first for we're all gonna make it

So I have 3 computers (all wangblows), 1 doesn't have any admin rights and I have access to a VPS. How can I sync my environment across these 3? I know about Vagrant but I am not sure how I will use it in this case and connect it to an IDE.

Hey team,

I'm trying to make my site mobile friendly. Because of the high resolution on the small screen, I just made all the font sizes bigger and that worked except all the ads look tiny now. How can I make it work properly?

>>54302901
Dont make the fonts bigger.

Do use http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_viewport.asp
in the header.

>>54302923
Nice. Why don't they teach me this shit at web development school

>>54302966
Thank god I never went to webdev school then. :^)

You should just go to school for your degree. But the real learning is done working on your own projects and stumbling across solutions online.

>>54302162
I'm afraid I can't. Especially since I'll have to get a job before summer ends or its suicide for me. Haven't even started learning javascript but maybe I'm underestimating myself with how much more HTML/CSS I need to learn. Putting yourself down is always hell when learning something new

I have a bootstrap carousel at the top of my page and it is full width and not in a container so it goes to the edge of the page. This is what I want EXCEPT once the page gets too wide, what query do I need to do to make it act as if its in a container above a certain width?

Suppose I have something running already on production - how do I scale?

One database? Replicated separate databases?

Multiple frontend servers?

>tfw been lurking /wdg/ for almost a year while never being able to stay focused on sticking with it long enough to escape neetdom
if I'd just have kept at it this whole time, I would've already had a job by now.

>>54305593
What's your bottleneck?

Find that and scale it.

>>54305593
Caching is probably the easiest and it should get you pretty far.

can someone clear up just this one detail about how to do server-side scripting on a website

the way it works is you have a php/python/java/C++ script/program ready to run on your website's server, and the script/program (which is on the server side and never downloaded by the user) contains the username and password (which must never get leaked) for the website's database, right?

and then how does the end-user (visiting the website through a web browser/mobile app/scraper type of thing) send and receive commands and data? is it through http requests or something?

>>54306498
yes, you do a (most of the time) post request to the server which passes it on to whatever it's configured to.

>>54306498
>user fills in a html form and presses send
>php, which the user cant see, retrieves the data from the form, filters it and then puts it into the database using your passwords

I have 100 categories where I am displaying the top 10 entries in each category. Right now I am using a for loop in the django template to display everything. It is taking 20 seconds to display the page. I feel like looping through and printing is causing the delay. The db query takes 500 ms

I want to do the 100 loops at the same time.
Is this something I can use react for? Or am I better off trying to write my own ajax handler? Or what would be a better solution?

I don't understand Slim 3...

I don't get how to use a Slim\Twig view when using that syntax:
>$app->get('/', 'controller:method');

Is it just me or Slim 2 was way easier? I thought I'd use Slim to work faster, now it's been two hours of no work.

>>54307003
Alright, I finally got it. That DI is annoying, but at least I'm learning new stuff.

has anyone had to do a whole lot with timezones in your apps? I want to keep my server at UTC, and then adjust each user's time by their timezone, but I'm trying to decide how to do it. It makes sense to me that the user should specify their timezone, but I can't remember ever having to do that in an app, and I don't want their location data. Any ideas?

aren't there any (free or paid) resources for internationalization for common things like "username", "password", "email", "required", "reset password" in different languages without having to resort to using google translate or some dictionary

>>54307148
javascript date object already does this for you.

>>54307306
What exactly are you looking for? A JSON? A SQL table to read from with culture + word?
I'm not aware of any service or whatever, but sounds like a common problem.

>>54307421
just any list of translations of common website/software user-facing words and phrases would do, i don't need it to be in a particular data format

>>54307464
>>54307306
Steal it from other projects that are already localized. WordPress is probably already available in a million different languages so maybe start there

>>54307528
ok thanks that does seem like the most reasonable option

Hope this is fine for this thread...

So I have a start up with a good amount of money invested (not mine) but they wish to make an automated system for their check ins. This is for a clinic, so essentially the person comes into the clinic on that day, and gets checked in without ever having to go to the counter else than to maybe show ID.

The system I was thinking of was similar to how a lot of large stores/work out places or even just normal businesses have slide cards to check in. I wanted to integrate a system where people get their card upon a first visit, then upon coming back to can slide their card to update their information, aswell as a bar for a digital signature at some form of computer station. This would all just link out to the clinics site essentially or just it's records program so it can be updated.

My question is, looking at something like this, is it even a good idea for a clinic, about how many people would be needed for such a job, and since I'm pretty sure the technology already exist what are some companies that can be called to buy out this system to implement.

>>54308523
I would just have a textbox that says "Type your last name"

It would pop up a list of people with that last name with an appointment scheduled for that day and they could click on it and then click 'check in'

Veteran Affairs has a system just like that, but touchscreen.

>>54308523
some european countries have that, everything is stored on a card which has your information on it which can be read by medical facilities.

can you suggest some good (preferably free) visitor tracking app? Awstats is kinda shitty and have to wait for day reset to see new data

>>54308634

Ubuntu. That way I can use the same OS on my laptop as on my server.

I'm sure CentOS is a better idea on a server and Windows on a PC. But I like to standardise things so I can test things easier.

>>54308582

That actually doesn't sound too bad. Then if the person looses a card it's not a hassle either. Thanks for the tip. My only real issue with that system would be if someone has the same name or decides to click on someones elses. Could each person in the clinic be given a pin code or further the log in to update info through first putting in their DOB year. I want to make this system as simple as possible for clients, but still safe and fine.

For this I could possibly make my own system that runs for the clinic to use that incorporates all this and just sends off to the server/desk the info. I just don't know how difficult such a thing would be to create, if there's any good code to re-use, or even where to begin really.

Thanks for the suggestions again.

>>54308732
Having two people with the same first and last name with an appointment on the same day in the same clinic would be a rarity, but it can be solved.

You can just put first middle and last name.

I would only add the middle name if there were two people with the same first/last on the same day in the same clinic. Doing it for every name wouldn't look as clean.

Have you tried giving it the CSS of:

max-width: 1000px;

Why does Dreamweaver not like it when I do this:

  $updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE Users SET Red=%s, Green=%s, Blue=%s WHERE Identification=$_SESSION['MM_Identification'] ",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Red'], "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Green'], "int"),

>I just don't know how difficult such a thing would be to create, if there's any good code to re-use, or even where to begin really.

It's not that difficult. You need 3 pages.
Have an admin system for Doctor's computers to set appointment. Add to DB. AJAX/PHP

Check in computer has what I already told you
select first name, last name from the database where the day, month and year = server day month and year.

When they click their name AJAX 'checkin' column to true where their name is.

Receptionist's computer constantly queries the DB for new checkins and displays on the computer.

I would put a slightly different version of that on the doctor's computer so they can click a name they are ready to have sent back, then the receptionist will see it and can call them up.

Not.

I know that it's shit, and I told you that I'm a pleb. And yes I know that the default generated shit from Dreamweaver is full of holes.

Something more useful would be:
Can I just replace the sprintf with something else?
Can I just slap real escape around one of these bad boys: GetSQLValueString($_POST['Red2'], "int") ?

>>54309626
And I just remembered that the code has this, so am I safe?

  if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {

Pretty easy to build. I'm sure that any half decent dev can build your kinda quickly. You only need a server where to have your user management stuff on, some kind of PC at the entrance of your building that reads the RFID card into a form and then submits it to your management system. Not to sure what exactly you want to do, but tracking working times and stuff is easily built.

>>54309722
Its 2016. Use PDO

What's so great about Angular? Lots of employers seem enthusiastic about people who know it. I've tried studying it but still never implement it into my projects. What's the point?

Short question. Any drawback on using $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] as a redirect destination in case of user error?

Example:
User creates another user and uses an empty string as name. That causes my page to throw a userException which contains the error message for the user. He gets redirected to where he was and gets the message displayed.

>>54310303
It's a tool for the tool box. It's a pretty good general purpose frontend framework that can do a lot of things.

Mostly, it's popular because there are a lot of developers that know how to use it, and the reason there are a lot of developers that know how to use it is because it's popular.

Some meme.js framework might be better at a particular task, but angular is a workhorse that's been around forever (as far as frontend js frameworks go) and will probably be good enough at most things most of the time. Also it's sponsored by google. People like google.

How big of a MEME is creating and selling Wordpress/Tumblr themes and shit ?

As I am seeing the crust of it, it seems like there is ~50 famous developers/companies that make the top 1% and the rest is almost luck or underpaid.

Is there someone that is in this niche to confirm this or tell me how exacly it is ?

All I want is to get into it for ~10-20 projects, sell few just to get it going and put it in my resume for a local company so I can have a normal job. Since I don't have any CS degree or any xp in the market

>>54310782
I'm not in the business, but
> ~50 famous developers/companies that make the top 1% and the rest is almost luck or underpaid
sounds pretty accurate. It's hard to make money off things people put online for free. Especially since (I assume) you're not some kind of web design savant or something. You'd have better luck offering some kind of service like making sites and whatnot.

Some plugins turn it off.

You risk infinite loops if it takes them back to a page that throws the same error.

You risk them being redirected to an unexpected page that isn't designed to be displayed a second time.

Don't be lazy, catch your exceptions properly and make sure you send the user to a known safe page or the form they need to resubmit.

Can also be worthwhile coding a default exception page for unrecoverable errors.

My mistake, I missed a detail: userExceptions are manually thrown, all other "harder" exceptions end at a 403, 404 or 500 page.

The pages with userExceptions are forms, so they are redirected to where they entered invalid data.

Pretty dumb question, but how can I prevent text from after the form from sticking to the back of my form? I can't seem to remember.

I tried AngularJS, and particularly hated the way of including modules and how overcomplicated it seemed.

Those are all block elements, without CSS fucking shit up, they shouldn't displlay inline.

I have been working with JS trying to make a banner slide show thing.

I got it to where you click on the next button it slides to the next slide but, if you click while your in a transition it will brake my script. is there a way i can set a condition for the click event I have been using setTimeout() but i dont think this is that good of a function.

<script>
            var top_slide = true;
            function move_slide1(){
                console.log("2b1");

These are CSS transitions presumably? You could use a flag and something like `transitionend` but browser support is bad. Really you'e better off using a plain old JS animation. Try something like:

            $(document).ready(function() {
                var animating = false;
                $('#next_slide').on('click',function(e){

Why won't PHP let me use my functions from an included file? This is the error I get on my page:

Notice: Undefined variable: valid_username in...

Why does it think it's a variable?

>>54320453
post the function and how you're calling it.

>>54320480
Ignore the really shitty code for now.

<?php

//username
function valid_username($input)
{
    $taken_v = true;
    $blank_v = true;
    $letter_v = true;
    if($row['Username']!=$input)
    {
        echo "Username is taken.";
        $taken_v = false;
    }
    
    if($input="")
    {
        echo "Username is blank.";
        $taken_v = false;
    }
    if(!(preg_match('/[a-zA-Z]/', $input)))
    {
        echo "Username needs at least one letter.";
        $taken_v = false;
    }
    
    
    if ($taken_v && $blank_v && $letter_v)
    {
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
    
}

//Password
function valid_password($input)
{
    $length_v = true;
    $space_v = true;
    $match_v = true;
    
    if (!(strlen($input) <= 8))
    {
        echo "Password has to be at least 8 characters.";
        $length_v = false;
    }
    
    if (preg_match("/\\s/", $input))
    {
        echo "Password can contain no spaces.";
        $space_v = false;
    }
    
    if(!($password == $passwordTwo))
    {
        echo "Passwords do not match.";
        $match_v = false;
    }

    if ($length_v && $space_v && $match_v)
    {
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
    
}

?>

And then I'm calling the functions here, in another file. The file that the functions are in have been included properly.

if($valid_username($user) == true && $valid_password($password) == true)
    {
        $sql = "INSERT INTO users (Username, Password, Name, DOB, Email, Access)
        VALUES ('$user', '$password', '$name', '$dob', '$email', '1')";
        
        if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
            echo "she's all fuckin done, cobber";
        }
        else {
            echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
        }
    }

>>54320556
>$valid_username
>$

think about it.

>>54320556

Most of those are example of thinks that work, but aren't good. If your 'wut' is to poor standards of coding rather than incorrect coding, I agree with you.

try utilizing pdo instead to connect and query your database, mysqli/mysql isn't recommended due to security issues.

ma nigga

I want to make a viewcounter on my own live stream page and thought about using websockets.
If a client is connected it counts as 1 viewer. I don't care about people watching a stream directly.

What server side should I use for that? Do I even need one or can clients talk with eachother?
I feel like this should be pretty simple, the server just counts how many connections are open and sends everyone the totalcount if it changes.

I'm a bit rusty with modern JS. I'm mostly maintaining ASP.NET applications at work made 10 years ago.

God tier webdesign : http://www.chiptune.com/

So I'm using brackets and live preview always works when I'm using html. Even when I add a new html page, it works. When I use CSS, live preview doesn't automatically update like html.

Please help.

You probably learned some sane language before starting PHP, and it's showing.

For some bizarre reason in PHP, the ternary operator's expressions are swapped.

I was thinking about taking up a hobby in bug bounty hunting specifically with respect to web app exploits. I've got a basic knowledge of python and am practicing everyday. What are the things I should look into? I'm not really looking to make a living but more hoping to make a lucrative hobby out of this. Any thoughts?

>>54327558
People these days are unable to admit that their brains can fail. That they are too stupid / inexperienced / simply mistaken.

That's because teachers started with this "every kid is special" bullshit where everyone is told that they're geniuses who will change the world.
People don't fail at tasks - it's the tasks that are stupid. If they can't do something, then there's no reason to do it, because humans were obviously not meant to solve tasks of this caliber.

People make up the most ridiculous excuses for their stupidity or ignorance. For example, when someone can't give you an answer, it's often because they "Think too complicated".
People can acknowledge some flaws they have, like when they're too fat, too ugly, lack motivation, are a pathetic leeching neckbeard living in his parents' basement, but HOLY SHIT, their intelligence is a no-go area.

Node vs php ?

>>54327992
Node easily

>>54327641
Well, you should probably learn html/css/js and have some knowledge of common js libs/frameworks (jquery, angular, react) since that's what web apps and sites generally use.

Also you should know a bit about databases since SQL injections or similar vulnerabilities are pretty much the first thing any would-be hacker would try.

You should know about things like cross-site scripting attacks and cross-site request forgeries since those are common. Also, REST, design patterns (especially MVC, MVVM), HTTP, Linux, Apache, Nginx, Node, and other techs that are commonly used.

I don't necessarily mean you need to be an expert in all that stuff, but you should know what everything I listed is at least, and have some level of familiarity with most of it. Meanwhile, cruise around github and look at the issue trackers for popular projects. See what kind of problems they've had and how they fixed them. Maybe solve some problems yourself. Eventually you'll get a feel for things. It also helps, of course, to have a dev job so your brain is soaking in code all day and you have access to your coworkers' brains as well.

After all that, you should have a good idea of what kind of things interest you. Go learn more about that. Eventually, you'll just sort of accumulate a critical mass or knowledge and start being able to solve more and more problems.

Imho it's better if you don't think of it like studying. If stuff like this interests you, you'll naturally gravitate toward it. Once you have the technical skills required to make something practical, you'll start to learn about new things automatically as you run into problems that need solving. If it stops being fun, you'll get burned out, believe me.

Yea I appreciate that. I am working in a field totally unrelated to this stuff but I've long had an itch to pick up some programming skills. But the itch itself felt a bit aimless as I never could figure out what it is I wanted to do with programming. App development and all that never grabbed me. I guess I have a lot of good memories zenning out doing logic problems in my uni's logic course and I've been wanting something similar. The desire to web app pentest was more out of an interest to explore code and maybe make some money all while getting that zenned out feeling again. Hope I can stick with this and follow a natural path like you're suggesting. If I do then your comment will have been a part of attaining that goal. Thanks.

>>54328470
If you're going to ask for help, you need to give some details, senpai. There are like a billion different things out there you could use that depend on what exactly you're trying to do and what language you're trying to do it in.

>>54328582
It's not web related, but I like to write automation scripts in python or bash. Maybe you can start with things like that.

I have a STACK cloud account, and my RPi is attached to it with WebDAV. Every hour it checks if there is something in my dropfolder, and then moves it to my inbox, inside a folder that has the date as name.

It's something simple, but it might help you find likewise project to start programming with. I usually suggest starting without a language and just learn Boolean logics and algorithms.

>>54328707
>I usually suggest starting without a language and just learn Boolean logics and algorithms.
geez, do you think new painters should go outside and fuck trees too?

>>54328770
I'm not saying to go without language for months. Just start of learning what Boolean logic is, get to know how it works by heart. And then learn how something like a for loop works.

If you start just programming without knowing those things there is a good chance that you just crash because you can't figure out how to do certain things.

Like a painter should know the results of mixing colours before he starts to paint.

>>54328829
>Just start of learning what Boolean logic is
Not that guy, but isn't boolean logic just basically True or False? lmao

>>54328625
Sorry for being vague, im not that good at asking questions.
Basically the entire site is done in PHP since I just learned it this semester. It works well enough, but its terribly sloppy. The database itself runs off of the sql database in XAMPP.
I was looking for something kinda easy to get into but challenging enough to read into more. I was thinking of a javascript library since I learned about some of that too, but there's so many out there.

>>54328878
If, And, Not.

For us it's super simple, but I have seen new people struggle with it. Especially when you start combining. Like (!((X|Y)&Z)).

>>54328829
I could explain everything there is to know about boolean logic to a 12 year old in like...under 10 minutes. Probably for loops too. None of that is complicated at all.

>>54328979
Well I'm only talking from what I have seen.

It's really easy to write down, but to do it on the fly takes practice for some people. If it is natural to you then great move on.

I've learned it in school when I was 13. I was fluent with it after the first class, but for some people it took 5 lessons until they started to get a grasp of it.

>>54328918
If you want to stick with php, look into larevel or symfony.

If you'd rather go into JS, you'll need to learn about node to do any backend/database stuff. You'll also want to know how to use AJAX to load data into a single page app dynamically.

>>54328918
Wordpress or Zend

Total noob question here. I'm almost finished making a website, then I'm gonna buy a domain name. After that, how do I actually put it up on the internet? It's a very small website with almost no user input, can Amazon Web Services handle it?

>>54328829
Yeah no the best way to get started with something is to just play. Follow a tutorial or two then make simple stuff on your own.

I started programming with XNA. My first game was a little clicker game all done in 1 file, i didn't use loops or objects or arrays because i did not understand them. I had fun though.
3 years later i'm basically doing the same thing still: Follow some tutorials, then make stuff on my own, maybe force myself to study something every once in a while. But mostly MAKE STUFF.

The best way to crash a beginner is to overwhelm him.

>>54302144
Is there something similar to Django, except for Rust?

>>54329794
>can Amazon Web Services handle it?

AWS is probably way overkill. If it uses nginx or node or something like that, you'll need to use AWS or another cloud computing provider like Heroku or digital ocean.

If it's php-based you can get LAMP stack shared hosting for really cheap. I like namecheap, but there are a ton of them.

If it's a static site with just html/css/js and no backend database stuff, you can actually just github pages for free (Plus the cost of the domain name)

Deployment will vary depending on where you host it.

The idea is to use that instead of downloading and keeping the image on my server

No. Abuse the API all you want so you can take the load off your server.

= vs == vs ===, for vs foreach, use of keys and pointers in foreach, if (function()) / if ($variable), switch, break and so on. Then there's the fun of recursion.

For shits and giggles you could try making delete and update work through ajax.

Important skill to know.

>>54330597
I hear you. One thing that isn't visible here that I've implemented is pagination and search url queries. I'd like to make those 2 work through ajax as well. I know nothing about ajax, but it's definitely important, so I'll take that challenge up

I don't understand, you have a writing assignment about html, or...?

Guys I need help
I have a meeting tomorrow with some news guys, they want to make a news/magazine website, but they don't want it to be WordPress.

I don't know how to make a CMS yet, only know HTML/CSS/JS.

What do?

>>54331276
Pull your dick out in the middle of the meeting. They won't give a shit what CMS you use after that.

Go for it. It can be damn interesting.

We (a small agency) built a small webapp for a big national company recently, and all the time we were told there's no time or budget for security. Emails containing spreadsheets with plaintext passwords, passed around by middle mangement types at their end, no hope of security even if we tried. Which we did. Ah well, short lived project for a one off event, not gonna get too bent out of shape on it, just did what we can to not be complete cowboys about it - the cheap, biggest bang for buck stuff like CSRF tokens, sanitising output for XSS, sanitising input for SQL injection and locking down the server (no password auth allowed for ssh, non-standard port, removed nginx version headers etc.).

Then they got a huge international company to pentest it for some reason, long after the bean counters had waved off all the insecure shit we advised them against. They likely paid more for that pentest than they paid us to build it. Anyway that came back and I learned a couple of new things from the report.

1) CSV output should also be sanitised, because the kind of middle-management-office-wankers-who-cant-use-computers and who sign off on insecure shit like this also like to use software like Microsoft Excel which can run fancy formulas that do a little more than maths! (http://www.contextis.com/resources/blog/comma-separated-vulnerabilities/)

2) SSL3 poodle.

3) Pentesting is about throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks. You don't need to learn each attack individually, you just use tools that try as many as possible. I saw links in our DB after the test that lead me to this tool suite https://portswigger.net/burp/

4) At the end of the day the haircuts decide whether it matters. Security is just a cost benefit analysis to them, they simply don't get it.

I played this wargame a while back, learned a few things, but didn't get too far (finished Bandit). You might enjoy it http://overthewire.org/wargames/

Apologise that you can't help them, then direct them towards a more suitable freelancer or agency.

I've taken over projects that people obviously didn't turn down when they should have, I've seen the mess that gets left behind. If you don't know how to achieve what the client wants, don't take their money. It's not just immoral, you're also going to fuck yourself over when you can't deliver.

I've done it myself, because sometimes you don't know that you don't know enough to deliver a successful project. I spent months on it, sleepless nights, completely stressed and quickly burned out after delivering a subpar project well past the deadline. I also didn't have the balls to ask for more money for all the extra time it was taking me so I was working for nothing while having no spare time to work on paying projects. I burned through my savings, cut back my spending to practically nothing and barely made it out in one piece. It didn't end with a big shouting match and burned bridges with the client, but it wasn't exactly a cork-popping celebration either.

Know your limits. If you really want to work on the project try to arrange it so you subcontract on the frontend. Or if you fancy yourself a biznis man, outsource the backend stuff to someone more capable. Just do what you think is best for the client (If you like them. If you don't take their money and give them a malware'd up Joomla template).

When I started out I didn't know how to make a simple HTML website.
I learned by doing and the customer got what they wanted.
Just because I don't know how to achieve what they want at the moment, doesn't mean I won't be able to learn and deliver it.
I know my limits, and I'm pretty sure I will figure out how to do this in a short time.
So your post is invalid.
Also they DONT want to give enough money for this kind of job, they're looking for a very cheap solution, nobody who actually knows how to do this shit will accept that money.

Wtf? Why am I hearing from my colleagues that basically everyone wants their site on WP then? Why is everything I read here completely different from my experience? I still don't get it what's so wrong with WP and other customer/business CMSes.

>>54332189
the client is already knowledgeable enough to know that they /don't/ want WP so consider it different circumstances than the usual "we have no idea what we want" = wordpress solution

>>54332189
They probably took advice from some retard who said WordPress was not for them, when it is actually just what they are looking for...

>>54330307

when something breaks or goes horribly wrong, and you have no idea why, you'll find out whether the seniors are really any better than you.

>>54332604
>it's dynamic and weakly typed
And yet you praise the frameworks around it. Those frameworks exist because of JS' reflective properties. You'd have to jump hoops to get that kind of functionality for a statically typed language.
>function scoped variables are annoying
Agreed
>variable hoisting is annoying
It's meme-tier so I don't pay mind
>callbacks make code into spaghetti
You've outed yourself as a noobie programmer. Callbacks are an important part of development in any area, be it in front/back-end web dev, gamedev from when C was popular, graphics programming through programmable pipelines, etc. You can't emulate callbacks in any useful way any other way, and at that point, you may as well have callbacks

>>54332692
Callbacks do turn code into spaghetti quickly. Not sure why you are saying "hurr ur dumb" when it's true. You have to manage them properly or you end up with some monolithic thing that's difficult to follow without organizing it somehow. How many people actually manage this properly?

And weak typing doesn't mean you suddenly get extra functionality. You just end up with a headache because you get ridiculous runtime errors when the addition operator coerces an array to a string or something retarded like that. Java is static/typed and frameworks like Spring and Hibernate are using reflection to work.

>>54332785
>How many people actually manage this properly?
They aren't awful at programming. What do YOU find difficult to understand about callbacks? How do you envision tools like gulp working without them? Or timer functions in JS/SDL? Or anything else where you want to describe a transformation of data without repeating yourself everywhere and violating DRY?

>And weak typing doesn't mean you suddenly get extra functionality
Well you gain no extra functionality from having it. Maybe if you were able to explicitly define how much space your numbers could hold, you could save a bit of memory, which is negligible considering JS interpreters are quick, but even then if you're confused because your arrays are being coerced into strings, you just don't understand your code or programming

>>54332847
>What do YOU find difficult to understand about callbacks
Nothing. I'm saying that they make code harder to read. I use async to manage them.
>your arrays are being coerced into strings
They aren't. I just don't like the idea of that being a runtime exception.

I like how all of your arguments devolve into personal attacks. I've won just fyi.

>>54332881
>Nothing. I'm saying that they make code harder to read.
So you are terrible at programming

>I just don't like the idea of that being a runtime exception.
On a reflective, interpreted language..

Should I learn to code? What are the benefits and how long does it take to learn?

So I've been playing around with Node/Express, and I've started building my own APIs.

I've been using Postman to test routing and all that. When I do a post request in Postman, I can create a new user. But if I use anything but application/json Content-Type, it 404s and wont POST any data.

I'm a newb, so any help would be ace

Why isn't my node.js server running in one very specific building in my school?

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var http = require('http').Server(app);

var GetAddress = function() {
    var os = require('os');
    var ifaces = os.networkInterfaces()

    for (i in ifaces) {
        for (j in ifaces[i]) {
            if (ifaces[i][j].family === 'IPv4' && ifaces[i][j].internal === false) {
                return ifaces[i][j].address;
            } 
        }
    }
}

http.listen(3000, '0.0.0.0', function() {
    console.log('listening to '+GetAddress()+':3000');
});

Should I know HTML/CSS WELL (Im a bit of a newbie but can read html and write simple html css) before I jump into javascript?

>>54334871
I would recommend learning Html/Css pretty well before doing any hardcore Javascript.

You don't necessarily need to know them inside out, but with Javascript, it can be a lot more powerful if you know how the Dom works

>>54334883
At what point would one know HTML/CSS "pretty well"?

>>54334871
You won't need them to learn javascript as a programming language.
You'll need them when you're using the dom api to do shits on the client

>>54334896
I'm not sure if there is a specific answer, but it should only take a few days to understand how it all works.

As long as you can build a simple site with pure html/css without a lot of external resources, then you know it well enough to start using Javascript to its full extent
