Not him, but cheers. I don't use JS yet in my job, but I'm sure it'll be necessary at some point to progress

I just went to a JS conference.

This year, for the first time, all examples were in React, not a single thing in Angular or Ember except in workshops.

Is 2016 the year of React taking over by a significant amount?

>>54104853
did you have gay sex at the conference? I heard JS conference have huge gay orgies.

>>54104853
I hear a lot of shit-talk in my work towards Angular, not sure if it's a 1 thing or if the usual negatives are in 2. As far as Ember goes, I've always heard it was useful in some cases, but not generally a necessity anyway.

Did you get any blowjobs?

How do I alphabetize an XML document filled with data like this:

     <name id="01172">

     </name>
     <name id="01324">
          <firstname>Zack</firstname>
     </name>
</names>

I have thousands of names and want to reorganize the entire document, but I want to keep it as XML. I want a new XML document with the same names except alphabetized. Help an anon out?

Javascript vs php? Obviously I can learn both but what should I focus my energy on?

I like earning money, but I also want to work on a side project which will likely be some sort of discussion board.

>>54105000
A lot.

I made a javascript RPG back in the day and one of my sub-activities was farming. I remember having an error on line 12k of the farming page and it was only like 1/4 down the document.

You selected a plot of land if you had a hoe you could plow it. It would change the image of the plot square. If you had water can with water you could water, changed image again. You could plant 1 of 6 different seeds and a timeout in a hidden parent frame controlled the growth of the plant through 4 different stages. You could harvest at the final stage if you had a scythe.

It was basically farmville before farmville and that was only a side way to make some cash.

>>54105259
Javascript. This is coming from a primarily PHP dev.

All of my recent work has been in Javascript, but I still handle databases with PHP. That's something you can learn in a weekend.

So focus on javascript first with the fancy frameworks and you will have fun at some startup companies.

I landed an OK paying web dev. It's tough though because this is my first job and the environment is 100% on your own. Creative Director and Tech Lead just throw projects at me pretty much. Other devs are working on other shit and don't want to be bothered. I'm wanting to find someone willing to help me out when I get stuck. I do front end and back end. I will pay you per each session or time I need your help. I'm thinking anywhere from 20 to 100 bucks via PayPal, depending on the project. Just to have a guy I can go to when I get stuck.

Old school LAMP guy here (I posted in one of these threads about a week ago asking about modern web technology).

I have a number of old unfinished projects I've decided to pick up again (I abandoned them years ago after a mental breakdown). One of them is a drinking card game project and well I just want to know if what I'm planning on doing with it is retarded or not.

The project consists of two parts
1) A card game with multiple players. Players take turns in a cycle but there are special cards that can be played out of turn as well as other cards that alter the flow of the game. The page will include a chat. There are other not very important details.
2) A big repository of card decks. Users can create and submit their own cards or decks. Then when creating a new game the user may choose which deck(s) and rules to use.

Some stuff can be salvaged from my old work but many things (specifically the part 1 stuff) should be rewritten since my old implementation just seems very inefficient (for instance the chat page uses ajax to constantly request a php page that does an sql query). My current plan is this.

1) A single page app with react + redux. I'm still getting up to speed with things but I understand I can run a Node.js http server with a Mongo (NoSQL) database and use some websockets library like socket.io. Unless I'm terribly mistaken then this is my current plan.
2) Still php + apache + mysql. With possibly some interactive card creator app later (I'd done some stuff with imagemagick on php but honestly it's probably just better to throw that shit out).

Then I'll just run Nginx as a reverse proxy on top of Apache and whatever Node.js http server is in order to route traffic. Users will visit the site and be given the option of creating a new game (which yields a url for them to give out). At this point I'll populate a MongoDB "table" with card data for the game (from the MySQL database), as well as a chat table.

(cont.)

>>54111753

(cont.)

I plan to handle user accounts and stuff on the apache side of things and just let users create and play games without actual user accounts (just a nick name for chat, possibly optional).

I feel like this will be simpler and it will let me salvage most of my old MySQL database (It's quite big and I remember putting a lot of work into it).

Does this sound feasible? Is this a totally retarded way to do things?

I'm not up to speed on MongoDB, websockets, or running node as a server (I've been playing around with Node for the last week mainly using it for babel, linting, and the REPL though).

I keep hearing about shit like Meteor.js and Express.js. Should I invest time into these?

>>54110502

Say you're following along with Michael Hartl's ruby tutorial for absolute novices. In it, you make a twitter clone. In the final chapter, you're meant to create relationships between users by giving them the ability to follow and unfollow one another.

Say you wanted to deviate from that model and implement a classic friend request system - the kind that 99% of websites use, where you send someone a friend request and they have the option to accept or decline it. How would you implement that? Alternatively, do you know of any in-depth guides that clearly explain how to do this?

Yes, literally just visit the url in a browser and ctrl+S. It's pretty unlikely you're going to be able to serve a static faster than google's multi-million dollar CDN can though. Remember that if your server is in the same city as you benchmarking on your home/business connection vs. a CDN is meaningless.

mean.io is the website for the MEAN full stack, the entire stack is implemented in javascript hence the .js

M - Mongodb is a noSQL database that uses JSON

E - Express is a minimal Sinatra-like backend framework implemented in javascript

A - Angular is a frontend SPA framework, obviously implemented in javascript

N - node.js is a web server with an API implemented in javascript

What do I have to do so that I can have a CSS/HTML file in which you write something on the browser, and then it is saved into the file?

Alright guys, i really need some help here because it's really important for me to get serious answers.
I graduated in CS (bachelor degree) 5 years ago and I worked as a front/back-end web developer for a small company for a couple of years, but life is unpredictable and for an unfortunate series of events i ended up in another small company covering a sort of network/sysadmin/helpdesk position, which is my current job.
The thing is I want to get back into the webdev world but I don't know what kind of language/technology I should focus on (I used to work in a LAMP environment, and it seems to me that's kind of out-of-date). Is the MEAN stack worth or it's just a meme? Would you recommend me to spend some time to learn it? Which one in particular is more important for your resume?

>>54117272

>>54120248
The design looks nice, but it feels like it's missing a certain something. It gives off a 2005-2010 era website vibe. The "Compare" button at the top should be the same size as the search bar to its left, properly aligned with it (the top of the button is slightly higher than the top of the bar, same with the bottom of each one), and the "Compare" text doesn't appear to be centered within the button. It could use support for older phone models as well. I'm not saying go all the way back to phones from 2000 or anything, but still.

>>54119420

>>54120248
I can't add a comment.

Plus it looks unappealing. It actually took me a couple seconds before I realized what the website was about.
I think you need a more visual presentation of what's going on on the website.

>>54120419
>It gives off a 2005-2010 era website vibe
Fair enough, it's not helped by the "logo" just being some big text either. I'm planning to replace that.

>Compare button
Can I get a screenshot of how the search area looks in your browser? I'm using Chrome and it all seems to be aligned. I know the site has a few alignment issues in Safari.

>It could use support for older phone models as well
Definitely planned, just wanted to get the functionality down before I started filling out the database.

Thanks for the feedback!

>>54120505
The "add comment" and "contact us" buttons are both placeholders right now, they're next up as soon as I wake up.
I see what you mean about the presentation, I played around with having phone images instead of little bubble icons but I couldn't make it look nice. Maybe I can create a logo that helps better communicate what the site's about.

Good calls, it is strange how the header has gradients but nothing else does.

Do you mean each phone in the search box becoming it's own bubble? For any reason other than looking cool?

>>54113201
Add an status column to the relationship table. Check if the status us pending, accepted or rejected and act accordingly in the template.

>>54120810
actually it can be one box but autocomplete should work on all phones being compared separately

that or give each entry in the database aliases like "s7" or "g4"

>>54104908
One thing I've noticed is that questions about databases, XML, and the like never seem to get much traction on /g/. This disappoints me.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2714888/xslt-to-alphabetize-xml

The template in the top answer will only need minor changes to the matching criteria to work for your xml.

It also uses more RAM, conflates the use of two other languages that are much easier to work with separately, and, as you're expected to compose your Frankenstein's monster of a component in your .js files, you may well end up with a herculean task ahead of you if you do eventually acquire the brains to understand the value of extricating yourself.

They're both shit in different ways. One (Angular) wants to overcomplicate HTML, the other want's to commoditise HTML, by making it a subsystem in your Javascript program. Both approaches use up a shit load of RAM with leaky abstractions along the way.

It's all fine on Windows, but learn BASH. Unlike React, Angular, Node, fucking Haskell, Vim or any of the other shit the mainstream will shove down your throat, it well worth taking in.

Nevermind, I just realized that http://railscasts.com/episodes/163-self-referential-association?view=asciicast isn't quite right. It uses the same approach as the ruby tutorial & twitter: if you add people, they don't receive a "pending friendship" notification, and they're displayed as your friend whether they like it or not. I've already followed along with that guide up to the "Viewing Our Friends" section. Do you have any advice on what I should do from here?

What is the best way of restricting access to files?

I'm currently making a software distribution site for my uni.

The idea that after a software request has been approved, the student will get a link to the directory with the installer and readmes and the whole shebang. The problem is that the student can just share the link with others.

Is it possible to make the directory accessible only when the student is logged in?

I'm making the website on PHP.

I changed the page loading animation on my website.

Did I make it worse?

https://www.imagehex.com

Just click on any link and it should play.

>>54121264
Do you mean saved to the same page like a comment system? You'll have to do some backend programming for that unless it's only client side. In that case jQuery is probably your best bet.

Students have permission to install themselves? This seems odd.

>>54122062
I don't see a loading animation, the image just loads from top to bottom like images always have.

>>54122043
If you're granting access to a directory containing the installer, why are you not concerned that they will simply copy and share the files themselves?

>>54122109

They just get an installer for a program, like Enterprise Architect. There will be a .bat file to run to update the license while connected to the uni's network.

>>54122151
Oh, the installers are for their own PCs which the Uni network doesn't control?

Use .htaccess/webserver config to deny access/listing of the files directory.

Use PHP with appropriate header() to serve the file rather than linking to an actual location.

Use one time-links (or links which expire after <x> minutes) to link them to the download.

Though if they're downloading a .exe, couldn't they just forward that directly to mates anyway rather than the link?

Sure, you generate a HTML page with a one-time link/timeout link, and each link on that page is as I described before.

Or serve up all files in a zip or something.

If you absolutely need to write a SPA and not because the internet told you it's cool, you should not be using a framework. Overengineered bloated RAM hogs. People nowadays seem to think memory is infinite, so nothing can go wrong, if you use butt tons more to marginally decrease CPU cycles.

It's just basic as fuck. Centering some text that you bolded half of doesn't make an appealing website title and big blue bar isn't the best idea for a header.

That search bar just brings back flash backs of every download site that's going to redirect me or try to install ask toolbar. Maybe the middle isn't the best place for it.

The basic blue coloring doesn't help.

It's nice in terms of just being basic but looking at other phone comparison websites you'll quickly be notice how they have a skinnier header, it has drop down menus and there's some generic lifestyle image or sliders or graphs or something appealing to look at that.

I do like that table though.

No, what you just said is about as fitting as describing the holocaust as a minor inconvenience.
Not only is that way of "learning" absolutely horrid and counterintuitive, you're not actually learning web development at all.
All you're accomplishing is a website that is hacked together, much like a toddler trying to build an actual skyscraper using his knowledge of building with Legos.
Learning basic HTML and CSS will take the average person about a week, to easily surpass the level where you're currently at. Plus they will actually have a clue on what they're doing.

Your kind of "web development" is what's wrong with the internet.

Right, but the point I was making was that I am not doing this to learn Web Dev, I am doing this because my business needs a website. This will be the only website I make in a few years.

Also I do sort of know the basics, the issue I had was with the framework, not really with my CSS/HTML knowledge.

a lot of the current tutorial bases (like 80% of the OP's links) are making these frameworks out to be the entire thing. freecodecamp, for instance (which eventually provides a certification if you do the projects), spends probably two dozen lessons teaching bootstrap and responsive design. they make it out to be the main way in which front-end designers make their sites, due to the demand for mobile sites.

You make it seem like you think learning web dev and building a website for your business aren't related. As I said before, building a skyscraper with knowledge of only Legos. I mean, you're on your way, sure, but the end result without the underlying knowledge will invariably be something undesirable.

Just as an example, the problem you posted about would a) most likely not appear, or b) be solved literally in a matter of seconds, if you had the knowledge to go with your tools.

Thankfully I learned web dev before front-end frameworks became popular; I can express myself, and accomplish any of my client's wishes without a problem, while coding everything by hand.

In C#'s defense (disclaimer: I use it everyday at work), that's 'old' C#.
Since i-can't-remember-which version of .NET, you can safely write

var x = new List<string>();

and the compiled code (or JIT code or whatever they use to get low level) will be the same as the more verbose version (no extra runtime overhead!).
I think they initially made it verbose on purpose, to make it more Java-like and get early adopters from the Java community, back when the Java-no-script was a hot thing.

I want to make a site for streaming anime, something along the lines of the following:

magestream.org
kingstream.tv


I've read everything on html and I'm reading a lot on CSS with w3schools.com and I've made a few webpages and the like, but I don't know the progression to be able to copy these sites. Don't care about originality, any of these sites would work perfectly for what I want.


A few questions:
- Should I ignore trying to learn more using predefined courses of action and just move straight to trying to understand everything using 'view page as source'?
-is all the code used for these sites readily available, or are there things that I won't be able to get access to without requesting it from the site creators?
-I noticed a lot of 'jscript' shit when looking at source on magestream and kingstream (didn't get around to others yet), will this be a problem? I don't know anything about javascript.
