Friendly reminder PHP is shit.
Friendly reminder there is an angry Javascript dev ITT that can't get a job because they all use PHP.
>>53867269
>Crockford on Javascript
What's it about?
Is it like a series of lectures on Javascript?
>>53867505
If such a developer exists, his biggest problem is that he is a bad developer. That's why he can't a job.
Friendly reminder JS and PHP are the only two web programming languages.
Job searching while not in the city/state kinda sucks.
Do you guys ever go to meetups?
>>53867545
>>53867505
More like friendly b8s
>>53867585
Yes. I go to all kind of meetups and conferences bro.
guys I'm applying for job that makes $75 an hr. I hope it get it.
Is there anyway to use jinja2 within a javascript file.
I've currently got it inside my html file so it obviously works there, but that's messy and I'd like to stick the javascript in its own file.
I realise this is most likely impossible.
>>53867647
Good luck.
As a freelancer from a poo in loo country, I'm currently asking for $50 an hr.
Am I being ripped off?
>>53867695
No I'm white and making $45 an hour. I'm being ripped off.
>>53867650

Same syntax, 100% javascript.
How come no one ever talks about Drupal or Joomla? They seem popular for dev jobs.
>>53867505

Friendly reminder that you should do what you like and find interesting, and someone will probably pay you to do it because you're enthusiastic and interested in it.
If you learn a language just because there are job listings and not because you actually like it, then you're literally Pajeet-tier.
I'm literally getting paid to do what I would have been doing as a hobby anyway.
>>53867759
Yeah, but people with a few years of experience don't really want to work with CMSs, they like to build more complex apps using frameworks.
>>53867759
Cause PHP is for niggers.
>>53867759
Because, as hard as it is to believe, they're even worse than Wordpress.
>>53867715
I'm using Flask though so passing a variable through a render_template. Nunjucks won't really work.
>>53867531
Yes... The clue is in the title.
But yeah it's pretty good if you want to understand Javascript better and have it explained more from a computer science perspective rather than a "babby's first web page" step-by-step tutorial.
Hey guys, I'm new to web dev. My favorite programming language right now is HTML, but I was thinking of learning PhP? What do you guys think?
>>53867833
GUI interfaces for IP tracking are all the rage right now, you should try Visual Basic
>>53867833
>My favorite programming language right now is HTML
>>53867833
assembly is so hot right now
>>53867759
im not a web dev but like to dabble around with it and just learning at my own pace, anyhow.. i look on job ads in my area (western sweden) and it seems like drupal and joomla are quite popular indeed
>>53868093
Probably there are more job listings because of the high turnover rate of devs leaving after a few months when they decide that life is too short to have to spend it working with Drupal and Joomla
>autist me want to make web
What's the way to go these days?
Never bothered learning php.. So node.js is the best meme for [current.year] right?
Html5.. Css.. Node.js something else i should consider, db? Sql?
Guide me senpai
Friendly reminder if you aren't using Go, or at the very least Scala you aren't a real web dev.
>https://jacobmartins.com/2016/04/04/practical-golang-event-multicastsubscription-service/
Do you test your sites? As in write tests using something like selenium? And if so, how detailed do you tests?
>>53868225
>using an obscure language while still having to use javascript on the client side
lmao. JS is everywhere and will soon because the one language to rule everything. with react native even native mobile is conquered. there is nothing left. V8's performance is already far superior to shit like python, won't be surprised if it gets faster than java in the coming years. not to mention the amazing ecosystem.
enjoy your aspie language, make sure to write about it on HN faggot
>>53868194
Why don't you fucking look at all the shit in the OP that is there specifically to answer shit questions like this? You fucking double nigger.
>>53868225
>not using an assertion library like gocheck
>>53868225
Are Go developers actively trying to steal the annoying zealot faggot fanboy crown from Python developers?
>>53868388
Go dev here. No, >>53868225 is just a faggot.
>>53868319
>left-pad
>>53868383
I never really understood the point of assertion helpers in any language, the way I do it use use a recover() middleware in the HTTP router of choice so errors cause crashes in tests but don't take out deployed servers unless it's something critical like connecting to the database for the first time.
>>53868388
>>53868425
wew lads
Should I be using Docker?
>>53868351
Cause you wouldn't get triggered that way.
Also too much things to read, any link you recommend?
Checked the list, nothing seems to ask my question, I want to learn, but not gonna learn php node.js and then decide, so what I'm asking is what is a better overall pick for a doublenigger like this one.
Just want to know what is the starter pack(html5-css-node.js-sql????)
>>53868388
That crown belongs to Node devs.

What about wix?
I have an interview tomorrow and they wanna see css/js examples
All I've done is responsive templates with html/Css. What can I show them that will knock their socks off? Particularly JS stuff
Is it just me, or is codeacademy pretty good? I feel like I'm learning something. I actually know what jQuery is and how to use it now.
>>53869221
It's good for someone who has never programmed before to get a basic familiarity with the grammar and syntax of a language, but don't let it Dunning-Kruger you into thinking you're an expert just because you finished babby's first jQuery course.
>>53869200
Make a web app that sorts and displays incriminating evidence about them being unfaithful to their significant others. Shouldn't have a problem after that.
/g/, I am being super retarded but I can't figure this shit out.
As you hopefully can decipher through this picture, I have a navbar with a dropdown menu, that is being called from somewhere else, aka, the dropdown is not a child of the parent button.
This makes it so that the dropdown doesn't stay below the button when I resize the window. Is there any possible way for me to fix this? Knowing I have to deal with this dropdown child:parent problem because of the project.
>>53869993
If there is only one stylesheet (so you dont see a sudden jump in position when slowly resizing), then you probably assumed it's position is relative to something it's not. And you have to find out what the reference point is for the browser to place that div there. It might be in a fixed location or relative to the big nav bar. Or perhaps it's a bit off the center.
>>53869993
are you setting the position with js? don't do that, make the drop down a child of the <li> with the overflow set to visible and the child drop down position as absolute/relative, it should then flow with the rest of the layout.
>>53870106
To add. You might want to consider putting the button and dropdown menu in the same div if they arent already.
>>53870106
Thanks, I see that it is relative to an element that is hidden until a certain resolution, which then becomes the mobile navbar. It's pretty terrible but I've been told to not change it.
Do you think there is a way to force this dropdown to be relative to this specific button, if that makes any sense?
>>53870128
Thanks, I am not setting with js, just css! And very nice idea but I tried and the dropdown menu now follows the button perfectly, but won't appear normally where it is usually called. (which is usually when clicking a similar button in the mobile navbar)
>>53867418
Why are you saying stupid things like this?
Modern frameworks like Lumen or Phalcon destroy any bloated java or python shits.
>>53870368
>java or python
>>53868388
You mean js developers?
Django users shut the fuck and enjoy their steamboat-tier framework. The Flask users are the annoying ones, but nothing is worse than a js developer.
Before I started coming here I only knew basic PHP and 90's HTML and CSS and deved in Windows.
I am now completely comfortable in Linux setting up LAMP/LEMP stacks, bootstrap and modern HTML/CSS, js and I'm making my first app in Cordova.
It's pretty cool to level up.
>>53870719
>LAMP/LEMP
>>53869052
And?
>>53870825
Nothing. Syntax is a matter of preference, apart from foo...end being excessively Bash levels of verbose. I find it a pain to look at.
>>53870754
Shut up, faggot. Every job here is lamp and it pays more at entry level than the average entire family makes.
In my final year at college.
Tomorrow is mock/exit interview day, going in as a web developer.
Wish me luck senpai, I'm gonna need it.
>boss wants me to add a web page for comparing two items from our database to the user and highlight different parts of the tables green for greater than , yellow for equal to and red for less than the compared item
I already know how to do this but would this be more efficient to do this on the server side when I pull the two items from the SQL database?
or should I do the comparisons on the client side?
Opera dev has these neat lines that help you line up stuff but they only to up and to the left, is there any way to get them to also go to the right and downward?

Yes, that will work. Depending on what you're actually trying to do, it might be better to explicitly return a value from your function and set the var to that.

fellas what are the most required languages to apply for a programming job?
>>53874518
You need expertise in at least C/C++, Java, some scripting language(Python, Ruby, etc) and a functional language (Haskell, Scala, Lisp) to get even a entry level job. Consider yourself lucky if you get the job after a period of unpaid internship (usually a year), there are Indians out there PAYING to be in an internship and will continue working for $2/hr.
>>53874580
literally browsing this thread right now from my comfy paid internship lmao
>>53874580
so basically all knowing languages to learn $2/h
what other careear well paid you recommend me?

Theres a video in the OP about this which is more informed than the memelords in this thread

You're only declaring the function, not executing it.

>>53878099
cookies or store the value into a db tied to the user. or if it just for that session use $_SESSION
Do I only need REST api on the backend if im going to use react on the frontend
>>53878099
You put the value back into form if it's multipage form. Or put it into some storage like database or session if it's something global. Would be much easier to help if would know the context.
>>53878321
What's the problem you're having? If it's the margin or padding, then set a margin or padding.
>>53878369
>>53878655
ok, thanks. I will try $_SESSION.
>>53878268
Maybe, but at the moment Go has a greater standing.
>>53878736
The top one uses a different style to prevent is from displaying as bullet points, so I just deleted that and never bothered with it.
I managed to get it looking a bit better by<li class="horizontal">
<p class="horizontal">Filename</p>
<p class="horizontal">Modified</p>
<p class="horizontal">File Size</p>
<a id="@item" href="#" onclick="downloadFile('@item')">Download</a>
cursor: wait;
I'm tempted.
>>53878763
What is go being used for in this context? Small backend services/CLI tools mostly? I'm interested in how people and companies have integrated it into their stack.
>>53878854
On specific cases your googlefu is as good as mine, but from what I have read small microservices and CLI tools are definitely around. But as Google's pet server language, it shines most on big concurrent performant and maybe distributed servers, with large developerbases. This particularly is where fast compilation matters.

I need to interact with Html through C#.
For instance from:
<html>
<head><title>News</title></head>
<body>
//a bunch of tags I don't need//
<div class="article">
<b>Article </b>
Article text,
Article text,
Article text.
</div>
//a bunch of tags I don't need//
</body>
</html>
To get two strings, one with the Title(the <b> tag) and one with the text (the rest of the <div class="article">).
Question is, should I use Html agility pack, the .net webBrowser thingy, or approach it in a completely different way?
Thanks in advance

What is the difference in using ID or CLASS? Don't they literally do the same thing? Can I get an example showing the difference? Codecademy just made me use them both in the same way and I got the same results with 0 difference.
How do?
>>53880106
id is unique class is for multiple objects
>>53880148
Why use ID at all?
>>53880106
You can apply a single class to many different tags but you can't do that by ID since each tag has a unique ID. So if you want
>multiple things to have the same style, use class
>you're making something which you're gonna use only once, use ID
>>53880162
maybe you have manu with buttons of same class and put id to one of them to make it different color.
you can basically also leave space in the class like this class="class1 test1" so both class1 and test1 are binded to it

>>53880523
Get a mechanical keyboard. You'll want to do those things manually once you get addicted to hearing clickity clack.

That's CSS and first-child is supported because it was CSS2, nth-child came with CSS3.
>>53880523

I'm learning node.js at the moment
>inb4 web peasant
I've only ever done front-end work (AJAX and API interactions, etc). This is my first foray into back-end programming. What I don't get is this whole "server" stuff. "You can make a server in node, and it will serve up responses to user requests"! What is special about this? I've used FTP to throw html pages onto servers, and I've obviously never had to program any of that for it to work.
So, what is it that backend languages do, exactly? I know they interact with databases, but I have no idea what value that really holds. The idea of them serving up html in response to user requests doesn't strike me as particularly interesting either, considering when you buy a server that stuff is all pre-installed.

You know how you can see this post that I wrote, calling you a moron in response to a post that you wrote where you said you couldnt see the value of databases?
Well that, and all other functionality beyond a simple "Hello World" HTML page is thanks to server-side processing and databases.

6/10, made me chuckle out loud.
>>53882068
I understood that regex is almost useless with Html(correct me if I'm wrong).
My plan was to get elements so I could display them in lists and get a whole bunch of interesting statistics, as the elements will include child elements with extra data(for example a "messege" class with a "user" and "postNumber" classes inside).
Right now I'm thinking getting the html as a string and using LINQ because I'm having some permission denied errors when trying to access some elements.

Regex is fine for html. It's probably how all HTML parsers work. Regex back references are good for recognising tags. But I wouldn't reinvent the wheel, go with whatever html parser is already available for c#
Alternatively if you're building a web scraper, check that the site you're scraping doesn't have an API that you can consume. If it doesn't then consider using Selenium's C# bindings to emulate a headless browser to build an easily-traversed DOM tree, it will also allow you scrape sites that use JavaScript frameworks and AJAX to render their content.

I dunno. I built a web scraper in Python using Selenium, but I was targetting multiple sites and some of them used Ajax. I've never touched C# so I don't know what options are available to you, other than the fact that Selenium does have C# bindings.
Selenium is probably overkill if you're just parsing a known page, try things out and see what works.

Tail call optimization is a more important feature than syntactical sugar on top of promises that can be provided by libraries.
First time I ask for help but I don't know what the fuck is going on.
I'm new to web development, and I just made one webpage where the images in 2 specific sections don't load until I scroll to where they are, and after that, they take like 1 second to show up.
In both sections, i'm adding css styles to them, like in one, im using this: https://github.com/karlhorky/gray.
Weird thing is, when I scroll up to where the section with the images are, they show up after 1 second, even after I have already scrolled trough there, and this happends some times not always.
Anyone know what is happening?

>>53887801
Yeah, I'm used to scraping off values from JSON data, so sorry for the wrong context. I just wanted to know how print the File Sizes and Filenames to the html.
I know the filename is already there, and I know that content length means the file size, I just don't know how to display this.
>>53887699
better off just switching to golang
>>53887913
I presume that html is view of Upload action. Since redirecttoaction does browser redirect you can't pass data directly in background. You can put that data into session, pass it as route values (url parameters) or directly return view instead of redirect with data in viewdata. I would pass id of uploaded file through route values if that id exists.
Stupid question: Can I record page views to a json file then have the values read from that every hour or so? Because that seems more efficient than querying the database every time a page is loaded.
PS: idk how json works, just had this thought pop into my head.

>he doesn't live on the bleeding edge

This might be a dumb question but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
I'm implementing SSO on a website (Django app) for a client, and the ID provider sent over a javascript library that handles OpenID Connect authorization, grabs the access token, and has a function for grabbing user info with that token. They're telling me I should then just have the browser give the user info (identity info and permissions) to my server and trust the identity and authorization information it contains. But this is easily exploitable right? I don't know of a way to secure this beyond a CSRF token, which doesn't prevent a user from just opening up the dev console and lying to my user info endpoint.
My understanding is that, for this type of thing, at some point my server needs to talk to their server (with an access token retrieved from the user's browser) to get trustworthy user info. Is there another type of flow that's all frontend? Am I retarded?
is there some sort of tool which can allow me to visually see where each div/every other tag is located on my page?
>>53867269
Don't you think jquery and naming the event property some super vague "e" shit is a horrible example to use for your webdev image?

>>53889639

>>53889074
You mean to tell me people pay others to use these websites for them? holy shit lol. But all you have to do is drag and drop and type.
Can anyone back this up
>>53889658
Yeah, ctrl + shift + i and then either mouse over the html in the inspector tab or click on the 'pick an element from the page' and then click on an element on the page. In chrome it's the same thing. FF's 3d view still exists, too. You just have to enable it in the dev tool options.

The only way I've gotten it to work is with MSYS2, which is basically rigging Linux on Windows.
