you use, for future reference?
whats with the license.md? So let's say I made a github repo that uses react, how do I deal with it?
Levi Hughes
You think every engineer at google is getting paid 300+? holy shit you are a retard.
Benjamin Mitchell
I'm trying to read the reactjs docs on how to change the state but all I got are clock/timer examples!
Do they really think that I'm doing a spa just for a goddamn clock? I hate clock/timer examples!
fuuuuuuuuu!
Parker Richardson
real world app development yes, very complex. it wasn't designed for that. it was designed for prototyping fluffy todo list apps to put on your github and get a job and flood the market.
there isn't any single "engineer" position at either google or facebook. the interviews vary depending on position like any other company or organization. either way, those 2 companies aren't the only companies that set salaries. they're flooding the industry with no talent, not themselves.
you're an idiot if you think google is paying every engineer over $300k, you're an even bigger idiot to think that they WANT to pay a single one of their engineers over $300k.

Uh. React was designed for facebook's use case which is definitely not as simple as a todo list app. So you're dead wrong right off the bat.
There isn't a single engineering position at Google/Facebook, but for FE/web development there is more or less a single role at both companies that encompasses this, and they will both interview you on CS fundamentals. They will likely ask you very little about frameworks.
I didn't say Google/Facebook was paying every engineer 300k, but for senior engineers it is not uncommon.
I love seeing salty old developers whine about React, because it shows they can't actually bring themselves to learn and understand it. It's easier to embrace the cognitive dissonance than admit that they themselves are sub-par engineers who probably learned a lot about one specific older technology and now cannot move forward. So instead they try to poke holes and create scapegoats for the way that the industry is clearly going. lulz
