I can only say all the exercises on FCC are piss-easy and all the projects are long and tedious. That seems to be the case with most web-dev tutorial sites. I don't know if the FCC certification is good or not because I haven't completed the projects. I keep it in the OP when I make the thread because it has the highest alexa ranking of any "free certification" website I know. The only way to really learn webdev is to have a project YOU want to build and then go a-googling until you figure it out step by bloody step.
Austin Collins
>The only way to really learn webdev is to have a project YOU want to build and then go a-googling until you figure it out step by bloody step. This should absolutely be in future OPs.
Following some course and completing some random more-or-less relevant tasks has nothing on actually working on your own little project, where you are actually eager to figure things out for yourself.

whats a good alternative to google analytics? I don't want to log a million things, but would find it helpful to at least see the referrer and country of visitors. Doesn't sound like a huge hassle to do it manually from scratch, but is there a good self-hosted solution out there, that does minimal logging of such info, that you would possibly recommend?

Basically I want to use the diamond as a border, and have whatever pics I want display inside it only. Is there any way of doing this?
I know I can achieve it through simply cutting the pic in the shape of a diamond/etc. But that would be time consuming each picture.
Evan Kelly
Can I finally use ES6 syntax imports in node.js or do I have to stick to require()?
Sebastian Ramirez
I got data for my project from the Current Population Survey, the American Community Survey, and the Census Bureau county population estimates. IPUMS has a pretty good user interface
but if the diamond border can has a solid color outerior, then you could get away with a simple container with those 2 pics stacked on top and hidden overflow. Really depends on how the final thing needs to look like.
No... and while I really like Node, I have no clue, what the deal with .mjs extensions is going to be. Do module maintainers now need to provide .mjs AND .js files? At least require works fine so far, for what it is supposed to do.

/wdg/ should get together and do something interesting akin to the cloverOS or netrunner group. Except with webdev you actually get things done.

You'll probably get an offer. Not because it taught you anything particularly advanced, but rather because companies will do anything they can to get labor at less than market value.

Do you guys use Mac, Windows or linux?
I only used windows in school, but as a professional all of my employers have used Mac. I've grown to prefer mac greatly for most things.
Noah Richardson
Mac for life, it's basically linux with out all the issues and better commercial software support

Linux because I can't live without free software (free as in gratis, not free as in autism)

I've been in several groups that have tried a group project. Unless it starts the other way, that is, a group of people into a certain project looking to get it done, it always falls apart.
There's always some autist who wants to build a CS:GO gambling bot. Take five people from any place on earth and ask what they want and one person will want this.
Then then one person will argue it should be professional looking, and another will be into memes.
Bonus points if someone's into pot, which isn't legal here.

Mostly windows with WSL. Linux, if it wasn't for my time wasting gaming habit. >Mac If I wanted to burn money I would do just that instead of putting up with all the effort of actually wasting it on overpriced and underpowered apple hardware.
angularjs or angular5? already knows react but i want to expand my knowledge

Who thought this was a good idea?
Andrew Torres
I know CSS, HTML, and am getting fairly competent at JS now. Thinking about adding in Angular right now as well and starting some more personal projects. About how much would be ideal to land me a front end job? I know mileage may vary but at this point I'm desperate for something, there are fuck-all jobs around here in Bumfuck, Arkansas and I've been unemployed since finishing school for 2 years. Not even Starbucks will hire me since the local market is caved in so bad. I just need something.
Ryder Johnson
Also the nearest city to me that seems like it'll actually hire would be either Tulsa or Dallas, how do webdev positions generally handle relocation? I have pretty much 0 money to make the move. Is it acceptable to ask for relocation assistance in my situation?
Jack Young
beg to differ, I've done multiple projects working entirely async with other people, it always broke down at the shilling part. Making the product is a little more than doubleclicking product.exe, selling it is whole other game.
I changed to only work on project that has customers lined up already, but 10 customers is probably worse than having no customers at all. Support soaks up your time, and every entitled prick thinks the service should cater to all their quirks for $20/month.
how to create a plugin architecture? how do plugins work at all?
Nolan Ortiz
need docker help please root@Habitica:~# dockerd -bash: dockerd: command not found root@Habitica:~# docker start hello-world -bash: docker: command not found root@Habitica:~# apt-get install docker Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done docker is already the newest version (1.5-1). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 111 not upgraded.
Connor Turner
nevermind I installed docker the GUI application not the container thing
Nathaniel Davis
That is one of the worst looking websites I have ever seen.
Cameron Reyes
a plugin architecture for what exactly? Describe what you want to build.
On a high level, you will need to describe an API for your program that plugins can access, and then write the features that load and execute the plugins.
What's WSL?
I use windows at home for gaming too. Though I prefer linux. My job bought the mac so price wasnt an issue for me.
Isaac Ortiz
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a compatibility layer for running Linux binary executables (in ELF format) natively on Windows 10. WSL provides a Linux-compatible kernel interface developed by Microsoft (containing no Linux kernel code), which can then run a Linux userland on top of it, such as that of Ubuntu, SUSE or Fedora. Such a userland might contain a Bash shell and command language, with native Linux command-line tools (sed, awk, etc.) and programming language interpreters (Ruby, Python, etc.)
When introduced with the Anniversary Update, only an Ubuntu image was available. The Fall Creators Update moved the installation process for Linux distributions to the Windows Store, and introduced Fedora and Suse images.
Alexander Reed
interesting. This would be of use to me on my windows machine.
Mason Lewis
a plugin architecture for websites e.g. wordpress.
So let's say I define to read all the files from a particular directory ("plugins"). These probably define their own APIs to call and build their service around it + the public apis available from the core piece? But how do you make it possible to make changes to the data store? E.g. an ecommerce plugin wants to store items and prices or whatever. Does this plugin do database migrations on installation?
Hudson Ward
As a noob to webdev who is six months in, there is something that grates me about this whole industry, particularly in the area of PHP.
When you say to somebody not to use something because it is 'insecure', please explain WHY it is insecure and don't just leave it at "it's insecure bro, don't use that". There is a lot to web development, I get it, but it would make navigating the whole jungle of whatever framework, whatever API, 'HTTP routing interface MongoDB algorithmic middleware scalable $_REQUEST[] Homestead ORM buy-me-a-coffee PHPUnit stack PSR-7 object-oriented Composer error-handling' much, much easier if you would just explain to a noob why you think something is to be ignored outright rather than adding to the learning mess that a noob has to endure in the 2017 world of web development.
Maybe it is just PHP. Fuck PHP dudes.
Christopher Reyes
And to add an extra layer of frustration, I can never ask for help in the /r/PHPhelp subreddit without people yelling at me for not using Composer. I'm learning the fundamentals and sticking to pure PHP for my projects but everybody on there assumes I'm working with a team on a serious project and I need to pump it full of frameworks and added arbitrary shit.
What I need is a time machine so I can go back to the early 00s and not have to deal with the amount of tacked-on shit we have right now.
Austin Barnes
If I wanna full-stack freelance, how do I deal with hosting? Do i make each client an account for whatever service? Do i put them all on a single account of my own/business? What if something happens to me, how do they access their web services?
Is there any good reading on this?
Ryan Wood
Yeah, I feel you. I still like PHP, even with all its faults, it's not a bad web dev tool to have under your belt.
Nicholas Perez
Maybe you should search for reseller hosting. I just have my own VPS and rent the space to my clients. Most of them are local businesses and don't need many resources.

Liam Ortiz
Hi guys Im from Argentina and the data sais that everyone in latinoamerica only use internet to enter to facebook. Badically the internet is here for retards that spend their days in facebook..

Jason Foster
Nevermind, it works now. Had to wait 2 hours.
Nathan Reyes
>University of Reddit Sounds like absolute hell
Hunter Jackson
You will encounter a million frameworks and tools initially. Almost everyone feels overwhelmed and can't decide what to do at that point. You can't learn everything at the same time obviously.
After you got the basics of HTML, CSS & JS down, the most practical thing would be to look into and learn one of the big 3 frontend frameworks React, Vue or Angular. Which one depends on what your goal is (hobby, employment, etc.) and what's in demand in your area. Then learn a language you can run serverside. JS/Node.js, Python, C#, PHP, and so on... Lots of options. Not going to pick a side here now, but you will encounter some very strong opinions depending on who you ask about this. At that point you can create pretty much anything you want and just deepen your knowledge or learn additional languages, tools and libraries.

>set html min-height to 100vh >set body to 100% >page height still renders as slightly greater than 100vh
I'm probably being retarded but I really don't know at this point. It's not the content that's giving it the extra height because if I set body to auto it creates a ton of blank space.
I just want the body to fill the window without creating a scroll bar unless the content inside it causes it to expand. Any tips?
Samuel Butler
Anyone here with advanced knowledge in Angular4?
Landon Wright
Browsers add their own default padding and margins to some elements, try setting padding to 0 on the body and margin to 0 on the video.
Zachary Sanders
lol pepe is looking at me Thank you very much for your advices, it is a really good one I appreciate it. But thanks for /wdb/ and research I made I already know that, what I wanted to ask is: if everyone use facebook here in latinamerica what the fuck am I supossed to do if I want employement or at least freelance. I will be able to do it if everyone use facebook for everything here? Enlighten me please

Every job listings for webdev or programing are located in buenos aires, far far away where I live.. Would you recomend me to freelance instead? I dont want to move to buenos aires, thats like a jungle of robbery murder and bad people.
Josiah Cruz
Check to see if any children of body have their margin collapsing to outside of it.
Is there a way to search github for projects written in a certain language/framework? I want to check out Angular projects
Benjamin Cox
you can checkout the trending repos and sort by language, but github won't distinguish among JS variants. github.com/trending
Nathan Scott
>Would you recomend me to freelance instead? sry, don't have advice on that. But for freelance you need to be quite the business person and able to sell yourself. Probably harder than webdev-basics, unless it comes naturally for you.
yes there is and you will find it, if you would actually search for it
Landon Diaz
Thank you. It's like CSS goes out of it's way to be tedious.
Yeah. Sometimes I like CSS. And sometimes I have to deal with shit like margin collapse.
Christopher Anderson
only if that project is tagged accordingly :)
Angel Morgan
Great, thanks Well i thought the topics were like a curated list like the collections. My bad
Isaiah Rogers
I know there is a way to display Angular error messages in browser window and in browser console, but I don't know how to do this. Googling this problem keeps showing AngularJS solutions. They should've chosen a different name in my opinion.
Gabriel Reyes
I want to take some shitty domain with a pacific islands suffix. Is namecheap the best deal? I have delusions that my site will have a decent size and I don't want my website name to be copyrighted or something by anyone...
Eli Brooks
No one? I'm just wondering if it's OK to add BrowserModule and HttpClientModule into the CoreModule instead of the Root (AppModule). The documentation says that CoreModules are usually only for singleton services but I will use those two other modules everywhere in my application, why shouldn't I put them into my CoreModule?
Hunter Edwards
my site's getting usable enough that I should start thinking about overall structure of my site moving forward and potential future employment in terms of employment, what are the most accessible, common, well payed, etc. jobs in web development? is full lamp stack sought after?
my site's running off my laptop, ubuntu, apache2, and I have 1 or 2 mysql tables but nothing really in use then it's basically just html/css, and javascript which fills in the html tags should I try switching to php? mvc stuff? where's the list of topics that employers want to see knowledge on?
Bentley Davis
I got mine off namecheap, I just pay them like 20€ every year and I keep my domain
Joshua Kelly
Nevermind, running ng serve again fixed the problem.
Ryder Rivera
can namecheap ever refuse renewing the deal and claim back the "catchy" or "famous" name? if yes, can they sue me for still using the name with a different suffix?
Jeremiah Davis
don't know sorry
Ethan Collins
they would lose their entire business in doing so
Hudson Robinson
no it's your domain. There are rules to this procedure of registering and renewing names.
