old thread >>52476158

We should add codepen.io to the OP, so people with questions can use that for complex stuff.

>>52530121
Funny you ask that, because we just recently had to hire another web dev.

You make it sound like having a portfolio is a common thing these days.
It's not.
How many time we received a resume where the guy didn't have a github or a portfolio to show. So just the fact that you actually have one is damn great.

Let's assume you have a portfolio/a github.
First thing I'd look beside the actual pages of course is how readable is your code. Since I'm the guy leading the dev team where I work, I spend more of my time reading people code that writing my own, and if the act of trying to guess what you're doing last more that 10 minutes, then there's most likely something wrong with your code.

Are you respecting coding conventions? Are you reinventing the wheel? What are your architectural choices? Did you have an actual purpose writing this project other than showing how skilled you are in whatever languages?

How often people only use the limited subset of web technologies they learned during their education (jQuery, Angular?), never trying to broaden their knowledge. Most of the guys I met never heard about es6/7,css transpilers, even svg. They don't know what v8 is, what's a closure, etc. You don't have to (and shouldn't) follow the latest trends, but please at least be aware of what's existing. That's a big red flag in my opinion.

>>52530862
So you want us to not
>reinvent the wheel
but also to not
>use the latest tech that prevents us from reinventing the wheel

>>52531113
I think he means that you shouldn't drop your current tool if it satisfies your coding needs, just because there is a new shiny library/framework that does basically the same but it's newer.
Your current library/framework is already preventing that you reinvent the wheel.

>>52531113
No, what he is saying (I think) is that doing overly complex stuff in order to solve a common problem in a slightly better way is often a bad idea, since people will have to deal with that code and it's better to keep it simple.

About the latest tech, there is a difference between following trends and knowing what is going on, learning is important, getting carried away by whatever is popular at the moment is not.

For example, you should never drop whatever language/framework/thing you are using and change to another just because "everybody uses XXX" or "it's more modern".

Learning different things is good, but learning takes time, you won't be able to learn everything as it comes, so in order to choose what to learn try to base your choice on advantages that technology has over what you know and not popularity.

That's my understanding anyway.

I have a static website with a small blog section that i made myself as a practice project
however im pretty new to webdevelopment so it's pretty obtuse to add new posts to it (atm i edit the html file manually to add in new paragraphs)

what should i look into to make this myself?
currently i know html, css, javascript well enough to build simple static sites comfortably, but I havent done anything that involves more advanced web programming like this.

>>52531491
just store your posts in a json file using markdown, you can then use XHR to load up the page.

>>52530862
Cont. (Few typos, don't mind them)

Best thing about working in this field is how flexible you can be. Depending on the client's needs, you can do the same thing a lot of different ways.
Need a static webpage? Static html, markdown renderer, using wordpress and calling it a day works too..
A website with realtime stats? Okay, let's pull of react, d3 and some socket.io, or just use phoenix with its great realtime support.
You're like a wizard, creating content from an idea, giving it the shape you want.

What I dislike the most sometimes is how fast the field move. How often I had to trash days of work because I was depending on some library that recently had breaking changes. (babel5 to babel6 just to give an example)

>>52530629

What a super idea!

>>52531491
>>52531600 is a good option.
Alternatively you can for example make a new file every time you want to make a new post, then concatenate each file when you render your page, kinda like what Jekyll does, which is the most popular static blog generator.

Or if you feel like challenging yourself, load your posts from a database

Anyone else had this issue? My site works ok, but there is an issue when i am pointing my domain to my site (on another host). It works fine on most browsers, but in chrome (and default android browser) there is a slight 0.4 second blank page before everything loads in. Every time i refresh or click a button to navigate through the site, the whole page goes blank for a split second until the page loads. What is causing this and why is it only happening on some browers? This is so annoying...

>>52531752
>>52531600
i was thinking that it would be convenient to be able to be able to update from just going to website.com/admin and log in etc.
i do like challenges and learning new shit though so database sounds fun, would that be like php/mySQL?

>>52532301
Updating data through an admin panel typically sounds like something you would build on top of a php backend with a mysql database, yep

I started learning Ruby on Rails, it seems super developer friendly and fun/quick to develop in, but i see people bashing it for its performance and other shit.

What would i better off learning?

<html>
<script>
    function doLoad() {
        window.frames["wind"].location.href = document.getElementById("loc").value;
        return false;
    }
</script>

<body>
    <iframe name="wind" width="100%" height="94%" style="border:thin"></iframe>
    <form onsubmit="doLoad();">
        <input id="loc" type="text" />
        <input type="submit" value="Go" />
    </form>
</body>

</html>

When I write the address in the bar and press Go nothing happens, the page just reloads. I think it might be an issue with my browser but, does it works for you?

>>52532812
rails is fine, people bash it blindly cause "HURRDURR TWITTER SWITCHED FROM RAILS TO JAVA" even though twitter had very odd architecture and serves up millions of clients, they take twitter logic and apply it to every web app. Anyway, rails is great to learn and if you are enjoying it keep going because most of what you learn will be applicable to other web frameworks.

Best Java framework?

>>52532812
Why would you avoid it just because people are bashing it.
Rails is great, and just because people are bashing it, doesn't mean it is bad.

Just go with rails, it is awesome.
If you want an alternative though, there's Django for Python, Laravel for PHP, and Sails for node.js, though I have never used it.
Pick the one whose language you're most comfortable with, or just pick rails, who cares..

What are your toughts on Laravel
I'm thinking about picking it up.

>>52532812

It's good, you don't always need high performance websites, as long as you only slightly modify data (filter through huge arrays etc) you should be fine.

>>52532982
What if I want to make a website that does alot of data analysis?

>>52533007
If it is heavy scientific simulation I think you would have a separate program in a more fitting language (like c++ or R or something like that), then have your website just display that data.

>>52533114
i meant heavy scientific data anlysis, not simulation

R is made for data analysis.

>>52533136

I heard python is pretty popular for data analysis

>>52533114
no, it's not scientific, just an algorithm for ranking content

>>52533181
Yes you are correct, there are good libraries for that kind of stuff like numpy/scipy/pydata. Also python can call c++ code for more intensive calculations if you need.

>>52533193
Should be fine on rails then, assuming you scale/optimize properly.

Just go with jsfiddle, its free and doesn't require signup

Been learning front end for a few of months now and I'm about to make a couple of fake websites.

Looking for opinions on these two mockups I made. They're not entirely finished yet but I want to start coding already and I figured they're clear enough to be understandable.

https://u.pomf.is/beyyye.jpg
https://u.pomf.is/feuhhd.jpg

>>52537286
I never fully understood why people make mock-ups in Photoshop. It's time consuming and in my eyes it apart from giving your customer or team an idea of what it'll look like, it serves no purpose. Wireframing is good though with just the basic layout.
Your designs are good senpai, especially the second one.

>>52537286
>https://u.pomf.is/beyyye.jpg
The white/grey split on the nav bar looks like a pseudo-gradient and kinda kischy.
Imaging/type is good
Not enough contrast between the searchbox background and text, I know it's placeholder but it still needs to be readable without squinting
Bottom of the page looks a little busy but that may be fine, depends on the use case, but you're not going to "sell" any content that lands down there

>https://u.pomf.is/feuhhd.jpg
It's pretty, will definitely impress business people, although the "scroll for a slideshow" thing is almost a joke among web devs at this point.
Four folds of "Brand Identity - Print - Campaign" is dumb, find some content to put there or cut three of them
Right body content ("Expertise" fold) is interesting, mildly eye catching. The colors on the left side content contrast nicely but if you make it go high-contrast on hover then it'll come off kitschy

>>52537634
>I never fully understood why people make mock-ups in Photoshop
I feel the same intuitively but it only comes from having written a lot more CSS than photoshop content. PS really is more expressive/powerful for fixed size media, we only think it isn't because we're good at CSS and poor at photoshop.

That's not to say I think PS mockups are always a good thing, web design isn't print media, it just happens to be the tooling visual designers are familiar with and works well enough that with a little elbow grease enables communication between devs and designers.

>>52537758
Not sure what you meant about the scroll for a slideshow part, but I'm planning to make the 'casos de exito'/case studies section do something like this

https://codyhouse.co/demo/project-cards-template/index.html

And yeah I was still working in the navbar of the first image but I can't think of anything right now, but don't want to make it flat.

>>52537864
>Not sure what you meant about the scroll for a slideshow part

I mean like a series of "screenfulls" of content which you get in series by scrolling. So like you land on the first fold and then you're expected to scroll down to the second (or some designers will force you to). No one will land on that page and sit with the "Concepto/Casos/Experencia" line in the middle of their screen, they'll scroll until it's at the top or out of view port. Contrast that to like a "text desert" site of 4chan or whatever where you scroll continuously as opposed to visual "pages".

>but I'm planning to make the 'casos de exito'/case studies section do something like this
>https://codyhouse.co/demo/project-cards-template/index.html
Oh, so all four horizontal bars are going to occupy the screen at the same time? That's not as bad but I'll stand by what I said before.

>And yeah I was still working in the navbar of the first image but I can't think of anything right now, but don't want to make it flat.
I still think the thread/leather skeuomorph is appealing if it's not too in your face, but people have strong and divergent opinions on that.

Anyone familiar with RSpec? I'm trying to get back into TDD since it's just good to know. I made these tests pass a few months ago.

All of my tests pass except for the "rejects improperly formatted email".
user spec

require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe User do
  it 'requires a name' do
    user = User.new(name: '')
    user.valid?
    expect(user.errors[:name].any?).to eq(true)
  end
  it 'requires an email' do
    user = User.new(email: '')
    user.valid?
    expect(user.errors[:email].any?).to eq(true)
  end
  it 'accepts properly formatted email' do
    emails = ['[email protected]', '[email protected]']
    emails.each do |email|
      user = User.new(email: email)
      user.valid?
      expect(user.errors[:email].any?).to eq(false)
    end
  end
  it 'rejects improperly formatted email' do
    emails = %w[@ user@ @example.com]
    emails.each do |email|
      user = User.new(email: email)
      user.valid?
      expect(user.errors[:email].any?).to eq(true)
    end
  end
end
[end]

user model

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_secure_password

    EMAIL_REGEX = /\A([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]+)\z/i
    validates :name, :email, :password, presence: true
end

The forms. I gave both email inputs a type of email when it was time but I haven't added the authenticity token yet.

<form>
        <fieldset>
            <legend>Login</legend>
            <input type="email" placeholder="Email">
            <input type="text" placeholder="Password">
            <input type="submit" value="Login">

        </fieldset>
    </form>

    <form>
        <fieldset>
            <legend>Register</legend>
            <input type="text" placeholder="Name">
            <input type="email" placeholder="Email">
            <input type="text" placeholder="Password">
            <input type="text" placeholder="Password Confirmation">
            <input type="submit" value="Register">
        </fieldset>
    </form>

>Anyone familiar with RSpec? I'm trying to get back into TDD since it's just good to know.

So I know this isn't going to be particularly helpful to you, it's been a while since I did RSpec so I can't really give you much help here, but it's an interesting subject on a philosophical level. I love TDD and I've done a lot of it but I think the idea of a DSL for testing is fundamentally mistaken. A unit test should test a unit of code rather first, and a unit of functionality after. Code in language X is best interfaced with other code in language X. Thus introducing a different language for testing vs. implementation only harms you ability to express intention.

Just my two cents but I'd be interested in what other people with significant TDD experience think on the subject.

>>52533520
Don't worry about him. He's on a personal crusade against Elixir.

>>52538121
`user.valid?`

Does this not return a boolean value? Why not change your tests to:

expect(user.valid?).to eq(false)

So if I wanted to force a page to load resources from the cache, would putting this in the header of the HTML document work?

<meta http-equiv="httpHeader" content="200">

>>52538540
made a template language for code golf or really minimal html templates, you can also inline ES6/coffeescript/stylus so you dont have to mess with gulp or webpack

github.com/falafflepotatoe/emmetp

>>52538540
don't think you can trump up a response code with a http-equiv meta tag although I've never tried it. Pretty sure no browser would try to load a page with that in it from the cache though.

>>52538593
I'm only trying to load page elements (in this case, CSS) from the cache.

>>52538603
Then you should use something like nginx or apache to serve your CSS as statics (using the fs moddates and returning 304s when the appropriate request headers are present) rather than http-equiv tags. You can't even stick that in a CSS file so it couldn't help you anyway.

>>52538646
I'm using Spring to serve the actual website itself; there are options for forcing codes, but no actual documentation on how to implement it.

>>52538675
You shouldn't be serving static content like CSS through spring, you don't need all of spring's machinery. Tomcat or whatever you're using in deployment should know how to serve static content and cache it correctly.

What are you using for a webserver? If it's TC I can point you to the right resources (or you can probably find it yourself), if it's something else I'm sure you can find it in the docs (or use nginx in front of your app server which is probably the fastest setup although it might be more complicated than is justified depending on the level of traffic you're expecting).

>>52538754
I'm using GlassFish
I should be a bit more specific about what I'm trying to achieve:
Due to limitations, I'm serving the majority of the content on the site through an iframe. Since the iframe and the main page load concurrently, someone suggested that in order to prevent re-loading of the CSS, I make sure that all content within the iframe sends an okay response before it has the chance to actually load anything. This is because my client's connection is going to be incredibly choked and I want the page to not load at an absolute crawl.

What's wrong with apache?

>>52538841
the mod_LANGUAGE system is largely reminiscent of the bad old CGI days before we learned how web servers really should work. Also it's somewhat slower than nginx and its config system is more clunky.

It's still a perfectly fine webserver, fast enough for like 99.9% of stuff and well understood/audited.

>>52538789
That's, uhh, a really weird setup.

If you reply with a 200 though literally every useragent(browser) is going to try to fetch the full resource, because that's what the HTTP specification mandates.

If you really do need the wonky iframe approach then I think you'll need to detect which requests are coming from the iframe (easy enough, add a get param or something) and refuse to send headers and a response code until the parent frame's requests complete, then serve 302s on the statics on the assumption the client has them cached (a safe assumption but still hacky as fuck). Honestly just loading the statics twice probably is fast enough that it's not worth spending your time on unless you have very high traffic or very shitty hardware

>>52539021
>302s
err, I mean 304s

Talk to me about ASP.NET 5 MVC 6, anon...

Maybe you guys can help me figure this out.

I'm making a web app for managing client databases. Specifically, filling out missing data in those databases, like phone numbers or addresses. It stores data in mysql.

Since most of those databases are right now stored in spreadsheets without any uniform formatting, I decided that i couldnt go with any pre-defined schema, so I store rows of data using numerous indexes like auto-incrementing id, timestamps, etc, and the data itself in two JSON blobs - first one with the original data, second with the data submitted by the user. For displaying and downloading I just merge these two objects together.

Well it turns out now that my manager wants the app to check the JSON data for duplicates during user submission - for example if somebody tries to submit a phone number that has been submitted before.

Now it seems all my options are shitty because the data is non-indexable. I could pass all the user-submitted data as one object to the view but it would mean every user would have to download 50 megabytes of JSON every session. I could have the server do the checking but then it would have to SELECT fucking everything everytime which would obviously slow things down.

How the hell do I proceed? It seems I'm gonna have to switch from SQL to something different.

I'm a software developer at a fintech company, working mostly with backend stuff but I've noticed a lot of JS offers in my area for double the salary. Is it worth to move to front-end dev?

Well if they've loaded the stylesheet for the parent page, they should have the stylesheet for the interior page as well if they're the same, yes?

>>52539021
Also, thanks for the ideas! I'm not entirely sure of how to impliment them but I'm sure that with enough digging through the documentation I can figure it out.

>>52540200
freecodecamp.com I have found is better than both.

Do people get annoyed at others who represent categories/types in SQL with tinyint/smallint, like 0 for male, 1 for female? I can understand they'd get annoyed if they ever got hired to work on an existing project and in their db they were aliasing dozens of different categories with just numbers, but at the same time it would result in less storage space (1 or 2 bytes) and slightly better performance compared to using characters.

How would you do it? Or how are you currently doing it?

>>52541253
Doesn't annoy me one bit(pun intended :^}) as long as there is documentation for it

Laravel is atrocious. Not syntactically, syntactically it's great. Most of the concepts are copied wholesale from ASP.NET MVC though. On the other hand, it's a slow turd. Laravel is nothing more than an abstraction layer for Symfony components and doctrine. It's slower than all of the other PHP frameworks except for Zend2 which is a complete turd. The only really is because it's a good babby's first framework, but I wouldn't tough it with a ten foot pole in a production environment, I use a PHP framework called Phalcon which is a compiled extension that exposes its functionality as PHP classes.

I had a dev working for me a year or so ago who thought Laravel was the greatest thing in the universe. One day he bet me that he could make a Laravel REST API that was faster than what I could write in Phalcon, so we wrote the most basic API we could that fetched data from the database. Deployed on a remote staging environment that was running on identical hardware to our production servers, the Phalcon API took 15ms round trip to fetch data from the database and send it to the client. The laravel app took 175ms round trip.

Laravel is a slow, if pretty, shit heap.

If I use Hack, HHVM, and React will I be able to build the next Facebook?

If I use Go and either Angular or Polymer, will I be able to build the next Google?

If I use bootstrap and bower, will I be able to build the next Twitter?

If I use static typing, continuous integration, Slack, unit testing with 110% code coverage, use a stack instead of a heap, blog about social issues, and buy a pair of thick-rimmed glasses and a superiority complex, will I be able to call myself a true Scotsman?

>>52543085
Yes.

I'm using PHP 5.6.

Due to reasons, all of the users connected to a specific webpage have to get information from the database, then do some operations with said information and display it via AJAX.

The problem is, the info they get and the operations they perform are the exact same for every single user.

Isn't there a way for the server to do these operations and get them ready for the users to retrieve later? I could technically use a database, but this data is not meant to be persistent at all so I don't really know if it would make much sense.

Like, shouldn't I be able to get the server to run some script each 10 seconds, get a result ready and just let users get that result?

>>52543533
how big is it? Write it to a file perhaps? Or put it in your code as a variable?

>>52543533
The problem with PHP CGI setups is just that- you can't share state between requests without writing to a database or file. I suggest learning another method of writing webapps when you can.

Right now, I'd say your best bet is:
>Write a server-side script (command-line PHP is a thing, if that's the only language you know right now) that processes the data and writes it to a file
>Use cron to call that script every 10 seconds
>The PHP that actually handles the user's request should basically just read from that file

The only possible issue is that you could get a race condition if the request code reads the file at exactly the same time as the processing code writes to it. To avoid this:
>Have the request code read from file.dat
>Have the processing code write to file.dat.new, then rename file.dat.new to file.dat when done

Need suggestions for a portfolio piece to work on.
Requirements:
* Needs both a complex back-end and a pretty front-end
* Complexity should be obvious just from using it. Nothing deceptively simple-looking that's complex behind the scenes, that misses the point. I need it to be impressive even to non-technical PR people and the like
* Not just yet another forum/todo list

Something something NodeJS...
Go on GitHub and find something built in PHP and rebuild it in Node.
Find web dev with personal websites and check their portfolios for ideas.

I've been searching for the past few days trying to find something to do to add to my portfolio as well. Good luck with that.

About to rent a VPS to host a site im developing. Is this a pain in the ass to set up or is it relatively easy even for a novice? Going to do basic LAMP + Phalcon.

Will i be wanting to commit suicide at the end of the week or no?

>>52545052

Nah. It's easy. I can send you a Lamp Deployment script that will install everything for you if you like.

Phalcon is pretty slick, but the learning curve is higher than some of the more popular frameworks.

>>52545052
Just so you know, popular VPS providers generally offer the choice of starting with pre-prepared images, including LAMP, LEMP, and Node setups. DigitalOcean offers this for one, and I frequently make use of it.

>>52540267
>Well if they've loaded the stylesheet for the parent page, they should have the stylesheet for the interior page as well if they're the same, yes?
That's right but there's more too it. Firstly if the two load in parallel or there's any overlap at all then the cache will be cold. Cache won't have anything in it until one of the requests is totally done. That's why you need to hold off on the responses generated by the iframe until the parent requests are done.

>>52545052
It helps to have some Linux knowledge and experience, though there's tutorials and guides out there for just about everything when it comes to Linux servers, remember to properly set up permissions, SSH keys, firewall and fail2ban, then consider things like LetsEncrypt and Mailgun for convenience.

Git is hard. Really. But once it "clicks" in your head, it's the most awesome VCS you'll ever use.
Right now, I'm using Team Foundation (Microsoft's shit) because the company has been using Microsoft's VCS since the 90s, but at my previous work we had switched from SVN to Git 9 monts before I left.
At first I was like you "MY. FUCKING. GOD. HOW HARD IS IT TO JUST BRING THE CHANGES, AND THEN UPLOAD MY CHANGES TO THE SERVER? STAGE? COMMIT? PUSH? COME FUCKING ON!!! FUCKING FREETARDS! FUCK YOU LINUS!!!"
But after hitting some walls (losing days of work because of horrible merging, and retards --forcing all the fucking way), I read Pro Git. Now, I use Git for personal projects, even if I won't be pushing to a remote server the code.

>>52548132

Right, right, that makes sense. Certainly wouldn't want to load the page with no CSS.

Selling sites on themeforest seems to be kind of profitable.

I've downloaded a few templates from there and their coding is sloppy at best, they're usually riddled with free jQuery and Wordpress plug-ins to make the site look fancy and all you need to do is copy designs from other templates but make yours different enough to not look like a straight rip off.

Take a look at this shit for example, $60 * 186,000 sales - ~35% Envato/Paypall cut = almost 4 million dollars.

I guess all you need is one big hit to establish yourself as a themeforest seller.

I feel like such a failure. I don't know how to decipher this.

https://gist.github.com/nikic/3707231

$hash = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

That line of code hashes the password.

if (password_verify($password, $hash)) {
    // password valid!
} else {
    // wrong password :(
}

That block of code is supposed to verify it. It fails every single time. I've double checked several times to make sure I'm doing it correctly but it just simply doesn't work for me. :(

Making a theme and throwing it on there seems like the easy part. How do you actually get people to buy them?

>>52551548
Are there new benchmarks? I remember reading about Laravel failing spectacularly right after 5.0 premiere, had a good laughs reading all the fanbois reactions. Otwell posted some angry tweets about how that benchmark was skewed and how laravel was not deployed for production, so some guys rerun the whole testing harness after applying all cache generating commands and L5 was still better only than Zend2. It was marginally faster than plain installation of Symfony 2.7 when using redis as cache provider.

Hey Fellas,
I need your help.
I have a form in php which shows all fields like
Test [ Input some shit here nigga ]
Test 2 [ Here again nigga ]
.
.
.
If I submit this form it goes to another php script to evalute it thats fine.
What I wanna do though is having Test [ ] displayed then clicking next will hide Test [ ]
and show Test2 [ ]
then clicken next will hide it until I reach TestX [ ]
then clicking next should submit this form to the php scripts which evaluates this form.
Is this possible if so how?

>>52553131
Sounds like you'll need a lot of JQuery/JS code.
Hide and display different sections of the form based on what the user clicks. Shouldn't be too difficult if you know how to write JS code.

>>52553188
OK alternatively I made the submit button not clickable if not every text field has something inside it.
Anyways to make a next button which hides a field and displays another?
I have an idea but I have no idea how to realize this in code or if it's possible with PHP/HTML:
Make a counter
Show every depending on if statements.
And just enumarete the fields, displaying/hiding them when the counter hits specific numbers

planing on doing a videogame using only javascript+css+html and not libraries because fuck you, for fun.

What else should I also learn?

Imagine something like an interactive book or an interactive magazine with some little minigames.

Should I also learn PHP?

What other shit I can also learn for fun for this project that maybe be cool to put.

>>52553328
fun is a buzzword

>>52553303
No, don't do it in PHP/HTML, you'll probably get lost in a shitstorm.
It's much easier with JS.

1. When the user presses the next button, use JS to append a class so that the completed section is no longer visible.
2. Make the next section visible using the same method.
3. At the end gather all the data from the form and submit it like you would any other.

All the JS is doing in this case is removing a completed section and showing the section that follows. Not too hard.

>>52553044

I don't know nothing about GIT but I use git desktop like a good winpleb.

It's dreamweaver good for web development (making a webpage)?

does it allow for programming in basic javascript?

Guys, I never ask for advice here, but I really need some today. I have been doing web dev for only 2 years, and am totally self taught, so I don't have much confidence, but I try to hide that. My boss decided I should try to train up a team of 2-3 people that are literally straight out of college. Without going into too much detail about my business, we currently go to a client, quote a web app, do the app, try to stay on our hourly budget, repeat. One of these people straight out of college is bugging the shit out of everyone about how we should internally ignore the budget of the apps we make, and just make them as perfect as possible so we have something to "show" that looks and feels nice. This guy has been here 8 months, and literally didn't know how to write a single line of backend code (no joke, he didn't even know how to declare a variable). He has come a long way and is a pretty hard worker, but is really god damn slow, at least compared to me. Should I get rid of this guy now, or is there merit in what he is saying? An example of his work is he is making a drag and drop scheduler similar to a watered down version of JS FullCalendar (single day view only). He is currently on track for it to take 250 hours to do this. How much is a guy like this worth?

>>52553328
>I want to do a videogame using only X, Y, and Z. What else should I use?
uhh, what?

PHP is used as a serverside language, something that generates HTML. You probably don't need it to make a game unless you have state that outlives a session (like save games or a leaderboard or something).

Most interesting browser games are made with either Flash (bretty shitty but historically well supported) or Canvas (sexy and new but not as mature, probably what you want to use). Canvas interface is all JS, you won't even need to learn a significant amount of HTML or CSS to use it although you will have to learn 2D graphics programming which is fun but non-trivial. Dust off your trig textbook if you haven't used it in the last few years.

>>52554088
>does dreamweaver allow for using javascript?
It does, and most professional JS developers use a basic programming text editor (ala sublime, atom, vim, emacs, i.e. not an IDE) and DW certainly has that although it's reason for existing isn't that. So yeah, you can use dreamweaver but if you're doing a canvas game there's going to be a lot of functionality in dreamweaver you simply aren't going to be utilizing, which is fine but something keep in mind.

Also professionals kinda scoff at DW, I think it's a little unfair but it's kind of a truism that not a lot of experienced devs use it. So while there's no causative relationship between DW and novicehood it is a litmus test a lot of people hold to.

>>52554638
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Media_Queries/Using_media_queries

Think of them like if statements in programming.

@media (min-width: 700px) { 
    /* CSS code here */
}

That's a basic example. What that does is for every screen size at 700px or under, the CSS defined inside it will be applied to your page. So what you need to do is make a few media queries (you probably won't need more than 4) and set the desired font-size in each.

>>52554556

Hey curryniggers.

Just a quick question for you.

Is it possible to hide an element, but not the contents of it's :before pseudoselector?

Let's say I have a checkbox with

:before {
content: "fuggg"
border: 1px solid #000;
background: #fff;
}

And I want to hide the default checkbox and only leave the graphic created with :before pseudoselector visible.

How do I do that?

>>52557157
Make the portfolio look like any of the "2015 HTML5 Boostrap templates" and fill it with a variety of websites.

Every company gets tens of candidates for each position, they invite only the few ones they like, mostly because of their experience/linkedin profile/portfolio/github.

There's no time in HR for carefully examining every project you shit out.

>>52558451
Set the position of both elements as absolute, and change their z-indexes.
Or use visibility: hidden.

HOWEVER, you don't need javascript for this shit if you are planning to use it.
http://codepen.io/CreativeJuiz/pen/BiHzp

>>52532835
Erm your javascript is running in one window and your controls are in an iframe. That's 2 different contexts. Those windows can't just share the same script you know.

>Javascript: Validate form data on the client-side.
Don't do this. This poses a security risk especially for login/sign up forms. Use AJAX to send the results from the backend, but use JS to display the result.

>>52561162
Actually you should do both: Verify data client-side and server-side.

what sort of skills do you need to run a server/network for a university? Like what languages, experience, etc.

>>52561215
The simple stuff that doesn't pose a security threat (like checking if required fields are empty) can be done client side, sure. But validating email addresses, passwords, etc. should be done back end.

What kind of framework/design patter you guys use to design your applications? Seems like most stuff is designed for sites that aren't supposed to be more than a form with a submit button.

Using [mantra](https://github.com/mantrajs) with meteor right now. Seems all right for small stuff so far

So you have the answer, yet you went to uni, and you are sad and cocky coz you wasted 250 000 on it, but this guy has a job, and no debt unlike you ?

Way to go pal, way to go...

What's the simplest of the simplest task you can perform and get paid for it in freelance?
I already have a portfolio in web design and software dev and shit, but I want to start very small first.

Hello, how is everyone?

>>52530426
Damn this false advertising, no one cares about web development. I would find a discussion with a gaming developer very enlightening though.

Where is the best resource to learn PHP and a framework, I want to be employable in the shortest ammount of time and from what I have seen on here PHP seems to be the way to go (then once in work look at changing to another language).

All the stuff in OP seems to be about learning Ruby

hello /g/
I was writing my own CSS for 4chan, but I can't figure out how to replace the X button of the quick reply window (pic related)
pls help

I already made an image http://i.imgur.com/OXcb1hr.png

How do I count the number of a certain class in a page? I keep getting undefined:

var numQuestions = $('.question').length;
function myFunction() {
    document.getElementById("numQ").innerHTML = numQuestions;
}

I've also tried .size()

which one is undefined? $('.question'), document.getElementById('numQ'), numQuestions?

I got it, nevermind. I just forgot to link jQuery. Thanks, though!

>>52563685
Look for class "close"

>>52563685

.extButton {
    background: url('xxx');
}

replace xxx with image in base64 encoding. it should work i think

I have no problem finding the class. It's just that I don't know how to replace it. I think I've followed this tutorial correctly, but it doesn't work for me
