Anyone use front-end functional programming libraries like Ramda? Underscore is gay btw

http://www.ecu.edu.au/degrees/undergraduate
Can anyone go through those degrees and tell me which would best fit someone with prior web development skills, I am looking to start a career in web development also.

CSS beginner here with some questions.

Do the majority of sites today still used float-based layouts? Is it recommended to still use this technique?

Should one use flexbox/grid already?

I like PHP

I want to know why wordpress sucks specifically. Is it the speed? The security? Or is it just because it has a huge popularity so it's easy to find shitty websites on it too? There are some big sites that are using it though, some news portals also, CNN is one of them, etc.

I don't get it. Keep in mind I don't have much exp with it and didn't use it for anything but a blog/portal for one of my courses (yes, part of it was centered around wp, kill me i guess). I just want to understand. People shit on joomla, but not on the wordpress. I don't want to become a pajeet then. Based on /g/, it seems like I'm surrounded by pajeets, from colleagues to lecturers. Just fuck my education up senpai.

>>54338856
You should learn how to use both. But floats are still the most popular technique to do things.

>>54339115
Wordpress doesn't suck. People just don't update it and install shitty plugins with vulnerabilities. After which those installations get hijacked for spam. But considering almost a quarter of the internet runs on Wordpress that's to be expected. Surely only a fraction of the Wordpress installations are maintained.

>>54339161
Alright, both it is then.

Another frontend question. What learning resources are there for advanced CSS, stuff like Codepen animations, etc.

Do you you have to get on that level through trial-and-error or is there a common resource available? All I've found are basic stuff, like w3schools, etc.

>>54339252
Well, Mozilla Developer Network is the best resource for learning css. But it doesn't have a course for learning css animations yet. So no idea.
My own css animations so far have been done by trial and error.

Guys i need help with Sublime Text before I switch to something else

All I want is a smart CSS autocomplete. In Coda, if you're in a css file and type

display: 

you get valid css autocomplete for the display property. Sublime text is literally dunce in this regard and no plugin seems to solve it. Snippets do not solve it.

Does Atom or something else do this?

I kinda want to add parallax for my header image. I am currently using that one popular parallax library. I didn't include jquery nor used and js/css frameworks because I wanted to make this site super lightweight. Now I would have to break that rule by including the jQ in for the parallax to work. It's nothing much, just the content slides over the header a little bit, like twitter. I don't see what's so bad about that. But anyway, is it worth it? Is jQ really that heavy?

You know that feel when you try some bling and then without it the design feels cheap and empty. I've falle for it now. Don't know what to do.

>>54339924
If it's literally just to move the header when you scroll then just code it yourself for that once instance. If you want to reuse the effect with different setting throughout the site then just use jq and the plugin.

>>54339890
Atom does auto complete. I've never had an issue with the suggestion. Also if you're on Linux Bluefish editor has a great auto complete

>>54339764
>>54339782
And I also genuinely like PHP

>>54339924
Parallax is like the gullwing doors of websites. When done well, it can be cool, but usually it's just tacky and unnecessary.

Also, if you use a large image, it can seriously impact your page load which is annoying and hurts page rank (if you care about that.)

Does anyone have any experience with transferring domains between registrars?

I want to transfer a domain from a shitty greek registrar to dynadot and asked them for the auth code, they gave me "0~4^'uk0", is this a valid code? It looks unusual.

>>54340015
I do. I'm building some news portal in WP for my course project, btw, I have just a few posts but I literally didn't get a single visit in a week. Seems kinda weird, but it's my first time having something on the web so I don't know what to expect.

And I guess I can code parallax by hand then.

There's something fucked up with your installation then, because Sublime does autocomplete in CSS for me, and it does it pretty well.

That's a little over $500 according to Google, about what I had in mind. I was thinking of starting there and marking up the price based whether or not the site will make ad revenue.

I have few radio checkboxes and have their value displayed on a canvas, but it only displays the default checked value, when I change value from checkboxes it remains the same in canvas, what am I missing?

var values = document.getElementsByName('checkbox');

for(var i = 0; i < values.length; i++){
    if(values[i].checked){
      var  display = values[i].value;
    }

I got a double amount of visitors outside of my country, but they got away instantly (it's in my native language anyway). Interested how they found it though.

>>54341598
you need to run the code that draws the checkbox name on the canvas every time one of the checkboxes changes, you can't expect it to magically change by itself.

thanks a lot friend !!

How do I make an image gallery CMS with an admin panel for uploading/deleting (in PHP and MySQL?). Can anyone point me to tutorials or maybe some scripts that do what I want?

I want to learn how this is done, including thumbnail generating and all that

>>54339161
>and install shitty plugins with vulnerabilities
Literally all of them. Fucking CloudFlare put an intern in charge of their plugin and one of the updates he put out broke literally everything and anything with no rhyme or reason. Also, have you ever tried developing for wordpress "properly"? If you want to build anything front facing on the admin side you're going to need to spend days trying to fill in the blanks in their incomplete documentation

>>54341931

people hate on php because its easy to learn and is often written by retards.

however, masterfully written php is orgasmic

>>54341931
Pretty simple stuff. You can learn all of it by looking at any imageboard script's source

>>54341991
Is it really though? Older languages like Perl have more syntactic sugar and fit in better with modern web dev standards. Meanwhile most PHP based stacks are still glorified CGI scripts, even with a framework

I don't understand why anyone would use PHP if they had a choice

How would you go about reading names from a text file and inserting each field into a database using stupid assed php

>>54341931
basic thumbnailing with php is really easy, here's the code from an imageboard I was working on a while ago

$thumbsize = [100, 100];
$sourcepath = "./source.png";
$thumbpath = "./thumb.jpg";

$sourcesize = getimagesize($sourcepath);
$sourcecanvas = imagecreatefrompng($sourcepath);
$thumbcanvas = imagecreatetruecolor($thumbsize["width"], $thumbsize["height"]);
imagefill($thumbcanvas, 0, 0, imagecolorallocate($thumbcanvas, 255, 255, 255));
imagecopyresampled($thumbcanvas, $sourcecanvas, 0, 0, 0, 0, $thumbsize[0], $thumbsize[1], $sourcesize[0], $sourcesize[1]);
imagejpeg($thumbcanvas, $thumbpath, 90);
imagedestroy($sourcecanvas);
imagedestroy($thumbcanvas);

WP is really fleshed out, so are imageboards. I was hoping for the minimalistic amount of code needed for it to work standalone. It really means a lot to me, but if digging through random people's spaghetti code and hoping I'm looking at the right part is the only way to do it. Then I suppose I will..

>>54342018
plz stop

>>54342047
Nice, this is really clear and I understand it. How do you handle filenames? Also what do you put into the database? I'm assuming you separate the filename from the typetype (png, jpg, gif), then concatenate it later when you want to display it back?

>>54342091
>so are imageboards
They really aren't

>>54342036

$names = file_get_contents("names.txt");
$names = preg_split("/\\r?\\n/", $names);

foreach($names as $name) {
    // assuming you're using pdo
    $query = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO faggots (name) VALUES (:name)");
    $query->bindValue(":name", $name);
    $query->execute();
}

>>54342128
For filenames on disk I use md5 hashes which is usually the best option to avoid problems (4chan uses timestamps which is a problem because if two people post an image at the exact same time, one of them might be overwritten).
I split the filename and extension (validated with some mimetype checks obviously) and store them seperately in the database.

>>54342128
>Nice, this is really clear and I understand it
That's because you aren't looking at the code that's doing the actual work. Maybe things have changed but I don't think getimagesize(), imagecreatefrompng, etc., are part of PHP's standard library. He or someone else had to write the code behind them

>>54342178
Timestamps and a random 3 digit number appended at the end

>>54342178
md5 on the original filename right? That makes sense, pretty good idea. Thanks

>>54342186
O-oh

>>54342264
No, the actual md5 checksum of the image itself.

>>54342178
Thanks, I'll give this a go. The way we've been doing it in uni involved writing mysqli_query($conn, $Sql) is this different from the PDO

>>54342186
Those image functions are part of PHP's GD library, which is included in most PHP installations. Most imageboards including 4chan use it for thumbnailing.

https://secure.php.net/manual/en/book.image.php

>>54342198
Actually it's just a timestamp in miliseconds (from php's microtime() function)

>>54342264
>md5 of the filename
That's retarded.
I meant the md5 of the file contents (use md5_file($path) for this)

>>54342286
Don't expect to learn anything useful programming wise at school. CS is all about math and theory. You learn programming languages and design patterns on your own time

>>54341991
>>54342018

That's probably because writing any language masterfully is orgasmic.

Is md5ing the contents how 4chan detects duplicate images being posted?

>>54342303
>Most imageboards including 4chan use it for thumbnailing
Most of what I've seen utilizes imagemagick. I'm not sure what 4chan uses now, but I have a large portion of Yotsuba's source from 2009 and I can double check for you if you want.
>Actually it's just a timestamp in miliseconds (from php's microtime() function)
I remember hearing otherwise. Also Wakaba definitely doesn't do this, and practically everything out there today has code derived from Futabally and Wakaba (you'd be surprised how many newer imageboard scripts are just Perl rewritten for whatever language the script is in), even if they were supposedly "written from scratch and free of Futabally cruft".

>>54342356
Should've done CS at a good uni. With all the threads making fun of IT and "Web Development" majors you should have known better

>>54342370
Yes. It stores them as a data-* attribute in the images, you can see if you inspect element on your image.

4chan uses MD5s but runs them through pack() and base64_encode to make them smaller.

>>54342381
The 4chan code leaked like 6 years ago uses GD for thumbnailing and microtime() for filenames (I'm looking at it right now), they might have changed it since then though. Other scripts like tinyboard give you the option to choose between GD and Imagemagick.

>>54342464
>4chan uses MD5s but runs them through pack() and base64_encode to make them smaller.

Admin gallery - http://pastebin.com/weXwfQaW
Gallery w/ thumbnailing - http://pastebin.com/TW1kbU2z

I tried to warn you. I wrote this 4 years ago as part of my first PHP page.

the user_handle.php takes the $_GET and bans if the session privilege is admin or mod level (1 or 2), it also unlinks the images from the folders and destroys the row in the db so it doesn't display broken images.

It looks god awful and I would never make anything this bad anymore, but it works.

>What would you say is better and more powerful and why
Believe it or not, there is no single 'best' language / framework / whatever, just different tools for different jobs. It really depends on what your needs are, what language(s) you know, what your existing codebase is using already (if you're working for the man)

>any other alternatives
Tons. Other than Django, RoR, and the java/php frameworksm some other big players are Node (javascript) and ASP.NET (C#). And then there are backend frameworks for basically every language that can run on a server.

>>54342400
Not that guy but I'll mention my case.

I'm in a third (last year of bachelors here) year of multimedia studies, (I've seen that it is also called new media or digital media). Basically, I didn't know what to expect when I enrolled, I was studying something else in a parallel. Anyway, circumstances led me to pursue just this for two years. The program is what is expected from this kind of study. I had courses in general design, web design, a couple on frontend and backend, even some digital marketing, also, video production and postproduction and two in audio engineering. Some will say it's shit, some will say it's great - I'd give it a 5/10 desu, at the end I am not satisfied really much with it, even though it is considered the best in my country and wider. It seems like it is extremely easy to get a job and they have connections with big agencies here though.

Anyway, that's where I ended up. So yeah, around 70% of it was web, and I learned about web and not CS. Maybe I fucked up, maybe I didn't but now it's over. The that thing I'm now considering is studying something else, or at least wait for a 1-2 more years (masters). Master's studies on the other hand have a lot of business courses, more audio/video, and ofc, a couple on 3D.

The feeling of jack of all trades sucks. It seems that I'm quite good in all of them, but it would be better to specialize for something. When I look back, I can't say I would pick CS though, since I'm more interested in everything else desu, but oh well, it is what it is.

Sorry for the blog. I felt the need to share and let it off my chest.

They work just like regular forms. Make sure the form attributes are correct. Should be something like:

<form action="/foo" method="post">

where "/foo" is the location you want to POST to. Also, if you're uploading files, you need to include:

enctype="multipart/form-data"

Mayyyn, Rails is so abstract I feel like I won't be able to do anything outside of tutorials. Literally magic. Is the node like that too? First time learning some framework like this. I'll learn node one day, but since I'm already half way through rails tutorial it's stupid to stop now. Just... I don't know, I have a hard time remembering all of this. Also, installing gems and using methods which are doing everything for you is making me feel like a Rajesh Mahabivkari. Literally taping things together. Is this a normal workflow in web dev??

am i supposed to feel useless in my first day of work? i managed to write about 6 lines of code. i was mostly chasing files trying to understand how things were glued to each other in this big-ass project. i don't know if i'm way over my head or if this is what it feels like to work. it's entirely different when i'm building apps from scratch.. i pretty much know exactly what to do. but here i feel like i don't know anything

>>54349023
If you're on a new codebase and a new framework/language, sure. Your colleagues should explain the layout of the codebase to you though, assuming it's not documented well (hahaha, I jest)

Also a decent IDE can usually indicate how things are glued together somewhat

So just what is ASP.NET?

Visual Studio is the IDE.

C# is the language (or Visual Basic, F#, etc.)

ASP.NET MVC is the auto-generated code framework which follows the MVC design pattern.

But what is ASP.NET itself? Is it a bunch of C# commands and methods that are bundled into any ASP.NET project at creation, just like JQuery provides for JavaScript?

Is it some magic that happens to your code when it is compiled to turn text like [HTTP POST] into actual code?

Is there a simple general explanation of all the meme technologies and buzzwords? ( aspnet, nodejs, django, angularjs, frontend, backend, etc.etc)

In this day and age, it is pretty much impossible to make a good looking website with just HTML.

CSS is necessary to make any decent looking page.

Now. If you include the right libraries, (like the bootstrap classing system), you can make decent looking webpages without having to write much CSS yourself. You'll basically just be creating webpages with some <div> soup, and using the class="thing" attribute to denote what kind of "component" this is.

I'm the guy from: >>54352928
Look how little HTML/CSS it took to create the bulk of the page: [pic related]

Start Here: http://getbootstrap.com/css/
Then here: http://getbootstrap.com/components/
Then here: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/


Then check some of these out: http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#examples

And have some fun.
In the grand scheme of things, web development is probably easier now than it used to be. You just gotta approach it differently from the old days.

Hi guys. I posted a thread about this before I noticed there was an active PHP thread. So here it is again - I'm trying to create an SQL function that makes it so you can insert information into a table but only when you are admin. The problem is, my admin 'userid' is in my 'users' table, and the information I want to be able to insert is in the 'comments' table, so when I try to post something it says I cannot because of a foreign key confliction. tldr - is there a way to reference multiple tables in one SQL statement? My latest unsuccessful attempt at this is as follows - ""INSERT INTO `comments` (`title`, `post`, `postdate`) VALUES ('$title', '$post', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) REFERENCES `users` (`userid`)";"

i'm at my wits end

in jquery how can i delete the content of a table before i generate a new table? when i press a button it generates a table with a tbody, then when i press it again i want it to delete that so when i create a new table it doesn't just append to the end of my last table.

this is my table appending:

            $("#relatedSites").show();
            $.each(data['competitorInfo'], function(index) {
                $('#relatedSitesTable tr:last').after("<tr><td>" + data['competitorInfo'][index]['title'][0] + "</td><td><a href=//" + data['competitorInfo'][index]['url'][0] + "><font color=#464E51>" + data['competitorInfo'][index]['url'][0] + "</font></a></td></tr>");
            });

and this is my table:

                <div id="relatedSites" class="col-md-12">
                    <h3 style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0.5%;">Related Sites</h3>
                    <table id="relatedSitesTable" class="table">

I really dont understand how to write safe code. To be more specific, I dont understand how to sanitize code. I'm new to this and the examples on how to write it are confusing.

Is it as simple as
$inputfield = get()
$filteredcontent = htmlspecialchars($inputfield)
echo $filteredcontent

?

>>54355231
Yeah, it's so old and obsolete. Nobody uses it anymore.

>>54355331
This is not really sanitization, this is escaping. And that's good: you need to escape your external input each case you'll insert the somewhere.

Escape it for HTML display (htmlentities, etc)
Escape it for SQL insertion (prepared statements, etc)
Escape it for shell (escapeshellcmd, etc).

You can try sanitize your data with various filters (make sure it's real email, length of strings, etc) but it may leave security holes you didn't think of. So always escape it.

>>54355454
That makes sense.

Can you guys rely to me microjobs? like 3-4 dlls assignments

>>54355454
Manually escaping and prepared statements for SQL are not the same thing. Escaping is fragile, prepared statements are always the best approach for security.

I have to learn backbone js for my new job next month but of all the frameworks out there I thought this was the least used? should they transition to something newer such as react or angular?

>>54357057
Backbone is still fairly popular, not as "on trend" perhaps. It's much more light-weight than React or Angular, gives you more freedom to make your own choices rather than prescribing a route.

If your new job has a large codebase in Backbone why should they waste time to transition to current_trendy_framework unless there are real defined benefits? It's not broken.

Have a question, if anyone cares to help.

Writing a small website for someone I personally know, using Node.js back end.

The guy was going to use a paid WordPress before I talked him out of it.

What's the easiest way to go about creating a system for him to edit/add content to his website?

At the moment, I'm playing around with the idea of having a password protected edit page, with input boxes for all the text editables, and using a .json file on the server to write this to/read from when serving the page.

This works perfectly so far, but surely there is some better way to do this? Unsure if it's a dumb strategy.

              $('<td>').text('last cell')
         ]),
         $('<tr>').append([
              $('<td>').text('stuff'),

If I only want to make meme webapps for fun, how far would a HTML/CSS + Meteor + Django get me?

>>54357299
So you're writing a custom CMS with Node from scratch, rather than letting the guy use the well-established and user friendly Wordpress?

You're daft, you don't even seem to know how to make a CMS yourself. Just let him use Wordpress rather than re-inventing the wheel. Hope he's not paying you for this unnecessary effort.

Wordpress is easy to write themes for if he wanted a custom appearance, otherwise just use the thousands of cheap templates you can purchase.

>>54346788
I am, but I can't seem to get it working with urlencoded forms, even if extended: true is on.

>>54357512
The problem with wordpress is that he wanted something very specific, which could not be done with any themes. A very expensive one may have done something similar, but would have needed a lot of tweaking, to get to somewhere only half as good.

This would have been on the .com version, not .org.

The website is fairly static too, only needing changes for things like new prices, or changing descriptions, etc

>you don't even seem to know how to make a CMS yourself

I don't, and this wasn't requested, I am just thinking of ways to make it easier for him to change content, as he expected to have to edit the html text

>>54357563
Fair enough, but still think you could have learned to make a custom Wordpress theme yourself quicker than making a custom site.

With changing content, normal practise is to use a Javascript WYSIWYG editor plugin like CKEditor to replace the textarea fields in the form. You can heavily restrict the buttons/formatting the user is allowed to access, so they don't screw up the styling.

>>54357428
Well, you need HTML/CSS for basically anything that even smells like web dev, so there's that. You also need to know javascript (at least to some extent) to use AJAX and whatnot.

Django Unchained is good if you need a backend MVC framework and want to use python.

Meteor is kind of an all-in-one javascript thing though. You write one application with client-side and server-side parts and it does all the db stuff in one big blob. It's kind of okay for babby's first web application, but it has some issues. You're better off just adding libs/frameworks when you need them imo.

>>54357607
Yeah, that CKEditor seems like it could make things a lot more user friendly, and give them a fair bit more control.

Thanks for telling me about it, I'll see if I can implement it.

meteor and django are pretty big, do you really need SSR or a turing complete MVC(tm)?

better option imo is to use vue.js for the frontend stuff(extra meme cred since no one uses vue) and write the backend in Golang so /g/ ridicules you every step of the way.

>The problem with wordpress is that he wanted something very specific, which could not be done with any themes.
I seriously doubt that. WP is php shit, but it is pretty flexible.

>This would have been on the .com version, not .org.
You do know you can download and self-host WP, right? It's just a bunch of php files. Just get the cheapest shared plan from namecheap or something with a LAMP stack and install it. It's like 1/5th the cost of running a node app. If you're stuck on the idea of making it a node app, there are already plenty of CMSs that exist for it. Why not use one of those, or at least get some ideas from it. No need to make things more difficult on yourself for no reason.

>>54357691
>>54357634

Thanks for the answers.
I can already script in python, javascript and create basic HTML/CSS. Even dabbled in jQuery and Angular. So even though I'm a newb, I'm not starting from scratch.

I would just like to run some small projects, nothing too fancy nor startup worthy. Apparently Meteor has a very friendly learning curve, that's what attracted me to it.

So, are you saying I wouldn't need django if I use Meteor? Does it handle all of the server side if I'm just doing basic stuff?

>>54357730
login.jade

extends layout

block content
    h1 Login
    
    form(action="/login" method="post")
        div
            label(for="username") User Name 
            br
            input(type="text" id="username")
        div
            label(for="password") Password 
            br
            input(type="password" id="password")
        div
            input(type="submit")

index.js

router.route('/login')

    .post(function(req, res, next)
    {
        console.log(req.body);
    });

I literally just have to down to the POST request handler, and it still wont get the body of the data from the form

>>54357756
they're both end to end solutions, the difference is django is backend focused(or rather just plain unfocused, its more a CMS than a framework tbqh), whereas meteor is much newer and being js designed for frontendfags.

either one is fine, depends what language you feel more comfortable in i guess.

>>54357756
>So, are you saying I wouldn't need django if I use Meteor? Does it handle all of the server side if I'm just doing basic stuff?

It's been a while since I've messed with meteor, but that's correct iirc. It automatically comes bundled with MongoDB. It should be fine for a small hobby project, but just be aware that it doesn't scale well at all if you make something that you intend people to actually use.

If you're already familiar with js, you might want to look into using node as well. It's pretty easy to get into.

>>54359136
Spring is still the most popular. It's very extensible and flexible - it uses standard POJOs a lot, you can combine it with other libraries without much effort. Definitely worth learning imo.

e.g. You can use plain JDBC with Spring, or use an ORM, and if you choose an ORM there are many which are compatible, doesn't have to be Hibernate for example.

>>54359220

Thanks, it seems to have caught an undefined variable (assume it means the $result in the html at the bottom) and given me a notice. Any idea how to fix that?

>>54359351
It's because when you send the form, it doesn't go through your else, so your $result var is not set, hence the error.

>>54359351
>>54359371
Basically, instead of echo'ing in your if, you want to give the return value of your colour function in your $result var.

>$result = colour_text();

Don't forget to remove the $result = blabla in your function and write return instead.

Vars inside functions have their own scope.

Check out their interviews, there's even one good reddit post on it. Basically algorithms, you have to write some algorithm, explain it and suggest how you would scale it, then e.g. invert a linked list, implement you own atoi() function, bs trees, then they ask you a little about how web works, servers, protocols etc. I can't remember the rest, but this is all for a warm up. After that, (I think it depends on the country), you go through all of that again, 1 or times with a different interviewee, and then the final stage is a full day of interviews. Even before all of that is a phone interview btw.

Pretty "scary", yeah. I guess I'm a lost hope because I study webdev instead of a CS, I should either kill myself or start from the first year after this because there is no way in hell I want to work like a pajeet, moving pixels and installing basic CMSes, I really don't deserve it.

>I'm not a fan of PHP myself but there are plenty of PHP frameworks that mimic Sinatra and Flask
thats even more weird, why would you use a microframework implemented in PHP instead of a language that is more extensible and DSL-like like Python, Ruby, JS?

I appreciate your help, but I still can't do it . Simple lack of knowledge I'm afraid

>>54359630
All of that is covered in a basic data structures class. I'm at a shitty community college and we went through all of it in a single semester

Relevant. Those sorts of interviews are bullshit - as recent graduates are more likely to pass that seasoned software developers who are longer out of academia

*1 or 2 times with a different interviewer

Btw actually I think that tic tac toe is not for a warm up, but still, you get like 30-45 minutes to write it. Most of them fail that miserably.

It's echoing the word out but not in any colour

>>54359702
Yes, you do lack knowledge, I can tell by your code. But you just have to learn. It's all chinese at first. Go browse the websites linked in the first post. Don't give up.

>>54359746
I plan on learning, thanks

>>54359737
Write a "break;" after each case in your switch.

      switch ($_POST['colour']) {
        case 'bk': $colour = "black"; break;
        case 'rd': $colour = "red";  break;
        case 'be': $colour = "blue"; break;
        case 'yw': $colour = "yellow";  break;
        default: $colour = "black";
      }

>I would put anything that's not completely ugly
Almost all of my creations on my portfolio are functional but ugly. If I'm not applying to be a designer, does it even matter if my work looks pretty?

>>54359709
It's true, yeah. Unfortunately my study didnt have it, but software engineers did. But that IS something you can learn by yourself easy.

But don't forget that was really just a first step in the interview process to weed out people that dont know anything (like me :( ).

Btw is khan academy decent enough for starters? I mean, I am familiar with data structures and search algos, but don't know shit about analysis and scaling. It seems like it is very shallow though.

I watched some harvard's algos by that one indian lecturer and it was great, I understood things easily but couldn't solve shit in the assignments though...

>>54359783
I'll do that now thanks

>>54359896
Another mistake I came across was in your returned string in your function, you used single quotes but put a variable inside it. If you want to do that, you need to use double quotes. Otherwise, you'll have the same problem I had: it'll literaly display $word.

>>54359783
That did it, thanks everyone who helped out

>>54359122

function colour_text($a, $b) {
    $c = array('bk'=>'black', 'rd'=>'red', 'be'=>blue'', 'yw'=>'yellow');
    return in_array($a, $c) ? '<div style="color: ' . $c[$a] . ';">' . $b . '</div>' : '' ;
}

any tips for working from home? i'm thinking all i need is a timer so i know when to stop

>>54360582
>stopping
lel, keep working to get projects done faster and so you can be recognized as a good goy

>>54360784
i have to watch hentai and study too

What's a good text editor like Sublime but free? Sublime is great and I have no problem paying for it later, but right now I'm broke and need something to use in the mean time.

>>54361162
I use Notepad++ for Windows. And Atom for Linux / cross platform.
