Reposting from the end of the last thread. I promise I won't shill too much in the future.
I made this: qtchart.com It fills in pic relateds. You can also save your chart as a page and link to it/edit it later. Example profile: qtchart.com/?user=ExampleChart
user from earlier suggested switching off the requirement for all chart elements to be filled in before generating the chart image (there's no such restriction on saving your chart as a userpage).
At the moment I know there are some issues with element overflow at certain resolutions, and the account management interface is missing from the mobile version.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions, and I'll start working on them tomorrow.
I was considering adding a matchmaking feature if this picked up any steam.

Someone posted a really useful link that compared a bunch of Javascript technologies. It had write ups for frontend stuff like React, vue, ember, etc., and for backend stuff like node.js frameworks too. Can anyone repost it?

How do I build a portfolio as someone who's just started learning?
Charles Gray
Probably, since you don't seem to hash your password, but then again I don't know to much about Perl and Web APIs.

Samuel Scott
Oh smart. Wouldn't think to do that with static single user api details. Its not a public api per say, its just a couple of endpoints for a partner's web hooks
shill away, my friend, once per thread is ok. Seriously. Nobody wants to post their shit here on /wdg/ because they're afraid of getting doxxed or whatever, so we always have to beg people to show us their products.
First, take some time to learn shit, you can't build a portfolio if you're still struggling with array indexes. Once you got that part covered, take a book or video series that guides you through a whole project (pic related, for example) and do the whole book. Then do it again, from cover to cover, and then the third time you kinda follow the book but building your own website. Keep repeating with different projects until you get hired. Find a girl. Settle down. If you want, you can marry.

Yeah, about 130 pages were lost when my old host decided to drop my entire server a few years ago.
That's when I learned to use automated backups.
Just changed the layout a little since the homepage wasn't really necessary.

Is 27 too old to get into webdev with no prior knowledge? I need an out from dead end jobs.
Does webdev have a stable future? Seems like it could go either way.
Colton Smith
I'll post a couple more.
fundev.tv - posted earlier. Basically tools for twitch streamers. Just released a new tool today that let's viewers vote on games for streamers to play. The list of games has affiliate links. Pictured because you can't really see any of it besides bootstrap shit.
crowdcookie.com - Not even on search engines yet, haven't really worked on it much. People can write in fortunes for others to open. You can share a picture of your cookie right to twitter (it works, but breaks the layout)
Let's see, shushnotes. Basically you can leave anonymous notes for anyone in the world. I don't know why it's not launched yet. Not happy with the design I guess.
The last 2 are being compiled into mobile apps with Cordova.
Dev does, design doesn't. You can't really drag and drop logic like you can buttons and pictures.

hoping not, since I'm 31 and making the jump. There is ageism, but if you've got the knowledge then you can fight it.

Honestly, LaunchCode told me it wasn't enough.
"Just basic storing/retrieving from a database"
Like most webpages can't be described that way. I did pass their interview though. Terrible company. They send emails asking for project updates, I said "Take me off your list, I got a job already". I kept getting project update emails. Never got an actual job interview through them either.
>hoping not, since I'm 31 I'm 28 and just got my first dev job in January. Everyone there is between 26 and 40 so don't worry about being too old.
Connor Baker
If you're the guy that was interviewing at LaunchCode St.Louis MO then i remember ya from some weeks ago. So what job did you end up getting and how?
Nolan Long
I'm not, I was the other LaunchCode guy. Both of us got nothing out of LaunchCode.
That dude ended up getting a job on his own sometime in March if I remember right. I got mine after posting an ad to craigslist. They just asked some whiteboard questions and called to make an offer right after I left the interview. They didn't even look at my resume or portfolio.
Josiah Peterson
>I got mine after posting an ad to craigslist wait, did you post the ad? How much $$ did they offer you?
Landon Ramirez
what's the common age bracket in your webdev office? [25 - 45] ?
Henry Williams
I too applied for LaunchCode. Did their 3 question test on Hackerrank and aced them all. After both interviews they said they would contact me shortly. It's been a year later and no response. I emailed them about in about 2 month intervals for updates but nope, no response.
Jaxon Gray
Hey guys, so, this university near me is having a web development bootcamp for 6 months.
Is what will be learned, but could change based on demands.
When I called the guy about it, he said you will be full stack web developer after this course, both front end and back end.
They will help with career placement, and what not.
Has anyone else attend one of these web development bootcamps, and if so, how was your experience, what did you learn, and would you recommend it?
>9500 or >8500 if you sign up early enough.
Since its a continuing education course, I wouldn't even know what loans I can apply for to pay for it.
Kevin Taylor
Guys Do I really need a nested foreach if I am going through a sequence say from 0-10 and each time I am going through this sequence I am checking if the sequence number is within an array.
Jaxon Edwards
>Database Theory >still teaches MongoDB
Waste of time. Why the fuck would you know better, then fuck everything up like that?
Noah Wood
Sort the array, then you don't need to completely search it every time. Or if the series is that predictable, search through the array one time and do a single condition on each item (> 0 and < 10).
Joseph Russell
Ah, so for example Loop is 0-10 Array is [3,4] Loop starts at 0 and checks against the array, if there is anything at first position, no, then go to next loop position that is 1 and so on and if it 's done go back again and point to the second element and loop through?

Question for self-taught webdev currently in work: at what point did you know you were ready?
Nicholas Thomas
when you read a job description and you are confident you can do what they say. Also, you're never ready. Also, companies don't even know what they want. Also, just fucking apply, what's the difference. Also, nobody will hire you anyways. Also, why even live?

Anyone might know why the clear(second line) method also clears the taskParametersTemp variable I specifically saved so I can use it later?

lol more serious answer now: most job ads are full of shit, it's HR throwing in buzzwords just for the sake of it. If you have *some* skills, and you can *sorta* whip up a website, then you can start applying, even to those jobs that list 50 required languages and 3 years of experience for a junior position. The truth is, nobody meets those requirements, so they'll take whoever comes closer. Fuck it, just apply once you're comfortable with your own shit.
Notice how fucking vague they are in every requirement: >Some experience with at least one popular server-side framework >Desire to learn >Basic familiarity with a Linux environment >Belief in well-tested code
Do you have some experience, desires, basic familiarity and belief in shit? Fucking apply.
Jose Martin

Lincoln Garcia
Lol I have no idea what I'm talking about. I was stuck at a dead-end job, stumbled upon Sup Forums and started learning how to code (I had done some back in uni but then never again). Been at it for the past 4/5 months, and now I'm feeling ready to start applying, probably next month. I quit my job 3 months ago, now on neetbucks, so no monetary pressure, I can study all day long.
Follow my advice here , follow books or videos that guide you through projects. Build a bunch of those (or just one, who cares) and have it ready to show off.
Also, if you're in the US, you're on easy-mode. Also, network like a bitch. Go to meetup.com, find groups pertaining to your areas of interest and just show up. Put on a big smile and say "Hi, I don't know shit, but I'm here to learn!"
And remember, we're all going to make it...

James Bailey
>there are some layout fuckups on firefox This issue is thanks to the decision to go for a design which uses small, viewport width dependent borders because I was sick of the gigantic static borders on the desktop versions of most recently-designed sites which waste 3/4 of your screen.
I discovered that the drawback to this kind of responsiveness is that layout issues can crop up at any resolution (although giving everything a once-over at the edge of every breakpoint probably suffices).
I'll look into making the title and button text scale with the grid column / enclosing element width.
>also pls let user use regular metric system as a setting or something I hadn't thought of that, thanks.
I don't like making special cases for single elements like "height" (although I sort of have already), but I do like adding buttons. I don't think I'm willing to change the generated image, so it would just be an option to view the existing ranges in inches as rounded values in cm (with the first value in a range being one cm more than the end value of the last range) in the form, and nothing would change on the backend. Your preferred measurement system would not be saved.
Brayden Evans
In my experience really generic job ads like that one are rare and always get shitloads of applicants.
I spent a ton of time screwing around with different projects in Ruby, Python and Java before starting to apply places and realizing that the only entry-level work was in webdev. Didn't get many bites.
Then I spent a month and a bit building a website in React + Bootstrap with all the other meme bells and whistles so I could start applying to the billions of postings looking for React + Bootstrap. Now I'm working on a WebGL project while I wait for replies. I'll let you guys know if my strategy pays off.
Isaac Murphy
Why is this website so fucking sluggish? Runs like shit on my laptop and desktop:
How is the job market right now for front-end developers trying to break into the industry? What about if they don't have a university degree?
Nathan Myers
As long as it has decent PHP support it should work. Problem can arise from Laravel not working in subdirectory.

Thanks for the advice. Solidarity.
Landon Butler

John Collins
>In my experience really generic job ads like that one are rare Granted, most ads are not as generic and 'easy-going' as that one, but still, they are out there, gotta keep your hopes up.
>I spent a ton of time screwing around with different projects in Ruby, Python and Java before starting to apply places and realizing that the only entry-level work was in webdev. Didn't get many bites. So you were going for a non-webdev job at first? Yeah, I'll agree that those are a lot harder to break into.
I'm not saying there's thousands of jobs out there for us idiots who've just completed an HTML tutorial, I'm just saying it is possible. This is one of the few white-collar fields, I believe, where you can make money without a degree and without super awesome skills. I'd say this is the most meritocratic field right now, and with the most amount of openings.

Jeremiah Moore
>talkpython.fm/episodes/show/111/pythonic-career-advice-and-more listen to this podcast, at 32:00, or a bit before if you want to. People are getting hired at these meetups. I think it really is worth the effort. We're all a bit anti-social here, but no pain no gain. Besides, it should be a somewhat easy crowd, mostly nerds and dweebs, not too many brogrammers hopefully. Plus, there should be a whole bunch of these groups if you're in a mid-size city, so try with one and if you don't like it, try another one, til you find a group that suits you.
Stay strong, hikikomori-bro

I guess I just need to find a wingman bro to take with me in order to alleviate the awkward lone wolf part of going to these sorts of things.

Stripe's API talks about "child arguments" in their API docs. Am I right to assume that I'm supposed to POST them as such?
argument[child_argument]=whatever
Eli Clark
when you sign up to an API you get a certain amount of free queries per month. Let's say I want my site to use one of google's API's but I don't want to pay (cause it's a medium-sized site that I just want to test out). Can I get several API keys, one for each of my many emails, and then have my site rotate the key with each API query? Any way that would not work? Would Google realize all these queries are coming from the same server but with a different user key?

How many applications have you guys applied before being accepted? I'm self taught and I haven't even got a single interview and I applied for 30 positions. Been teaching myself for 6 months now and I like to think I have a solid understanding.
David Garcia
Where are you located?
Benjamin Garcia
This typically goes against the terms of service for many APIs, but you could do it.
Different APIs will implement different ways of preventing stuff like this, but if you're low-scale it shouldn't be much of an issue.
With that being said, I wouldn't test Google's security, and if you need to make that many queries, you ought to be out of testing and in some sort of production, which means you should be able to pay for it.
If you can't, then your design is most likely flawed.
Noah Adams

Nathan Anderson
>you ought to be out of testing and in some sort of production
I'm unemployed and just fucking around with projects. I don't wanna pay $30/month to do some google searches. But I'm worried that the 5k limit per month might not be enough.
Brody Bell
One easy way to not hit my query limit so fast would be to cache the most popular searches, right? Never done this before, but I think that would work.
Anthony Bennett
makes a good point, and even Google encourages caching in this scenario.
But my point still stands. If your app is going over a rate limit during testing, it's probably because your design is flawed (including not handling caching)
Jaxson Jackson

Aaron Ward

Jackson Price
why do you want to use an api to access generic search engine results, espcially if these are not free ?
Google search was just an example, I'm more interested in other API's actually, but they all have the same feature: first couple of K for free, then you gotta pay up
Joshua Richardson
the few i used in the past had hourly limits and you had to get in touch with site owners to raise it up for you if your application had value or something has everything gone to shit or are you dealing with especially jewish api providers ?
