I'm making a small javascript game using websockets to communicate with the backend. Does anyone here know anything about websockets? Any recommendations on a API/framework to use? Preferably in JS, Python, Ruby, or Java.

You guys lied to me when you said I needed to sanitize my inputs before executing them. With my current setup, it's only passed as an argument.
I have a div with a background image that I plan on applying a transparent gradient over. Is there a way to have the div resize automatically to ensure the background image is at 100% size.
I essentially want it to perform in the same way as an image with its width set to 100% so that when I make the browser smaller it gets smaller as well.

Should I actually be applying for junior front end positions right now or should I be focusing on improving a lot before applying? My anxiety is getting in the way so much that I can't tell what I should be doing.
>>52837165
Apply to all positions you are interested in.
The worst that can happen is that they turn you down. The best that can happen is that you get a job.
It also depends where you are. Some companies would rather have someone with a degree, others want experience.
What I would do is, apply to all jobs you want, and start working on a portfolio website. Make some mock up websites with a fake company and all that for a 'showcase', since you don't have any clients yet.
What are you going to school for? Computer Science?
>>52837165
You'd never find out unless you try.
>>52837165
I have the same problem. I'm going to college and I hate dealing with all the gen ed bull shit classes. I just want a job but I feel I should really stick it out for a degree
I'm learning about constructor functions. Is there any reason not to create objects like this every time?
>>52837165
if you quit now and start working on front end, you'll be one of those people that only knows how to do front end web development
if you finish your degree and actually give a shit about your classes, you'll be prepared for a lot more programming positions and won't be stuck in front end webdev.
ideally you would work as a web developer while simultaneously working on your education. if they'll let you do part-time work, that would be the best way to go.
>>52837560
The first route only happens if anon quits and only does front end for the rest of his life. He could just as easily learn to do other things now that he dropped out and has free time outside of his job.
The second route doesn't guarantee he'll be ready for other positions at all. Especially if someone's considering dropping out, they probably aren't attending a school worth shit.

* Mockups provided but I would need to also produce a more accurate/final one
* Some extra features (like feeds from various social networks, shoppable product links (not ecommerce))

-Depends on the scope of the site
-Depends on the scope of the site
-Depends on whether or not you're using preexisting plugins

this.spaces = [];
var x, y;
for(x = 1; x <= width; x++) {
this.spaces[x] = [];
for(y = 1; y <= height; y++) {
this.spaces[x][y] = "(" + x + "," + y + ")";
}
}
Explain this piece of code.
>>52839571
>this.spaces = [];
makes this.spaces an array
> var x, y;
> for(x = 1; x <= width; x++) {
of width 'width'
> this.spaces[x] = [];
makes this.spaces[x] and array, i.e., this.spaces is a two dimentional array
> for(y = 1; y <= height; y++) {
of height 'height'
> this.spaces[x][y] = "(" + x + "," + y + ")";
and each element of the array (of size width x height) is something like "(0,0)", "(0,1)"... "(1,0)" "(0,1)" etc.

I'm new to using jQuery so I was messing with some effects in the AP to see what I'm working with.. How to I make the second button make the center panel disappear?
Here's the HTML/CSS

$(document).ready(function() {
$("button").click(function() {
$("#left").css("color", "blue").css("border", "solid 2px pink").slideUp("20000");

});
$(document).ready(function() {
$("button").click(function() {
$("#center").css("color", "blue").css("border", "solid 2px pink").slideUp("20000");
});
});

Sorry I'm new at this
>>52841352
It's generally better to not include inline-anything, as it makes your code messy. However, if you're simply doing a single, uncomplicated function, it's fine to leave it as an attribute tag. However, if you think you'll be re-using some function, it's better to make a function for it in the script tags so it's more easily re-usable.
The rule of thumb in all software design is 0, 1, or infinity. In this context, it means that if you're only planning on doing something once, don't worry about using the function later on down the line for other things (abstraction). However, if you're going to use it any more than once, make it a function so you can use it an infinite amount of times. You'll find this principle in all programming.
Also, you don't need to include$(document).ready(function(){ ... } );
for every single function. You only need to put it once at the beginning, and put everything else in it.
Also, after a `{` bracket, you should indent the next line, like:
function(){
console.log("indentation makes your code easier to read for everyone!");
}
it makes it easier for you to find something later on. You're doing it somewhat, but you should do it consistently. If you're really anal about things like that, consider checking out the google javascript styleguide sometime at
https://google.github.io/styleguide/javascriptguide.xml
nobody is really gonna yell at you if you don't adhere to google's styleguide or not (except maybe google), but having SOME consistent formatting makes it easier to navigate.
also, if you want to do what I said, but with the $().click function, you can do$(button).click(function(){
$(this).parent().hide();
}
Using node.js, JS, html, and css can I create a pretty chillio website? Or should I branch out a bit more.

Are Ruby on Rails and Django easier to learn than Express/Node? I know a little Python and I'm trying to teach myself full stack web dev so I can get a jr web dev job. I'm running into a lot of problems with MEAN stack because of the clusterfuck of modules and frameworks, and the fact that I don't know JS only compounds my troubles. RoR and Django seem much more straight forward, at least at first glance?
>make million dollars with web dev
>write book on how to make million dollars with web dev

Fake it till you make it.
>>52841753
Django might be good for ya.
>>52841825
Tbh I'm leaning toward Rails because the job market seems much stronger than Django. Realistically, would leaning and using Rails prevent me from creating something that could only be done in Node?
>>52841753
Choose what makes most sense to you. Django is a good start since you know Python.
But you should learn js if you're going fullstack.
>>52841912
I plan to learn js eventually but I just can't understand how everything ties together in the MEAN stack, let alone how to make anything with it. RoR and Django seem much simpler in this regard.
If you're a Jr web dev and you aren't spending your time learning Java and/or .NET you need to stop what you're doing right now. Learn the languages that dominate enterprise before you spend time learning the trendy languages.
>>52841870
Doesn't really matter what you use, but rails can handle less requests per second than node if I remember right.
>>52841930
This helped me with the basics, senpai
>>52841930
I would avoid that as an intro. It's good to learn how to be organized. jQuery is on the majority of the web, so I would learn that too.
>>52841739
Well, I messed up by typing$(button), it should've been$("button")
If you want to differentiate between buttons, you need to use more intelligent querys (hence, jquery!). You can do a few things. You can select by id, class, attribute, tag, and I think a few other things.
So, let's take an example DOM:<div id="parent1" class="wide" height="100px">
<p id="child">Text</p>
</div>
<div id="parent2" class="wide" height="200px">
<p id="child">More Text</p>
</div>
and the css is:#parent1{
background: blue;
color: white;
}
#parent2{
background: red;
color: red;
}
.wide{
width: 2000px;
}
#child{
font-weight: bold;
}
So we've got a few things here. First, we've got 2 id's: parent1 and parent1. An ID should be unique to the tag you're using. Would you like it if someone else had your social security number? Then he could apply to jobs in your name and fuck with your taxes and shit! Fuck that. Anyways, if you give something an id, make sure it's the only thing with that id. If you need to assign the same css attributes to multiple divs, that's what a class is for! in css, the # tag corresponds to using the id="" attribute in html. So if you have #parent{...} in css, that means that every html element with id="parent" will have those css properties. the same goes for classes! I'm sure you know this, but the notation is important to jquery.
if you want to select the first div, called parent1, you would use$("#parent1"). Notice how the query uses the # from css? not a coincidence! similarly, if you want to select a class using jquery, you can do$(".wide"), and that will select both divs, since they're both of the "wide" class (very wide as it turns out! 2000px! wow!)
Now you notice that each div has <p> tag in it called "child". "Wait a minute anon! didn't you say not to use the same id twice?"
(cont...)
>>52842203
(cont)
Excellent observational skills, anon! I DID make two <p> tags with the same id!
Well, this is a fundamental part of structured programming called scope! Despite the fact that they're both "child" ids, each div only has one DOM with the tag of "child". This is because you can COMBINE queries!
For example, if I wanted to select all <p> tags with the id "child", I would simply do$("#child"), and that would get EVERYTHING with that id.
But what if I only wanted to get the child of the first div, with the id "parent1"? you COMBINE queries. Simply add a space!$("#parent1 #child")
This will go to #parent1, and the it will look for all tags with the id #child, and select them. You can, in fact, do this in CSS as well!
"But anon, what does this have to do with my original question! I wanted to know about making JS buttons do shit!"
Excellent inquiry young jedi knight. Remember how you used$("button")
? well that selected every <button> tag. If you query words with the # or . notation, it query tags. So if you want all <p> tags, it's$("p")
etc.
So if you want buttons to do different things, you need to give them id tags! take for example this:
<button id="b1">Nummer 1</button>
<button id="b2">Nummer 2</button>
<button id="b3">Nummer 3</button>
and the Javascript is:
$("#b1").click(function(){
console.log("Slovakia je cislo jedna!"); // or "Slovakia is #1!"
});
$("#b2").click(function(){
console.log("Cesko je cislo dva!"); // or "Czech Republic is #2!"
});
$("#b3").click(function(){
console.log("jQuery is great!");
});
So you now see that the first function selects the first button since it has the id "b1", etc.!
this is how you differentiate between DOMs!
(cont...)
>>52842301 (You)
As a side note, you can select element based on other attributes! using # and . is shorthand for another select: [name="value"]
so if you have an element like:<div width="50"></div>
<p width="50"></p>
<span width="25"></span>
<input width="50"></input>
And you wanted to get everything with width "50". It would be hard to select some of these because they're different tags! you could do$("div, p, input")but that would be too verbose, you could select unwanted divs, p's, and inputs, AND you might be missing some other tags that are width="50"; you'd have to search your entire code for that damned element!
Fortunately, the CSS gods have given us the [name="value"] selector.
the first part, "name" is the name of the attribute. in this case, it is "width". the "value" part is the value of the attribute! in this case "50". So to intelligently select our desired DOMs, we do:$('[width="50"]')
notice that I used ' to open the string.
make sure that if you have double quotes ( " ) in your string, you open that string with single quotes, otherwise it will cause unintended consequences! Javascript doesn't make any distinction between the two. you could also do it the other way:$("[width='50']")
it doesn't matter; just use different quotes inside your string than outside your string!
(historical note: more strictly typed languages like C make the distinction between ' and ". single quotes denote a single character, like'f'and double quotes denote a whole STRING of character like"C is rad!")
so now you the basic selectors! Always remember, though: if something can be done more simply in CSS, USE CSS. jQuery is a magical tool, but make sure what you want to do can't be done in CSS or HTML first!
how do you make quick & dirty html5/css/JS mockups/skeletons/...?

Just starting webdev, for both demonstrating to employers and if going freelance, when making a site, what % of sites need to be responsive? Since learning about it I expected to see a lot of sites using it and I had just never noticed, but in reality so many good sites don't seem to bother with it.
>>52834866
Yes since any serious tech company will be using bitbucket
>>52842992
jQuery is a library written in JavaScript (a language). It provides for a number of common things that web developers commonly use (like selecting things in the DOM).
A few lesser-known libraries that are really appreciated by people that know of them include
- underscore.js
- lodash.js (like low-dash)
both characteristically use _ as the namespace (and they're not typically used together).
I'm making some sites for my portfolio but don't know what to make them about.
Does it really matter what type of sites i make to get a job or will the employer be looking just for design and functionality?
Already have a portfolio site done, what are some other sites i can make?

I think what would be more interesting is a website or webapplication that shows your knowledge of several technical aspects, like ajax with json, css animations, backend administration, databases, just to name a few. A proper webdeveloper can do more than just fling together an html/css website that looks flashy. As for selection of language, pick the one you like best and go with it. An employer will be looking more at your general understanding of things and your level of thinking, and having matching knowledge would be just a plus. In most companies you'll have to learn whatever tool it is they are using, as there are many and it cannot be expected of you to know them all.
how do you get started with web development, I've learned HTML and CSS but what else do I need to know before I can take actual work either freelance or job? Can anyone point me in the direction, no need to explain everything just give me a word or a link and I'll get to learning it.

The problem with high level frameworks like Rails and Django, to me, is that they're so heavily abstracted it can feel like they're limiting your freedom at times.
You won't have that problem with Flask. It's simple and straightforward. It's not as heavily abstracted as Rails and Django are. It's a good introduction to MVC

node can do sockets easier than rails but that's about it.
for regular websites both are fine.
the thing is that if you're using a front-end framework like Angular, you don't need a lot of the stuff in Rails, so node + express tends to be a quicker/easier choice (basically, you only need an API server).

Wordpress newbie here.
I have host. I have domain. I have pointed DNS to new host. I have "installed wordpress 4.2.2". I have downloaded .zip theme.
Now, when I try to install, I got a "missing style.css" or "missing index.html" message.
I found those files and put them in the first directory, then it installed, but missing header and slider.
I have uploaded the theme to dropcanvas, can anyone take a look? this is without re-arrange style.css and index.html

>get a job doing asp.net

I have a "save changes" button in my web application, which sends a request to the server to save all the modification in a "dummy table" into the real table. How can I make it so the user doesn't spam the button? Only making the button inactive seems to dangerous.
I want to create a big "Slider" on my website, like a lot of websites have. Just 4 or 5 images where the user can slide left or right or pick which slide from buttons at the bottom.
Is it best to make this in CSS3 or JS, I know some people disable JS but older browsers don't have CSS3 compatability
>>52848704
yes, i have own domain, own hosting, etc.
the theme is appearing but for example, I had to manually activate the "slider", so what else do I need to activate

>>52825595
Well, it's giving me good money so far. I didn't knew making sites is so easy and give so much back.
>>52848700
honestly, I don't know much about webdev... even less about PHP or node.js, so I can't comment on that
>>52848771
ah! yeah i totally had some issues with stuff like that. honestly i would look at their theme demo page, see what they refer to (ie sliders, any other fun little animation nonsense) and then poke around for how to activate.
that's how i ended up getting the hang of where things might end up. sometimes things are just hidden and stupid, like theme makers not including what shortcode you might need for their email form to even appear.

guess putting a captcha or something could help, since it would slow down the user. I don't see any way of doing it programmatically.
>>52849572
wondering about this myself, too
>>52848736
block any other requests while it's processing the first, that's how ASP.NET does it when using server side sessions.
>>52848736
check if any changes are actually made to whatever the user is saving before touching the database. Editing things and spamming is more tiring, that is if they do it manually.
if the user saves >10 times in let's say 10 seconds then start asking them to fill out captcha for some time.
>>52844490
Well sometimes it does hurt to know PHP
>>52848736
>Only making the button inactive seems to dangerous
Why so? Are you afraid of a web developer disabling your disable and spamming it?
>>52848736
Standard practice is making the button "unclickable" while the request is processing, or showing a spinner that blocks user input.
>>52847718
negligible. It's most likely implemented as a single memory address pointing to your function.
>>52849915
>>52849942
you faggot(s) know anything about HTTP and security?
>>52849977
Clearly you don't. What does disabling a button have to do with security ? It doesn't leave the user vulnerable to any XSS, or CSRF attacks. It simply disables a button to prevent the user from making multiple concurrent HTTP requests for the same resource.
>>52849977
That's not a security issue (unless your database call is so extremely expensive that it's a target for DOS)
>>52850025
I also would not consider a DOS attack a "security" issue.
>>52850042
Yeah, but it's the closest thing I could think of that would relate to security. Like, loosely "a threat" of sorts.
>>52850018
>>52850025
from what I understand, he wants to stop the user spamming the SERVER. disabling a buttong won't help, you can still forge requests from, say, a python script
and it could be a security issue if you have a race condition, for example. see http://sakurity.com/blog/2015/05/21/starbucks.html
I'm a fucking NEET and I know this...
Check ip then store timestamp if it does not exist. Compare timestamps and if less than say 30 minutes then do nothing, else run your query.
I did this on one of my websites because people were spamming posts.
>>52850150
>>52850150
All he said was "How can I make it so the user doesn't spam the button?". This makes me think that the problem is related to the front-end of the website (where the button is), and not related to DOS attacks. I certainly wouldn't assume it based on the way the question was phrased.
You're inferring a lot about his system from his pretty sparse question.
>>52848769
Depends if you care about IE 9 and below (or Opera Mini)
http://caniuse.com/#feat=input-range
I'd vote CSS (or rather HTML5) unless your demographics say otherwise
>>52850150
The reason I said
>Why so? Are you afraid of a web developer disabling your disable and spamming it?
Transferring data from a dummy table to the real table doesn't have a race condition security problem. It doesn't matter how many times they save if the modification done to the dummy table are safe. Anyways, the protection should just be on the database and it's locking scheme, use of transactions for multiple updates, and rolling back in case of an error. Rarely should you care if a malicious user slams your web endpoints.
>>52849942
This is the way to go, I've had several cases of users double-clicking submit buttons.
If it's for anti-spam like some seem to think they a captcha would solve that.

Phew lad, my question seemed to have sparked quite the discussion.
For the record, I want to make it inactive even when using a bash scripts or whatever. Blocking any http calls should work.
Thanks y'all
>>52850369
Cheers for that link, very handy. I think I will go with CSS as I am pretty sure IE is pretty unused in the UK and it's a responsive site so I will probably just disable the slider when it gets to mobile res anyway.
Now I just need to find a good slider tutorial.
>>52850515
So because it might not be Google, they should skip out on good practices is what you're saying?
>>52850531
Blocking a client from making requests while the server processes is usually not good practice.
1. It means your sessions need to be sticky, or otherwise you will need to store the fact that the request is processing. This could lead to some concurrency problems of it's not done correctly, and it adds a lot of additional complexity into the system.
2. Is the resource behind an auth mechanism ? If not, you would need to tie the user to their IP address which would cause a whole host of other problems.
What exactly are you concerned about them doing if they go outside of your UI to make requests ? IMO a user that does this is forfeiting his/her right to a good experience. Your backend should make it impossible for them to do anything other than ruin their own experience anyways.

That's literally what webdevs do. You should check that obscure repository, github.
>>52850889
You are incorrect, my friend. People cared enough to write a vpn spam bot with random wording just to spam ANY site. Askimet was built to counter this.
>>52850733
No auth mechanism, just cookie-based sessions.
The idea is that the user makes some modifications to the data he uploaded. These changes will be saved in a copy of the real data, and when the user clicks on the save button the copy will replace the real data.
So saving changes might take a little bit of time, because the old data needs to be updated and the copy needs to be removed. Spamming this operation might lead to some db problems.
>>52850515
I used to have a couple of personal 'dropplets' with digital ocean and both got DDoS'd after only a few weeks of being active. I followed the basic guide on how to make them more secure in their site but they still got nuked. Maybe it was Digital Ocean's garbage service fault, though.
>>52850977
Then your problem is not really with the button at all. You need to wrap your query in a transaction to ensure that updating the resource is an atomic operation.
>>52851029

I really need help - I get hardly any visitors from web searching at all. I did all the standard SEO procedures, like setting up Google Webmaster console, submitting my website to directories and search engines, creating and fetching a sitemap, keyword research, meta tags and optimal keyword density. Yet, I get 3 visitors a day from web searching at most, and the site has been up for almost 2 months now. Most visitors come from referral for some reason.
What am I doing wrong? How to (significantly) increase my search engine traffic?
>>52852097
Advertisement campaign with a good PR company.
>>52852097
Probably bad content, too small target market, and/or too much competition.
I have never had to SEO, so something is wrong if you do and have no results.
>>52852278
Well, my bounce rate is small and the returning visitor rate is high (over 60%), so I doubt that it's because of the content.
My niche has medium to low competition (spent a while analyzing it before entering), and it isn't exactly small.

but you should know about writing tests for JS
>>52852455
If competition is low and keywords are frequently searched then you should be PR1 and pulling in the numbers.
Check the people beating you in pagerank and see what they are doing.
It might be site age and lack of content affecting PR.
I think websites that give new content to crawlers on visits rank higher.
>>52853285
Depends what you are going for.
If you want to be a frontend web developer, and end up using premade themes/bootstrap all the time, then no one will take you seriously.
If you are a backend web developer, and just need a theme to represent your content, then sure, its no problem, but it will still look like every other themed site.
