Do I need Ajax if I learn Angular? I mean, I know some basics of Ajax and I can do it's changing of content without reload with Angular now.

I did half of Codecademy Angular course and it already made me sick. That feel when it is kinda chaotic and I actually have to spend some time on it, and on the other hand, it is a meme technology and I'm just learning how to do something I already know in a new (somewhat better) way.

>>53983939
I don't feel like I'm learning anything from CodeAcademy at all.

>>53984046
That's true, but just to see what the technology is all about, it's decent. It helped me working with APIs the most.

What's the best tutorial for Node?

>>53983939
I found react/redux much more pleasant to work with. Could never get into angular.

>>53983584
The main difference is that AJAX queries the server/database every time. Angular takes some of the load off the server by doing a lot of processing client'-side. Learn both if you have the time, because they serve different purposes.

I'm planning to start a PcPartPicker clone to practice and as a possible future full-time job (we don't have anything like PCPP in my country, and it'll be fucking huge to have a site like that).
For the past months I've been doing small-medium freelance jobs with Flask + Vue.js, and I think I'll stick to that stack.
Any recommendations for a site like this? Should I care about scaling right now or with a good caching system I'll be good? After seeing how stackoverflow handles its shit, caching sounds like a good option.

Advice on how to make this look less awful?

I think it might be best to put the "remove" button down in the bottom-right corner (on the same row as the smaller inputs), but that breaks most conventions on how to remove something. I could also place it next to the name button, since the input doesn't need to be that large, but that would be sort of awkward-looking as well.

>>53986238
Firstly, give them some space to breathe and align them because it is triggering me. Probably make the boxes a liiiitle bit bigger and fonts a little bit lighter (like those on top). What is this grid alignment of the dropdowns? There is more space between the first two than between the last two. Spacings and line-heights are completely random. Black line between the forms makes me wanna kill myself. Maybe try to put a very light gray background behind the every form and make more space between them.

>>53984496
God damn, all the tutorials are shit. Please link me something decent before I kill myself.

>>53986406
I just fixed the alignment. For some reason setting the first to width: 33.333% is making it take up a bunch more space, but if I remove the width and just let flexbox lay them out, the animation to remove the price box when the listing is quote-only looks like shit. But for now I'll just have to deal with that.

I tried the light grey background. I think it looks better, but I really need to do something about that removal button.

Remove margin/padding between the "Price" and the dropdown. I'd play with font color, I think that a little lighter black would be better. Play with the size of the "Remove" button, maybe make it a little bit smaller, also try to see how it looks like with just an "x" symbol. Go on Dribble or some other site, or just google good designs of web forms, soak up some inspiration and take the parts you like.

I'm designing a website to solve Math questions and I have several different pages all with different questions. Should I create one huge JS file all with different ID's or create a single JS file for each individual page to avoid collision?

Why is this thread ded?

Tfw when you stare at your website and you finally get an erection because of the good design.

Need some insights on this WebDev-y situation.

1) I'm a C/C++/C# programmer.
2) Did java, and academic lisp and prolog.
3)Did PHP(MVC, Smarty) + JS (couple external libs) + CSS3&HTML5.

4) Think WebDev is kind of a gimmicky thing. Because of the amount of new-age shitty JS to run your shit. I mean holy fuck compare wikipedia with some NodeJS website.
5) In need for advice because my friends wanna do the senior important ivy projects using Node.JS along with all the plethora of packages you can install with npm. And I was wondering if I should learn this new shit or rather learn other new shit that isn't mediocre.

What are your thoughts? if we were to say the paths of a software engineer are the following:

>>Ninja, WebDev, Apply Fag, Data Cruncher.

Then I would go with the first and the last in that list. With the first being good at, and the last being novice at.

>setting all the VM on Windows 10 makes my head hurt.

why not also install linux? mac/linux is where it's at for webdev.

>>53990600
I probably should. I'd rather use VM for now though. But as I said before, maybe I'll use Cloud9 for my next project, it was good last time I used it. Not the best solution but yeah.

>>53990655

why do you want to use that stuff? I tried using one of those once (maybe Cloud9), and I hated it just because everything is so cramped. having your text editor and terminal stuffed in your browser sucks.

Why is codeacademy made in such a way that breaking the test case with open-ended solutions and forcing a completed lesson is easier than actually solving the problem? I know the answer isn't right but it still passes me...

I've looked at a few courses from them and they're pretty useless.

>Here's some code that does X

They show you an example and tell you to make something that is almost identical, so there's no challenge.

Additionally, you can't finish the assignment if you even slightly deviate from the task. Didn't write it exactly as they wanted you to? Wrong. Even if you got the result using the right code, you're wrong. There's no creativity or flexibility allowed. Then it's over in an hour, unless you pay for more.

when i couldn't get node and npm to update themselves, even after running some blog post advice i found somewhere, i just found the new versions of node and npm on my system and then forcefully overwrote my copies in /usr/local/bin or wherever.

but hey, it worked, because now shit compiles without warnings and -v returns what i want :D

Much better than when you started. The border around the description box seems a bit darker than the other boxes. Also, try adding border-radius to the boxes to give them a more curved look, I'm not sure if that will make it look better but you could play around with it to see if it does.

Is it considered kosher to reference global functions from inside of an angular controller (like using jQuery or any other custom defined function) or should I pass it in as a parameter somehow for good software design?

Updating a database with potentially hundreds of thousands of queries at once. Using bulk statements:

INSERT INTO tokens VALUES
    (v1, v2, v3, v4),
    (v5, v6, v7, v8),
-- etc...
    (vn-3, vn-2, vn-1, v2);

Hey guys, I'm a beginner at web development here. I've been following the code.academy videos in the OP and have my own domain and server from hostgator.
My website right now is just a picture of dogs and I want people to be able to upload their own dogs. I've searched up on this and it appears I need to learn php as well. Now I am a little confused with this. I am using cyberduck to host my website's server, once I have all the php code, do I also put the php files there? I also have apache installed but I am confused if I am supposed to use both apache and/or cyberduck.
Does anyone have a link to a good tutorial to hold my hand?

>>53996271
In practice, interacting with postgres, I found that while inserting multiple rows per query dramatically boosts performance, going above about 100 rows stops giving you any benefit in performance (but also no degradation).

For postgres, apparently there is no limit on query size in characters. But for other databases, there might, and it could be a limiting factor for you.

Yes, you can store binary blobs without any issues.
I don't know why you would do this instead of putting files into the filesystem and just storing paths in database. But you can.

Are paid online courses like launchschool.com a good idea? Anyone with experience?

You made that up. Databases will serve as much as you ask.

Or you can distribute the database. Especially if your database is already distributed. Post that started this is talking about "internal" filesystems, which I'm pretty sure is supposed ot mean a filesystem that is not distributed over multiple machines.

Not necessarily. You have a lot of people, like myself, who are already comfortable with what they're working with so they don't fall for any of the memes. PHP, Python, SQL, and some Ruby is all I need right now and I'm okay with that. What really grinds my gears is people who champion other languages/frameworks as if they're fucking getting paid to do it. That's why you'll see a lot of "PHP A SHIT USE NODE" senpai.

I need advice.

I built a web page using Django and postgresql.

PostgreSQL has served my needs just fine, but now I've reached a point where I believe the best way to solve a problem is through using a graph. Graph as in nodes with edges, relationship inbetween each other.

I want to use a graph structure to tag images, to describe it's content.

Consider picture related, and the simple graph. This graph describes a picture very well, moreso than a flat tag set would.
[Anna, Frank, Car] could have relations.

PostgreSQL is a relational database, and doesn't handle this type of structure as well as e.g neo4j.

What do I do?

>>54000302
Wnat arguments? Filesystem is faster than databases. Hell, in the end databases also keep their data on disk so there is less difference than you think. Also disk storage is cheaper than database storage (resourcewise). Btw using distributed databases is not for making database faster, it's for keeping performance under load and it actually makes overall performance worse because you need to manage distribution.

>>54003028
You start using database that's meant for graphs, or you start using that database in addition to postgre to support your graph data.

node.js bros, how do you structure your REST API's? my shit looks something like this:

---server.js
---app.js
---routes/
------| todos.js
------| faggots.js
---controllers/
------| todos.js
------| faggots.js
---models/
------| Todo.js
------| Faggot.js

the routes route to the controllers, and the controllers manipulate the models (which are just db's schemas without any logic).

but i find that the problem is that my exported controllers functions all have to be express middleware (req, res, next) and this makes my business logic very much coupled with express.

how do i seperate this?

>>54004306
Your get() function in find.js is pointing to "/" not "/find".

Though I can't say I care for the standard generated express app structure, there are less gay ways to lay out a node/express application

I'm using Appchan X with the "midnight caek" scrip as well. Only problem is, the midnight caek script seems to add some padding to the left, which makes it so I always have a tiny bit of scrolling to the right, and it doesn't go away even if I zoom out to the extreme. Any idea what could be causing this?

I don't currently have a problem that requires me to install a remote access shell for script kiddies on my server.

>>54004392

You got your basic layout like dis:
-lib/
---whatever.js
---another.js
---routes.js
-app.js

And that's it.

>lib/
different JS files go in here, each separated into specific concerns as per your choice. Each file is structured in such a way so that your business logic is disentangled from the node routing function requirements with the req and res objects.

// business logic
function businessLogic(whatever) {
    //business goes here
}

function businessPromise() {
    return new Promise(function (resolve) {
        resolve('business');
    };
}

// http interfaces for your business functions
httpBusinessLogic(req, res) {
    res.send(businessLogic("bleh"));
}

httpBusinessPromise(req, res) {
    businessPromise().then(function (business) {
        res.send(business);
    });
}
// export whatever
module.exports.http = {
    businessLogic: httpBusinessLogic,
    businessPromise: httpBusinessPromise
};

Then you have routes.js which exports a function into which you pass your 'app' object and attach all of your routes to it in a very clear way:

const whatever = require('./whatever');
const another = require('./another');
//etc etc

module.exports = function (app) {
    app.get('/business', whatever.http.businessLogic);
    app.get('/business/promise', whatever.http.businessPromise);
    app.post('/blah/create', another.http.create);
    app.put('/blah/update', another.http.update);
    // etc etc

    return app;
};

Then finally you have app.js as the root of your node application, and you simply create an app object from express, throw it in the function that is returned from routes.js, and then run a server on it.

const express = require("express");
const app = express();

require("./lib/routes")(app).listen(3000);
console.log("Server is running");

I think this is far less convoluted and gay than the standard express-generator boilerplate.

Anyone use Flask here?
I've got a before request handler where I make a connection to a TCP server and cache some data, however, everytime I attempt to fetch the cached get in the request handler, it keeps returning None, as if it didn't cache it at all. I'm using Flask-Cache w/ the SimpleCache mechanizm.

My code looks something like this:

@app.before_request
def something():
    status = cache.get('status')
    if status is None:
        # make socket connection
        # fetch some data and store it
        cache.set('status', True if len(data.something) else False, 120)

>>54010731
Flask here, never made it work with the Flask-Cache thou.
Aren't you missing a decorator for the cache?

>>54010794
I use the cache decorator to cache my views, but here I manually interact with the cache object.

Also is there any reason why would I want to use Redis/memcached over SimpleCache? It seems like another layer of abstraction for a cache server would actually be slower than a simple dictionary when using SimpleCache.

>>54010844
Probably those are better options if you are running multiple instances of your server, and you want a reliable way to share the cache among them. Don't take my word on this though.

>>54010794
Okay, since you said decorator, I actually tried to give it a try with a decorator. So I moved my logic into a separate function and used the decorator with key_prefix argument but the same thing happens, the function gets executed with every request and the result is not cached at all.

Don't waste your time with node. You aren't going to get a job with "node.js" and no practical experience or a degree. Get yourself into LAMP or ASP.SEX CORE 1.0. If you go microshit, its new enough that you'll be able to razzle dazzle your way in pretty easily.

I currently have a single AJAX call to a webservice that calls a stored proc, a large stored proc that returns multiple elements used in the ui. Should I break this up into different ajax calls/stored procs? Some of the fields are like Full name, a section of data with dates, more text describing other things, ect. its just a huge cluster fuck right now. None of the fields in this returned set are ever used again anywhere else in the application. Thoughts?

tl;dr; when to break large set of returned data from an ajax call to multiple calls/returns?

Pic related. My face after seeing the code base for this project I inherited.

>>54012752
ASP.NET CORE 1.0 it is what MS is calling their latest release.

One of these projects have to make me money so I can just dev forever.

Eventually, hopefully.

It's all I want to do. Instagram was a trash idea in theory. Every social media site let you share images. Vine made sense, but not in the way it's used now.

I wonder how they started. Did they release to the app store and people chose it from the other apps just like them? Same thing with webpages. Facebook made since, but then again so did Xanga, but that was btfo by myspace for no obvious reason.

My ideas work in theory, but theory never seems to be relevant. The formula changes so much. but I don't think it's due to luck. No such thing.

Thanks, blog.

>>54013220
Do you actually remember myspace? It was a shit box circa 2007. Everyone had custom aids (html) and sound clips. Facebook was cleaner and "invite" only. Also Facebook was great for actually making connections and such back in 2008/2009. Now its just a cleaner shity myspace filled with memes.

Instagram took off because of the filter. Do you not fucking remember anything?

anyone know a library or something that will return a short summary for a given value? e.g. 'Google AdSense' might return something about what it is

>>54013326
I remember everything. I remember that everyone made fun of the instragram filters besides teenage girls. I remember that in 2007 myspace only allowed CSS and not HTML. Yes, facebook made sense because of exclusivity and everyone wants to feel VIP.

None of this changes anything.

Do you remember that one shitty website spammed everywhere years ago? The my yearbook or whatever that no one used? Did you know that was a brother/sister team and they still make millions a year? That's nuts.

Text over image on hover is easy. https://github.com/danthom88/Image-Credit-Overlay for something I did recently that puts text over an image.

Store what text you want in the db where you store the image path. While loop through the row and echo your images wrapped in classed divs.

>>54013739

its a for each loop and im using a variable that points to the source file inside an img tag

how would i add hover text using a variable so that the text is assigned to the right image? im probably sounding confusing. err... I just dont' wanna hardcode everything

>>54013902
Nothing you're saying makes sense assuming you know how to web dev. Show some code.

Is there need? Like do you need any of the fields separately? Or is it optional? Requests are resource and you shouldnt waste it on separating call that doesnt need it.

Hey brehs. Is Django a good web framework for beginners in web dev? I already know a bit of python - enough to make a useful object oriented application that isn't pure spaghetti code. I want to work with python in the long run, but all the Py positions in my country are django/web dev, which isn't a problem for me, outside of the fact that I'm just starting to use it now.

What is the point of sass? Isn't it just another layer of hipster bullshit.

I never thought nesting was an Issue with CSS, I thought it was clear and logical: .hello .yes { .

But no I must indent it on another line like HTML? Just to end up with the same result.

>>54014856
Also this shit I read "have you ever had to open up the calculator app to figure out a column width in a multi-column design? Sass fixes that!"

No retard I have an actual calculator on my desk.
Also maybe I'm strange but I use excel to plan column widths and layouts and find it very suited to this if you have an experience with formulas. And I enjoy it.

do you even know js

>>54015611
and in the if (x==2) at the end set x back to 0.

Actually I would probably do if (x ==2 || i == images.length)

Just in the case you don't have your modulus 3 = 0 or however people say that.

Make sure you include the bootstrap cdn or none of this will work.

Please only answer in relation to html/css. I want my website to be as it is up top-left. Currently I have it so using the <ul> tag, withthe image being included in the list. How can I make it like this (with the image beside the rest of the elements) without having it included in the list? The reason I need to use an alternative method is that I want borders around the link elements and can't do so without also putting a border around the image/logo (I already know a bit about the div tag and giving specific elements IDs - admittedly not much however - and I can't get it to work no matter what I try). Any ideas? I can post screenshots of the relevant parts of my html/css files if necessary. Thanks lads.
