Hello frogo

Anybody can help me with nodelists?

When I use querselectorall(), I get back a nodelist. That's cool but why when I typeof() the result I get object rather than Element? This wouldn't usually be a problem but I have added a new function to the prototype of elements that checks what is calling it, ie:

 function Evaluate (vis, root) { return (this === Element)? ..... }
 Element.prototype.Evaluate = Evaluate;

Help a n000b?

Could someone with python and flask knowledge give a honest opinion of my codebase code quality?
https://github.com/Floens/uchan
It's some message board software I'm working on, focusing on speed by using rational caching (message boards are easy to cache) and not the "traditional" method of writing files when someone posts.
I've posted it on 8ch and people always meme about python being slow or just general "it sucks" without further explanation of what they thought sucked. I think the code base is reasonable at this stage. Not pleb tier, but not god tier either.

You know you're a web "programmer" when all you do is look for shit to copy and paste all day or beg on the internet for real programmers to write your code for you.

>>54594255
>or beg on the internet for real programmers to write your code for you.
I want an opinion, not someone to write the code for me. Did you even read my post?

How do search engines work? Do they actually loop through everything until they find what they're looking for?

Short of a week passed since my 3rd and last interview for a hipster web programming job (50/h, remote). I think I aced the 2nd and 3rd interview.

Should I send an email asking about my current status or shit?

>>54594335
Yes

>>54594225
Your mistake is to believe users of such anonymous boards have any relevant opinion about the code behind it.

Look at the reply you just got, /g/ is clearly not a dev community. Most are just kids, wannabes, amateurs who don't know what they're doing.

Finding a good advice here will be difficult. This is mostly a tech-memes board.

How defuq do i get the Zend framework on my iis?

>>54594255
Thanks for contributing nothing faggot.

>>54593599
The answer to this if anyone is asking isn't the === operator but rather (x instance of y)

function Evaluate(vis, root) { return ((this instanceof Element)? this : document)....
     Element.prototype.Evaluate = Evaluate;

Thanks everyone!

>>54594415
Not that anon, but why is it that you can find experts on /mu/ or /his/, but if you want to be serious about web development you have to go to reddit?

Let's make /wdg/ great again.

>>54594415
That's a sad state.
But you're right, and it's pretty bad on 8ch. There are a lot of threads there about image board software (because of the terrible software they're running now), but if it isn't node.js or Go then they will insult you. They will circlejerk over a language, not looking at the code or technologies used. They will create drama over the people who wrote some software. Only a few know something about real web dev.

I was hoping the situation here was better.
What are the /wdg/ threads here generally about then?

>>54594664
>What are the /wdg/ threads here generally about then?

1. Pajeets asking how to align a grid of images with CSS

Well, at least you hate PHP and nodejs, the other site think's there is nothing wrong with it.

I'm currently working through Freecodecamp and I'm starting to feel like I'm just filling in blanks and not actually learning. Is this just how it feels for a while? I'm on the intermediate algorithm section (About 300 or so modules in)

Are there any other recommended paths for learning web dev? I'm not too fond of video guided material if you have to wait for the video to finish to get some hands on.

It's not like you paid any money to use FCC. If you want to do something, do it. If you don't, don't.

>I'm just not sure if what I'm doing is the most effective way to use my time for learning

If you're even wondering that, it probably isn't. Skip to the project section and do those.

>>54595514
>is the free part of code academy tutorial any decent?
For the most part, they're pretty good for teaching you the basic syntax and usage of the language you're learning.

Brackets is good if you want an IDE and has an integrated chrome live preview. VIM is pretty much unbeatable for text editors, though.

I didn't pay money for it but I did invest 20 or so hours into where I'm at now expecting for it to get more involved. I skip to the projects but it just feels like I didn't learn the concepts and I'm just hacking stuff together from stack overflow.

If I'm devoting 4 hours a day to coding, is there a better recommended learning path?

Yes, go to school or the military or something because it sounds like you can't handle self-directed learning and need someone else to hold your hand and tell you what to do.

Oh shit I thought I was asking questions to people who've gone through similar paths of learning so that I can better myself in an efficient way.

Tokenisation and inverted indexes. By tokenising every word in the search text, which includes splitting the entire document by word, indexing each one with an ID, the placement within the document and the number of documents the word resides in, documents can be scored via algorithms that measure how relevant a search term is to a document (term count, word order, popularity, etc).

Everyone learns in different ways. An important part of self-directed learning is being able to recognize what is effective for you and what isn't. For some people, doing large numbers of problem sets is effective. For some, doing hands-on projects is more effective. Some people need to have a a human voice and diagrams explaining things to them to learn. Others need the pressure of deadlines and grades to learn.

You want help with a technical problem, people on here can probably help. For something that's intrinsic to your own brain, you're on your own.


>>54595618
> I did invest 20 or so hours
Oh wait, my mistake. After 20 hours they're supposed to email you a link to the secret part of the website where you can magically download JS knowledge directly into your brain.

As I said, if you're even wondering whether or not it's an effective way to learn, it probably isn't so move on. If you're pissed because you think that means the 20 hours you invested in the site already are wasted...Well, maybe you shouldn't have spent 20 hours doing something where you weren't learning anything.

I've been looking into ClojureScript and Elm.

Is using transpile-to-JS languages legit? I'm afraid they will die out next year and I'll be stuck using yet another unmaintained project. Also I'm afraid they will have tons of bugs and weak interop with JS. My gut is telling me to just stick with JS because it will always be usable, and ES6 isn't THAT bad of a language to use at least for making frontends.

>>54612192
Generally they're come-and-go, but I think Elm has some potential. Static typing is super useful in large, long term projects, and the benevolent dictatorship and focus on helpful compiler messages, simplicity, and quality package ecosystem is a breath of fresh air. The Elm architecture makes a lot of sense, too.

In practice, ES6 is still transpiled anyway. It's ok. We use it at my work. But if you want to refactor something, you get no help, can only rely on whatever test coverage you have + your alertness on the day.

If after "16 years of experience" all you have on your belt is PHP, MySQL and jQuery then that means you are exaggerating greatly. You definitely have not been at it enough if after nearly two decades you still only know very basic technologies and back it up by saying what versions you have migrated through, which is not as big of an achievement as you think it is.

If you are telling potential employers that you have 16 years of experience when you can't list anything other than first year basics then that reflects horribly on you. You keep mentioning CSS; do you know about preprocessors like SASS and LESS? Because those are much more useful.

You shouldn't even have to mention HTML if you already know a good stack of languages and databases because it's so fucking trivial.

They are Chinese and Russian bots.

Had one hijack a droplet a few months ago. Once they log in they immediately add you to a ddos botnet. Was sending out tons of traffic and DO shut it down.

AJAX seems cool but I don't quite get it yet. If I had a select option on a HTML form, how would I use JQuery's post method to send the selected data to the PHP code on the same page? I assume I'd just receive it as a $_POST variable in the PHP, but I'm not sure on how to send it. Any help?

>>54613478
i think you dabbled a little in web shit 16 years ago, did something else for a long time, and now you're dabbling again

if you've really been doing it regularly since the year 2000 you should be really, really good by now, so something else must be horribly wrong

i'd change your story if i were you. no one is impressed by "muh 16 years" -- more like freaked out.

I wrote my first HTML site by hand in 1995 but I damn sure don't go around talking about it as if it's relevant experience today.

Someone Redpill me on angular 2

What should I absolutely avoid
And what should I absolutely do

>>54613584
You should absolutely avoid writing anything in angular 2 for now, unless the RC is out. Is the RC out?

>>54613539
Stop thinking in terms of pages and start thinking in terms of API endpoints you POST to

>>54613196
help

>>54613615
Quick question. When something is posted with AJAX, how is it received in PHP? I assume it's a $_POST variable, but how exactly am I supposed to know what it is?

I have to build a small scale (reusable) voting system, and I've got way too much time for it.
I have the freedom to do it however I want with whatever I want.

What can I use to make this a fun project? I've all the time to learn whatever JS libraries, or even different languages.

>>54613764
you should get a better grasp on how HTTP works if you feel the need to ask that question. AJAX isn't magic and you shouldn't treat it as such.

Read up on what request methods are (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE etc), and how POST data/query strings work when sent in a HTTP message. PHP is a bit backwards in this regard, as there is no easy way to get the request payload for other RESTful methods (you need to parse the php://input stream if you are going to do anything other than key-value pairs with GET and POST).

In general, something like:

$.post('/endpoint.php', {"foo": "bar"});

Will let you see the following within an endpoint.php that looks like this:

<?php
print_r($_POST);

Array (
    "foo" => "bar"
)

>>54613684
Read the OP

>>54614219
You actually completely misunderstood the question. I was asking what the name of the post was. Eg. '$_POST['WHERE IS THIS SPECIFIED']. I found out anyway, but a swing and a miss from you.

>>54613579
I deved as a hobby. I didnt list experience on that website, just on Dice because it asked how long I've know languages. They were from Indeed though and years known isnt even listed.

How do i retrieve the GET information in JS if they are in an array? Example of how it looks:

?id[]=994&id[]=322

In php i retrieve it as an array with all the ids: $_GET['id']

But how would i do this js? I can get individual GET variables that have unique names, but how do i get an array?

>>54614803

What's a useful back end programming language to learn as a front end developer?

Crosspost from sqt

What is the correct method to display a cropped section of an image using html/css/js. Most places I find info on this recommend making a div (or other container), setting the desired width & height, setting the image as background and offsetting the background, however isn't this extremely unoptimized, or is there some internal magic already optimizing this?

Apparently there's plugins and whatnot to do this, but everything has to be self written

>>54592746
Any books to recommend to read about Docker/containerization?

>>54615161

Nvm got it working. Stole this from someone:

        var values = [];
        if(!target){
            target = location.href;
        }

        key = key.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");

        var pattern = key + '=([^&#]+)';
        var o_reg = new RegExp(pattern,'ig');
        while(true){
            var matches = o_reg.exec(target);
            if(matches && matches[1]){
                values.push(matches[1]);
            }
            else{
                break;
            }
        }
        if(!values.length){
             return null;
        }
        else{
            return values.length == 1 ? values[0] : values;

}

Damn, JS is so ugly..

>>54616836
No, that's just shit code.

I really need an idea of what I should build next.
My last nearly finished project is a Spring based user management service that can be used by other servers/web applications: I built in everything you could ever need: aop annotations, persistent remember-me, session based csrf-token, proper password hashing & salting, un&pw login, email&pw login, stateless token authentication...
All you need to do in consuming applications is entering the URL and token for an ADMIN user.
The only thing unfinished is the web gui for it...

Do you have any ideas what I could do next?

>>54616836
>>54616983
Much cleaner.

function getURLParam(key, target = location.href) {
    key += "[]="
    return target
        .split(/[?&]/)
        .filter(el => el.startsWith(key))
        .map(el => el.slice(key.length))
}

>>54617262

Not bad..

>>54614709
Been in this field as long you state but you should be saying "Been and In out of the web field for over a decade" or something fairly brief and just go in detail more at the interview and be truthful.

I'd suggest you brush up on learning SASS and/or LESS along with grunt and gulp. These are fairly helpful and would show you're trying to keep up to date with things. The problem older people have is, their un-wellness to learn new things, don't be like this and you'll get a job.

All that should be easy for you providing you are near the big 4-0 age.

I am having trouble making my Submit button sit directly to the right of my form, no padding. It always seems to move about at different page widths or break to a new line.

Is there a proper way to just get the 2 to act as one element.

Nope. Stop using IE.

>>54617262
Except your function is now broken with standard key-value pairs that aren't array-notated.

>>54617645
OP asked for array notation specifically.

>>54617442
I'm 27. Good advice though. Will learn LESS this weekend.

What's the best IDE for web developing?

>>54618782
What language? If it's just frontend, any text editor with a couple of plugins is more than enough.

>>54618782
>>54618852
brackets + chrome delevoper tools

>>54618852
mostly PHP and JS
>>54618939
ty, will consider that

>>54613602
Yes

>>54619020
if you use brackets download the addon "beautify.io"

>>54618782
Sublime.

I used Brackets before with space gray and minimap. Havent found one thing that brackets does better than sublime. Even the autofill is better. It doesnt shit up your code most of the time by forcing close tags and stuff like that.

>>54620128
Also it doesnt take 3 decades to load on windows or crash everytime on ubuntu.

>>54618782
Anything by IntelliJ, most likely WebStorm

Never mind the server part, I did a BBB review, and it turns out there is a reason its so cheap, bad service and no service.


Now should I host in the Netherlands or the US?

>>54623768
The dutch collaborate with FBI anyway so you might as well choose the one closer to you

>>54623816
That's not entirely true. The Dutch police cooperates with the fbi. But Dutch hosters themselves arent fond of it. Like leaseweb who deleted the evidence against megaupload because the fbi didnt pay the hosting bills, despite an American court order. The notice and takedown procedures are more lenient and a dmca is meaningless. Fines have no punishment element in Dutch courts so for using copyrighted pictures the fine is for example 2 times the selling price of that image, which might be 60 euros instead of thousands of dollars. Privacy regulations are better.

Legally the USA really has to be avoided.

>>54626402
You dodged a bullet, anon. You wouldn't learn about programming there, just about safe spaces and how to check your privilege.

You can teach yourself, just stay disciplined and learn something new every day. If you need the structure of school, take a look at some university CS programs. 99% of bootcamps aren't worth your time.

Anyone know of actual steady online/remote jobs? I'd be fine working minimum wage for a few months as long as it's consistent work and not freelance/contracts.

>>54626469
I'm just not sure where to start or what to do everyday. I've used codecademy a ton in the past but it just isn't best for me as far as learning and retaining. When I think of everything there is to learn including the back end, it becomes so overwhelming that I don't do anything with it.

>>54626469
i learned a shitload at bootcamp personally

its not enough to get a job immediately, but it's enough so that you can self-learn much faster after and get a job pretty soon

>>54626543
Don't worry about learning everything, that's literally impossible for one person. Backend is actually easier than frontend imho.

Pick a project and keep working on it every day. Any time you get stuck, just google it, and if you still can't figure it out, ask on here or on IRC or something. (Remember, google-fu is a skill unto itself, and it's a skill you should master ASAP). Don't worry about learning every meme.js framework there is. Concentrate on HTML, CSS, and JS, those are your core skills.

Eventually, you'll need to google things less and less, and when you do need to, you'll find that it's a lot easier because you'll have a general idea about how to do it already.

Once you feel like you're starting to get a handle on that stuff, then start thinking about backend. Pick a language (NodeJS, Python, Ruby, ASP.NET, PHP, etc) and start learning it. Make sure you understand things like HTTP, REST, MVC pattern, conceptual things like that. Get to know your preferred language's preferred backend framework (Express, Django, Rails...) and start making projects. Just like before, keep googling till you understand things. That won't get you all the way to employment, but it'll give you a better idea of where you stand and where you need to go.

Overall, just keep writing code every day. A github profile with a lot of little green squares is better than a blank one.

>>54626734
Code bootcamps are a meme.

Of course a few of them are going to be decent, but the vast majority are either scams or sjw shitholes or just unregulated bullshit.

why does freecodecamp put jquery before javascript? should you learn javascript first?

>>54627486
Yes.

>>54626517
Should be in the OP. Lionsbridge and shit like that. I got accepted, but you make just under 10 an hour after taxes so it wasn't worth it.

>>54627486
Sounds like they're almost definitely retarded and you should do a different tutorial.

And yes, obviously, you need to know Javascript first.

I would really apreciate your advice

>>54629086
Maybe so, but I saw that it was more popular than Angular (which surprised me).

Read books and do all the exercises.

any book you would recommend?

>>54629508

Does anyone here have experience with udacity?

My friend works with a web dev who got hired with a udacity "nanodegree."

Their full stack web dev course is $200 per month, about 200 hours. Or for $300 a month you get a guarantee where you get your money back if you aren't hired in the field.

I know i can potentially get hired for free if i stick to the resources on bento.io and odinproject and build a portfolio, but i was wondering if udacity helps.

I'm 26 working a pretty dead end job. No degree, going back to school is an option but it's my last resort.

>>54629524
I've researched a bit and I understood that eventually I would have to learn a bit of everything so whichever you say it's good I will study it

>>54629714
Do the codecademy course. Then pick a book about HTML + CSS, then a book about Javascript.

This how I started 4 years ago. The trick is to never stop learning.

Does that shit work for any of you?

Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it, I was just doing python on codeademy and tried it on real life but codecademy was teaching me python 3.0 and current one is like 3.5 so that's why I dropped it.
Still I will follow your advice, thank you so much

>>54629832
What is it supposed to do?

>>54629867
Scroll when you hover over the grey.

>>54629835
Who ever told you there's much difference between python 3.0 and 3.5? The syntax is pretty much the same.

Go back to that course, bro. Python is a nice backend language to learn.
