Do what you like to do, don't just learn PHP or friggin ASP.NET just because there are job listings for those things. There are fewer node jobs, but also fewer candidates for those jobs. So its reasonably likely that you could still get a job working with your preferred stack.
>>53716078
I know PHP already, that's probably why Node feels so good. I guess I could make a portfolio and apply somewhere, and take the PHP world by storm.

> Overuses the word "like"
Ugh
The other day I had an interview and the guy was asking me lots of questions about the concept of Test Driven Development, Unit Tests and how to throw a nice unit test framework around webservice development.
Unfortunately I couldn't answer all his questions.
What's a good place to start learning general stuff, from http-mocks to unit testing webservices?
is everyone here a professional >delevoper ?
Im studying economics and management and dont really need it, but people are interested when I tell them that I know more shit, also could be usefull if I focus on online marketing or get bored in management jobs
any other people like me ?
>>53716649
fuck. I have no idea what any of that means
>>53716659
Nope. Chemist in training here. Do webdev for fun.
>>53716567
Do you have any videos of your conference talks?
>>53717022
What?
>>53717033
I just assumed that you were better at giving conference talks since you were complaining about how he overuses the word 'like'.
>>53717067
Cook Soup etc. Why should I have to be a conference talker to be annoyed by the overuse of the word "like"?
>>53717067
If the audience is annoyed, the conference talk is shit.
Good luck with that attitude, though.
>>53717067
So nobody is allowed to be critical unless they're better at it? Ok
I want an image on my HTML to change according to a javascript variable.
How can i do it?
Where do i store the image adress? An array?
The images are on the same directory as the html by the way.
>>53718365
Its just a stupid thing to be critical about.
>>53718511
Do you want it to change automatically or based on user actions?
Anyone else's learning based on a specific job they want? Company not too far from me just requires the typical 3 web dev languages + Ruby on Rails, no educational requirements of any kind (have an unrelated BA tho) and pays close to 70k. I haven't looked into Ruby yet tho.
>>53718837
I wouldn't be too set on one specific job, apply for a ton of different jobs and try to include many different things in your learning.
>>53718801
Based on user action mainly, but i also want it to change automatically, at a very low chance (1 on 1000000 for example)
>>53718894
There are plenty of Ruby dev jobs, they'll probably be fine even if they don't get that one in particular.
>>53718959
Probably, but he doesn't even know if he actually likes ROR enough to do it for a living.
>>53718975

>>53718894
I'll definitely apply to as many as I can, but I figure it's a well-established tech company that pays well (very unusual in my state) so it's good motivation.
/wdg/ how do you login a user with a hashed password?
my user table has a password column, and the passwords are hashed when the passwords are created. I don't know how to sign into the site since I can't match the hashed pw in the table, to the password users enter on the login screen.$email = "[email protected]
$password = "12345";
$securePass = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
$selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Email = :email LIMIT 1";
$statement = $db->prepare($selectQuery);
$statement->bindValue(":email", $email);
$statement->execute();
$post = $statement->fetch();
echo $securePass . "<br/>";
echo $post['PASSWORD'];
This doesn't work because the hashed password is different, obviously, but I'm wondering how you're supposed to retrieve it in the first place. the 2 echos at the bottom give different results, so how do you login?
>>53719295
Hash the submitted password and compare it with the hashed password from the db.
>>53719295
load salt and hash from database.
hash entered password with the same salt
compare results
>>53719042
>RoR
>>53719410
if you're using the password_hash() function, how do you store the salt separately? I don't have the salt in my table
>>53719419
Who cares, my happiness and ease of maintenance comes before "scaling issues" that I'll never experience anyway because I'm not building fucking Twitter.
If it's good enough for GitHub then it's probably good enough for me.
>>53719454
generate a random salt, append it to the password, hash it and save it alongside the hash in the database.
we use the same field for it at work and just split it with some special character.
>>53719506
You're not supposed to use a salt with the password_hash() function. The salt parameter is also deprecated in PHP 7
>>53719552
sorry I'm unfamiliar with PHP, salt it manually then?
>>53719340
the submitted password is always different because password_hash() uses a different salt every time
>>53719295
https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.password-verify.php
>>53719565
Don't even salt. Just password_hash($password)
It's in the holy book

Which the best-supported and best-featured sliders out there?
I've used Owl and Fotorama until now, but I got issues with each of them. Owl basically broke down completely in some IE versions and has a really shitty documentation so you're bound to waste a lot of time digging thru options to find something you can work with.
Fotorama is really easy to work with and seems to have great support for older browsers, but it seems to crash the page completely on the 1st generation of ipads and I don't really have the time to debug their shit to fix it.
So any good sliders out there with great options and support for older browsers? I could google it, which I did a lot in the past, but at this point I'm looking for tried and tested experience from other people who worked with them, not just google search results.
Using Browserify and Gulp. Currently I'm building one monolithic app bundle, definining one class per logical page of my application, and adding a tiny bit of manual JS to each page to use the correct class.
It works fine, but it's a bit inefficient since all code for all pages gets served for every page. Ideally I'd like to build one "core" module, and then another for reach page. This seems to be slightly contrary to the way Browserify works, though. Advice?
>>53720289
>definining one class per logical page of my application
>>53720621
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. Of course I do compartmentalise things further, but I still have a short wrapper Foo class to handle /foo, and Login to handle /login, and so on.
And by "class", I mean the usual bastardized "function with a prototype" JS equivalent of one.
I was told my captcha is easy to go around, please test and report back how:

As far as tech, their back end is some kind of custom machine learning ai future shit, but frontend looks like various libs they mashed together. I didn't see any signs of any notable frameworks, but I didn't really look that hard.

https://dribbble.com/shots/2614253-Gamer-Meld
I see stuff like this on Dribbble all the time; my question is do they actually make them or do they just create mockkups in Photoshop? Been thinking about making stuff like this for my portfolio but actually using html/css.
>>53723951
What the fuck, since when are there three b's in dribbble? Anyway that doesn't really seem that hard to make. Go for it, bruh.
I want to design a Neopets like website, but on a smaller scale, that will adjust for phone and tablet use. I know basic HTML, php, and little JavaScript. What would be the best way about developing this.
>>53724957
Learning HTML + CSS, responsive design, then bootstrap
Or just use some shitty template online and call it a day
>>53723951
>my question is do they actually make them or do they just create mockkups in Photoshop?
https://gamermeld.com/
My guess would be photoshop.
But if you're going for an entry level position, don't reach beyond your grasp. If you attempt to create a portfolio that is beyond your current abilities, its likely that you'll just fuck it up. Good design draws attention to the content, not to the design, and browsing a site like dribbble is all about emphasizing design.
Concentrate on good, solid, consistent, lightweight, mobile-friendly, responsive, buzzwordy frontend shit. If you design a 'mobile first' responsive landing page like that, and then have a 3mb high-res picture of a horse in the background, you're going to look like a dumbass.
>>53723997
probably since people started buying good domains and squatting on them hoping to sell them for ridonkulous sums of money.
Do you want to pay $18,723 for dribble.com or any other non-retarded misspelled domain name in the world? Be my guest.
lol, web development. Enjoy your shit-tier salaries.
>>53724992
That's not hard to make (the fancy dribbble login page). It's just a slider on the left and some input elements on the right. The rest is just design, it's not particularly difficult to make that. Of course, it depends on how fancy you're supposed to make those inputs and slider, how complex and snappy the animations should be etc. Then there is also the question of performance on lower-end devices.
But yeah, I agree that as a beginner maybe you should focus on just building functional stuff which uses some mainstream frameworks.
Every interview I've been to they asked me how fast I can build a responsive page, they didn't care much which tools I used, as long as it worked on anything at least from IE9 up, etc. In fact, when I told them I wouldn't use much jQuery because you don't learn much if you use jQuery all the time, they agreed but said: but if you had to build something fast, would you use jQuery? You see what I mean? Employers care about delivering finished products fast and efficiently, as long as it works and you can do it fast, they don't care much about whether you used Bootstrap or not. But obviously using Bootstrap and jQuery will make you build a page a lot faster than if you didn't use them.
>>53725033
It's god-tier for the amount of skill that goes into it
>>53725236
true. lowest skilled and lowest paid are web devs.
>>53725236
Dude, I started with C++. And I find it more stresful to work with CSS than with C++. It's not the complexity of the language or what it can do that makes a project difficult, it's more about that in webdev you're asked to do shit that is not possible and somehow you have to make it happen.
>>53723997
I did. I started making my own UI-pack last month and made this. It doesn't look half as good as the one on Dribbble though, which is making me reconsider putting it in my portfolio. [pic related]
>>53724992
Awesome. I'm more into the back-end stuff anyway, I was just trying to build my skills on the front-end as well.
>>53725170
>You see what I mean? Employers care about delivering finished products fast and efficiently, as long as it works and you can do it fast, they don't care much about whether you used Bootstrap or not.
Depends where you work. Some places care more about quality. I'd be concerned if in an interview they were talking like that. They don't care as long as I do it fast? I bet they also don't care if I have to stay late to put out the fires because we slapped a shitty mess together as fast as possible and rushed it out the door.
I don't want to work for a Pajeet Wordpress sweatshop.
>>53725033
>shit-tier salaries
>>53725033
I know you're trolling, but just to let everyone know how ignorant you are; there are Jr web dev positions paying anywhere from $60k upwards depending on where you live.
>>53725383
60k!
hear that!? 60k salary!
wow. so good.
>>53725411
Don't worry. If you've got some kind of experience with a useless language that nobody uses anymore, I'm sure you can retrain to something that is commercially viable and in demand.
You don't have to spend the rest of your days as a NEET making sad bitter posts on /g/.

So uh, anyone knows a good way to check to check for a redirect with Capybara and RSpec?
Kinda likescenario 'Create a poll with valid data' do
visit new_poll_path
within('#poll_form') do
select('Multiple choice with single answer', from: 'Question Type')
fill_in('Question Title', with: 'My new question')
fill_in('Option 1', with: 'My first option')
fill_in('Option 2', with: 'My second option')
fill_in('Option 3', with: 'And a third one')
click_on('Check by browser')
click_on('Create Poll')
end
expect(page).to have_current_path(poll_path(*WHAT DO?*))
end
I'm just starting out so that test may not actually work, but I need to check that the user is sent to the poll path before I check if the page has the expected content.
How do I get that new object? Poll.last seems flaky as the query may not be done by then. And I'm not sure if adding a string check with a regular expression is a good idea either.

Been doing JSF2/Java development for the past 3 years and i want to learn a bit more about the javascript client-side technologies since i'm more interested in frontend development.
Besides nodejs shit, what framework is a good place to start and has some actual support and won't die in a year or two?
>>53735599
There are tons of them. Here are some of the big ones:
Angular 1 - On its way out, but plenty of tutorials and guides. Very popular, therefore likely to still see use for several years.
Angular 2 - New hotness. Functionally does the same thing as Angular 1, but the implementation has changed considerably and is now more like React. Uses typescript, so you might want to learn that. Currently still in beta so some minor things may change before it's officially released. Tutorials may be slightly harder to find and the ones that exist may be outdated
React - Meme of the week. Only does UI / View stuff, you you'll want to do something else for your model / controller / whatever. Uses JSX, so you might want to learn that.
>>53735599

>>53736233
Well no shit, are you serious?
>>53736342
No one is going to hire you for any programming job and web development in particular just because you can do a fizzbuzz.
All fizzbuzz does is filter out the applicants that are just spit-balling every job opening just to see if they get any bites. (To be fair, that actually works in a lot of other fields.)
You do need to be able to solve simple algorithmic problems like that, but you also need to demonstrate that you can actually do the work.
>>53736463
Do they bother to test people with a great track record? I mean the ones with good work experience in the same field and glowing recommendations. It would be a bit un-necessary imo.
>>53736209
Yeah, I'm currently employed as a junior developer. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm not really enjoying it. I was under the assumption that using git(hub) and unit testing was a given at any shop, and I found out that wasn't the case. Makes development on a team a nightmare. I also started devving with Rails but this shop uses PHP and I also feel like I'm using something that is out of favor in places I want to move/dev in.
Also, I spent most of my time here working on new features that are NEVER scoped out well because there's no project manager. The CTO acts as the PM which is a bad idea.
This may all be because of where I am (San Antonio), but I'm sure there are other places that are more ideal at which to work.
>>53736463

If you don't mind me asking, since it sounds like you have experience: my cohort has been jumping jobs like you mentioned since we graduated (mid 2014). How common is it for this to happen and does this look bad when you haven't stayed at a place for longer than, say, 2 years?

>>53738299
it can look bad to some people but 2 years is enough time to get good ie do some projects within the company and take steps forward.
a lot of people talk about "there's no promotions, only moving companies" so consider that.
it also depends on if he was fired/offered better job somewhere else/etc. as long as you can point to people who like you at those two year places it shouldn't really matter. ymmv

At least you're in man, stay there for two years while padding your rails projects on the side and then go for senior or regular developer positions that pay twice as much, now that you have working experience.

I'm wondering if they just leave their job posting up and send their work to others as a developer test so they don't have to do anything.
This job posting has been up for half a year and when you type in the company name to Google, the first suggestions is "companyName Developer test"

If not literally a fizbuzz problem, they're going to ask you some technical questions for basically any interview. If you don't have any idea how to program, it'll become apparent pretty fast, I would think. And I'm not a genius or anything, but I could knock out a fizzbuzz pretty quick if I had to do it. That's the whole point: something that's trivially easy for someone that can program, but really difficult for the normies.
So...
How do I get stuff from SOAP?
I have to request headers or something like that? There are only like 2 tutorials online and both are from the year 2000.
>>53739214
Basically you want a few medium-sized projects which show that you're capable of actually seeing a project through to completion and using version control adequately.
You want to make sure it's well-commented, documented, and generally readable, and just generally show that you're not completely retarded.
Anyone here tried or use Angular 2?
>>53738754
So... what did they expect you to do? Write three encoding functions from scratch, in an interview?
>>53740170
It's an at-home test. They said a good dev can do it in an hour. I've been trying to find SOAP documentation for an hour.
Also the website with the WDSL is offline so I can't even test anything or see headers.
>>53740212
Post their website, I wanna see something. They sound pretentious as fuck and I want to see how secure their site is.
>>53740212
NOT ONLY XML BUT FUCKING SOAP? HOLY FUCK!
A good webdev wouldn't have to write that shit from scratch, they'd have access to the native encoding functions of the language. Literally what is the point in using PHP if you're not going to use its native functions for shit like this?
Yeah fuck those guys, apply somewhere else. I want to apply to the same job as you now just to tell them that their selection process is balls asses and that they're morons.
>>53740462
If their website with the wsdl has DNS not resolved then that means I can't consume the soap, right?
I just want to make sure because I told them I couldn't access it since the website is offline.
Their FAQ said about 50% of people who submit some kind of work end up getting a job offer even if it doesn't work.
>>53740418
Let me fail at this first. All of their tech is old so they probably don't even use prepared statements. I should go use mcdonald's wifi and try to inject them.

Javascript/HTML problem.
Let's say I want to change an image according to a variable.
I'm storing each image adress in a diferent object inside an array, along with other properties that I want to change at the same time.
How can I do it? I was thinking about defining a variable with the current object I want to use, but I don't know how to make the HTML code to change the src='shit.png' value to propertyArray.image.
Would using span id='shit' and then using document.getElementById('shit').innerHTML = propertyArray.image work? I can't experiment with code right now cause i'm on the phone, but i want to know how to do it.
ehhe
transitions
hehee ehee
they're kinda cool
I could do animations without the canvas element...
how much performance would it cost to make one of those music beat visualizer things using css transitions?
>>53742103
That should work. If you want to actually change the src of <img id="shit">, you would just usedocument.getElementById('shit').src = propertyArray.image
>>53742419
CSS is fast. The main thing you want to avoid doing too much is querying and re-rendering the DOM with JS.
>>53742636
>>53743195
>>53743195
Neat
>>53742419
Not much depending on the code and how complex you want the visualizer.
i have a ajax call to a controller which spits back a json object -- how do i then iterate through that json and print out to my view the entries of that json object? this is my ajax methodfunction callSitetech(technology) {
$.getJSON("/fetchsitetech/lookupTag/" + technology, function(data) {
$('div.span5').html('<div class="panel panel-default"><div class="panel panel-default"><div class="panel-heading" style="color: #ffffff;background-color: #2c3e50;">Site Rank By Country</div></div></div>');
return data['results'];

This shit is fucking hard. I can do html, css, PHP, and c# all individually... but I get lost on how to connect it all together.
Shits fucked m8. I think I'm trying mvc apps in visual studio with ajax, jquery? I barely even know wtf I'm working with.
How do I into this easily?
>>53745554
I refuse to believe that you can do HTML, CSS and PHP individually but can't link them. That is bizarre to me, especially HTML & CSS. What are you even using CSS for without HTML?

So when it comes to ajax/array manipulations...
external JSON or external .JS ?
which do u prefer and why?
//external JSON sample:
{ "items : [
blablabla...
]}
var x - JSON.parse("items.js");
console.log("x.length");
//external JS sample:
var items = [
{ blabla:blabla,
};]
console.log(items.length);
seems to me that plain js external array is much shorter to use. opinions?

How hard is it to land a job?
Whats the best way to go about it?
>>53749247
Read the OP
So is it very difficult to be a wev dev freelancer considering everyone will expect you to make things look pretty, but you are shit with designing graphics.
>>53745554
The thing with webdev is that the languages are "easy" taken individually, but once you have to actually get any project done using them, it can get hellish.
For example, CSS "is easy", but holy shit once you have to build complex shit with it and make sure it works on literally any type of device, you'll soon be regretting you're not doing something easier, like kernel programming.
>>53749700
Not necessarily. Once you learn how certain browsers render content you'll find it relatively easy to write CSS that looks good across all browsers. Besides, most modern browsers (IE 11+ included), have little cross-browser inconsistencies compared to how things were say 10 years ago.
>>53750006
Oh really? How do you center content vertically in a column which is also forced to have the same height as other columns, using Bootstrap, let's say?
I tell you how, by using shitty hacks like display table-cell with a fixed height in pixels, and by using huge positive and negative top and bottom margins and paddings to force the content in a column to extend below. Because CSS doesn't have a native way of controlling the vertical sizing or alignment of content. So people use old table cell hacks, because that's the only thing that is guaranteed to work across all browsers, including pre-IE11 versions.
And no, actually using flex is not an option, because it doesn't work on maybe 20% or more of PCs on this planet which are using the web.
>>53750096
Padding/margins with % values and a few media queries.
>>53750149
>relative units
That's not gonna make a column's height extend below. Only if you use fixed units like pixels.
>>53749596
I'd recommend just getting a job unless you want to be a pajeet-tier freelancer.

>>53750676
After that, make some stuff. It's the best way to learn IMO.
>>53750453
Is it worth 70 bucks?

you can probably borrow it from a library, it's a pretty old book, but it's priceless imo
>>53750726
Yes. Or just torrent it.
Has anyone used PhoneGap before for app development?
I need to build an app thats compatible with a maximum number of devices (with a little bias to older cheap android phones) and using JQuery, CSS, HTML seems a lot nicer than doing the same thing twice in objective C and Java.
>>53750816
I'm currently researching something similar, hybrid mobile app with no frameworks involved. Just a WebView and a JavascriptInterface to communicate with the device (for notifications, toasts etc.)
>>53750816
Hybrid mobile apps perform like shit compared to native apps. Also, if you're ding ios, swift is way nicer than Obj-C
>>53750891
You see the thing I need bluetooth. I found a plugin which will handle bluetooth for PhoneGap which would save me a good bit of time.
>>53750907
Most likely but this is an app that needs to program a bluetooth device. Kind of a one and done deal. Maybe used once a month at most. So how bad is the performance drop really?
>>53750907
Depends what the app is actually doing.
If it's just a web view then just make it a website and use a ServiceWorker to make it perform better on mobile.
>>53750635
Always JSON.
>>53750393
Is there something similar in Ruby? Sounds like fun.
>>53750938
I don't have any experience with bluetooth whatsoever, but it should be fine for that, assuming it's supported by the API. Just be aware that if the UI gets beyond a certain complexity, it can sometimes introduce an amount of chunkiness that's basically impossible to get rid of.
>>53746058
CSS and HTML go hand in hand. Yea, I can weave in some basic PHP into it, but when I start dealing with C# code as well, in a bunch of different files like it is when you make a mvc app I'm like wtf?. There's like xml files, html ones, css ones, c# ones. I'd imagine I'd have to use SQL at one point too. How it all connects is bizarre atm. Where would I even begin doing SQL shit?
>>53752476
you mean the web.config for xml?
see it as .htacces but for IIS, you rarely ever modify what you started with, unless you need to switch frameworks or something.
Ignore it for starters.
you have your controller and other classes in C#
and your html in the views where you can add some c# with the razor syntax
