Wtf does "spinning a wev server" mean??

>>54682786
wut

Do you mean "spinning UP a web server"? That just means provisioning a server with a typical web stack - the http server (nginx or apache usually), a backend language interpreter (node, python, php, ruby etc.) and often a DB (mysql most of the time).

>>54682891

Which linter do you use for Javascript?

I used to use JSLint but now I use ESLint with most of the rules turned on.

If you don't use a linter, and a strict linter, then you're bad and you should feel bad.

>>54680773

That picture is kinda stupid.

You can see how he rearranged the CSS so that it looks "terrible", when in fact the code is pretty similar, just a littel bit longer.

>>54683184

>>54683256
What? This is no comparison picture trying to prove SASS is superior to CSS. It's just an example of what compiled SASS looks like (uncompressed).
The CSS wasn't rearranged to look "terrible" either, indenting related blocks is common practice to aid readability.

I don't even have github and I only have some trivial web apps and some html+css only web designs. I have no idea what is worth having on there in 2016. Should I be worried and how to fix it?

Guys what REST frameworks offer good performance while maintaining decent levels of functionality? My company uses Django REST now but it's performance really falls short when things get too complex. We have objects with around 20 different relations and we are looking at API response times of about 400ms for one of them. When somebody wants to fetch more then one then it's obviously a disaster. Caching possibilities are also limited as those objects adapt to current user permissions etc. Slicing them does not help the total wait time either. Any suggestions? It's not the first time Django REST failed us and we are looking for something snappier without reinventing the wheel. Good support for postgis would be an added bonus.

I've had my resume and cover letter vetted by the Career Services department of my college and they've given me great tips to make them near perfect. I've sent out over 30 applications online and the most I've gotten so far in the last 3 months is automated email responses and rejections stating they've chosen to pursue other candidates. I feel like giving up despite web dev being my passion, because technically I'm qualified to work in other areas such as Networking, Sys Admin, Tech Support, etc. but none of those areas makes me happy.

You're just another webdev in a sea of endless webdevs. I don't want to discourage you, but you probably aren't going to get a response by just sending out resumes. You need to network with people, talk to peers/family who work at large companies and see if they are looking for someone like you. Employers would rather hire someone who has connections in their offices than spend hundreds/thousands of dollars advertising their position

>>54685205
Same as me except I'm 27.

So it's not age.

My theory is they see 2 projects on the github and bail without reading what they do.

Like I have a free installable geolocations API that could reduce costs on every dating and social media website so they could operate feasibly operate primarily under an ad-based monetization that would bring in more viewers than a "pay-to-message" scheme.

Not 1 email.

Are you looking for an internship or a junior dev position?
I got my first internship a month ago just by emailing the CEO of a pretty small web agency. My CV was pretty mediocre and I had only done 4 projects on github, 2 of them being related to the internship I got.

>>54685259
>Employers would rather hire someone who has connections in their offices than spend hundreds/thousands of dollars advertising their position
But a lot of them actually do advertise. I don't send out random resumes, I've only applied to open positions I come across on sites like Monster, Indeed, etc. I guess you're right though, there are probably a few good positions available that are being filled through connections without even advertising. It sucks because I love web dev more than any other area. I've seen positions being advertised with salaries well over 100k, little do they know I'd take a third of that and still be happier than most being paid in full. I will see how best I can network.

>>54685311
That sounds like a great project and it's a shame you haven't gotten more opportunities based on that. I guess we're in the same boat, although my projects are not as complex. Funny thing is though, I've actually started making a WP website in an attempt to branch out.

>>54685394
A junior dev position would be great, but I'd take an internship as well - just to get started in the field. I'll try to do the same thing by emailing a few of the smaller web startups. Thanks for the tip.

Can someone explain to my how is it that, if you disable javascript on your browser, lots of websites with interactive features still function somewhat normally?

What other web development languages are there that allow to make interactive web applications? I mean other than ASP.

>>54686085
Because its possible to do a lot with just HTML and CSS and design a site to fail gracefully or still be usable while JS is off.

This is generally good practice because everybody has Javascript off when the page is still loading.

>What other web development languages are there that allow to make interactive web applications? I mean other than ASP.

Literally anything. But Javascript is the only langauge that can currently provide fancy functionality in the browser itself

>>54685492
>I've actually started making a WP website in an attempt to branch out.
Same, and I really hate WP.

It's nice to know that I am not the only one suffering this job market atm.

>>54686085
There isn't one. What you're seeing is good CSS and forms submitting shit without using AJAX, at best.

>>54686085
I always make my sites function with PHP alone, then use javascript purely for cosmetic reasons afterwards. Though sometimes I NEED to use JS to populate some pages, I avoid it whenever possible

in all honesty I don't know if what i'm doing is bad practice or not, but i haven't had any trouble

>>54686153
>good CSS
Can you give me an example of what CSS can do in that field?

>>54685037
Do you already know what part of your service is causing the slowdown?

Anyway, I recommend servant, a REST framework for Haskell. For database accesses, persistent is a successful library.

>>54684958
Why not Atom for Windows too?

So I'm still new to Webdev, and I've been trying to use DRY as well as shorter functions.

For instance, I have it so when you do a POST request to /login, it will call a function that will find your username and check if your password is correct.

I know that nesting/callbacks can be a problem in node, and I was wondering how many nests deep I should go, before I should use call another function? Or would that cause problems?

>>54686560
>I know that nesting/callbacks can be a problem in node

Use promises, generators, or async-await.

There's no reason to put up with nested callbacks anymore.

Anyone remember the ridiculous doctypes from the 90's?

Now we just have !DOCTYPE html

how nice.

Should you indent the head and body tags since they are nested in <html> or no?

>>54686969
Doesn't really matter.

I nest mine, but some people don't

>>54686969
it doesn't really matter or change anything.
I do it because I feel better if I do.

Anybody have Wordpress experience?

I have this site I'm working on, and I wanna get rid of a sidebar (or at least push it all the way to the right) to free up some room in the middle of a page. Do I have to edit the theme itself or is there a way to do it within the Wordpress GUI thing? I'm using Page Builder Sandwich at the moment.

I just downloaded Wordpress, but the theme I'm working on is being hosted on my partner's site. Not sure how to go about it

So, uh, I've found this web-site code.org being advertised as a place to learn on how to code. So I went there and spent a few hours completing over a hundred tasks within their "Accelerated course" by moving angry birds and shit, I was really hoping that they will unlock some real coding after I complete this stuff for kids, but I don't see anything else there.
Is this web-site really just for kids? Or I have to complete every game to get something not joke-tier?

You have three options.

1.) You can just hide it with CSS { display: none;}

2.) You can go to Appearance --> Editor and edit "sidebar.php" if you're confident that you won't fuck up something. This isn't recommended.

3.) If you have the credentials to FTP in, you can edit the theme files remotely using an FTP client (Filezilla, Cyberduck, etc.)

just now noticed a small bug.
fibs should not be assigned to EvenNumbs.

>>54696638
messy whitespace and inconsistent semicolons, useless comments, not using function statements

i would use `for (let element of fibs)` instead of `.forEach`

>>54696807
got it ill rivise the for loop.
already fixed the semicolons i really just use them inside forloop statements.
fixing the whitespaces too.
thanks a bunch.
the comments are there just to get into the habbit of commenting. i usually dont which is bad.

Dude, you guys did the same thing on the same thread.

I'm getting a fucking headache /g/

Beginner here.

var findLargestSum = function() {
    var myArray = ['4916-2600-1804-0530', '4779-252888-3972', '4252-278893-7978', '4556-4242-9283-2260'];
    var stringArray = myArray.toString();
        stringArray = stringArray.split("")
    for (i = 0; i < stringArray.length; i++){
        stringArray.replace(/"-"/g, '')
        parseInt();
        }
        return stringArray;
};
findLargestSum();

Why is replace not registering as a function to remove the dashes?

>>54699038
Your regex is wrong. http://regexr.com

>>54699038
Also, you aren't even saving the new string replace() creates https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace

>>54699080
Actually got a little further ahead, I had to make it a string again since split turned all my string's into arrays again.

So I converted it back into a string.

Now I'm having a problem where "-" isn't working.

Slowly getting there.

How would I replace the - so it's a 0 value or completely removed?

var findLargestSum = function() {
    var myArray = ['4916-2600-1804-0530', '4779-252888-3972', '4252-278893-7978', '4556-4242-9283-2260'];
    var stringArray = myArray.toString();
        stringArray = stringArray.split("");
        stringArray = stringArray.toString(parseInt);
        stringArray = stringArray.replace("-")
    /*for (i = 0; i < stringArray.length; i++){
        stringArray.replace(/"-"/g, '')
        parseInt();
        }*/
        return stringArray;
};
findLargestSum();

>>54699152
Ran it through the loop actually and removed my -.

var findLargestSum = function() {
    var myArray = ['4916-2600-1804-0530', '4779-252888-3972', '4252-278893-7978', '4556-4242-9283-2260'];
    var stringArray = myArray.toString();
        stringArray = stringArray.split("");
        stringArray = stringArray.toString(parseInt);
    for (i = 0; i < stringArray.length; i++){
        stringArray = stringArray.replace("-", '0')
        }
        var reduceArray = stringArray.toString(parseInt)
            return reduceArray
};
findLargestSum();

Now I gotta get these god damn arrays to reduce and add up.

>>54699286
Gotta call it. I can't figure out how to add my Arrays.

I finally learned though /g/. Be proud of me.

Can someone point me in the direction of adding my arrays?

>>54699476
what do you mean by adding

>>54680773
less has this.

Hey lads,

I've got a bunch of divs spat out from php reading xml, but I want different sorting options.

Should I use:
>XLST to transform xml in an AJAX request.
>sort DOM Nodelist on client side (best practice right?)

If i so, have you guys ever sorted divs based on the

data-<name>="value"

attributes?

Advice me please

I find whenever I'm doing web stuff I find myself following less OO principals and things. I even found the first time I've needed to use a for loop in JS and just had no idea on the syntax.

Do you guys find this is the case, due to scripting rather than OO / Procedural programming? Or am I just not applying the principals of regular programming?

>>54700080
Am I understanding correctly - you did not know how to use a standard C-style for loop and somehow it's related to OOP?

>>54700173
I knew how to use a for loop, I use them frequently even in PHP.

But in JS, I rarely implement them, so much that I didn't know the specific syntax. I'm wondering if this makes me a shitty programmer, not applying these simple control statements, or do others find that they're less used typically in web development.

Sorry if I'm miscommunicating

>>54700201
Well, JS has both functional array manipulation methods (forEach, map, reduce, filter, fill, etc.) and procedural C-style for loops. So which to use, is up to the developer (a for loop is still always faster at the moment). Now, if you don't use either in your code, then yes - you are most likely a shitty programmer.

>>54700037
bump for help, I do not want to use xlst.

>>54700037
Don't sort AFTER dom generation, sort before-hand!
That's a bunch of extra string processing for no good reason, and really isn't the purpose of the "data-" attribute.

Parse your AJAX response from XML, sort the data, THEN generate the DOM nodelist afterwards, followed by a single call at the end to append it in the page.

>>54700080
I find, that I find, and I also find.
Basically...I find.

>>54700251
Be careful with forEach, it's not in older shitty browsers.

>>54699476
>>54699286
>>54699152
>>54699038

what the hell are you even trying to make?
what's the end goal of this code?
we aren't mind readers anon, give some context, and be more specific rather than just saying "adding arrays".

>>54700309
My PHP script echos the html tags

I.E. <div data-p='value'>

It's only now occurring to me that this really very inefficient. When did you guy stop writing spaghetti code? Sometimes I don't think I will

>>54700328
http://caniuse.com/#search=forEach
Who cares? XP is not even supported any more.

>>54699286
seriously dude, wat

var findLargestSum = function() {
    var myArray = ['4916-2600-1804-0530', '4779-252888-3972', '4252-278893-7978', '4556-4242-9283-2260'];  //don't hardcode shit in inane formats
    var stringArray = myArray.toString(); //you have no clue what the toString() method does do you? use join()
        stringArray = stringArray.split(""); //this splits the entire string up to an array of characters. Are you insane?
        stringArray = stringArray.toString(parseInt); //toString does not take any fucking arguments pajeet
    for (i = 0; i < stringArray.length; i++){ //always nice to have a global i variable
        stringArray = stringArray.replace("-", '0') //I have no idea why you are doing this but it can't be good //also it's stringArray[i].replace
        }
        var reduceArray = stringArray.toString(parseInt) //NOPE
            return reduceArray //consistent style is the bane of all programmers
};
findLargestSum();

have a non retarded way of doing it, perhaps you'll learn a thing or two about javascript. or programming.

function largestSum(numbersInARetardedFormat){
  return Math.max.apply(this, numbersInARetardedFormat.map(function(currentValue){
    return currentValue.split("-").reduce(function(previousValue, currentValue){
      return +(previousValue)+(+currentValue);
    });
  }));
}
largestSum(['4916-2600-1804-0530', '4779-252888-3972', '4252-278893-7978', '4556-4242-9283-2260']); //it hurts to live

>>54700358
Yeah see in this case your PHP could just output a basic response to an AJAX request, in XML or JSON, and then the client can do the rest.

I'm guessing you want all the logic on client-side, with the server just handling requests for data?

>>When did you guy stop writing spaghetti code? Sometimes I don't think I will
I find that looking through lots of different projects, and reading their code, is how you minimize your own spaghetti habits.
Reflect on the work of others, and then improve your own. Ask yourself why they've written that small chunk of code in a certain way, and what their intentions were at the time of writing it, as opposed to how you yourself would do it.
Think of the many different ways a simple yet useful piece of code can be written, and ask why each way is either better or worse.

>>54700366
- XP is officially supported until 2019 for POS systems.
- Vista and early releases of 7 still have this problem too.
- Do more extensive research rather than just relying on caniuse. If this was CSS I wouldn't care so much, but come man a broken loop could completely kill your app.

What is better to start off? Frontend or backend?

>>54700589
I understand what you mean, but these things don't occur to me when writing code.

I'll try to re-write a bunch of this.

>>54700630
Fair point, but not using modern (2009 was 20 years ago) features because of shitty browsers is an excersize in frustration. What I do is check for features, that I am using in a small bootstrap script, and if even one of them fails, load core-js and another MB of assorted polyfills.

>>54700634
Both.
Full-stack is preferred now, unless you're strictly only doing design or UI/UX work.

So I made a very simple function:

function flo(number) {
  var hold = number - Math.floor(number);
  console.log(hold);
}

flo(10.4); == 0.40000000000000036
flo(1.4); == 0.3999999999999999
flo(1.6); == 0.6000000000000001
And the only number that would work the way I expected are the ones that have 5 after dot:
flo(1.5); == 0.5
flo(1.532); == 0.532

Why does it work like that?

I feel like there's so much boilerplate and preprocessor shit just to get it all running, it all feels so hackish

is this what web dev is about nowadays?

>>54702453
Just use a yeoman generator or something.

>>54702453
Yes, web languages weren't meant to do what we do today so everything feels like a hack and that it could break at any moment. Blame the World Wide Meme Consortium.

>>54702453
that is what react webdev is like. webdev has become a huge field in the last couple of years and the spectrum of tools is really wide, from hacky to 'that makes sense'

>>54702453
BackboneJS is better than React and Angular in my opinion, but I might be biased.
I hate that about web dev though. When you're working with Node, Python, etc. you will always have to be managing dependencies and modules.

This is kind of hard to tell what's going on
from the classes you use i'm assuming you're using bootstrap css?

It looks like you have a breakpoint at <1200 that removes float on your top <li> elements, or they have a width of 100% or something

Either way, find that query breakpoint and tweak your submenu there, probably need to remove the absolute position and add some left margin so they are indented

Just look at those that are still updated, i personally use phpstorm, but i have never used another one so i can't give you a personal experience of other ide's.

Do any of you actually use things like augmentation, global imports, fall-throughs with switch blocks and exception handling? I've been doing the best practices course in codeschool but they don't really give any working examples of how those things can actually work in real code. I kinda understand the concepts but I'm still very new to Javascript.

>>54706743

There is a sort of retarded programmer debate going on. some will avoid using if's and use as many switches as they can whille others will avoid switches like the plaque. I honestly don't see the problem with using both if they need arises.

I have used prototyping and it can be very useful, if you like OO.
