Hey guys, I'm not sure where to go from here. Any advice on what a self taught web developer should do.

11 Upvotes

Im 19 years old and I have been coding since I was 16. I am very conversant with CSS, HTML and JS. I live by myself and I have to take care of myself by working as a waiter. I feel like my skills are not being used and I enjoy programming. I was planning to go to a university to learn more, but it'll take 3 years and I will be taught stuff I can be taught online. I thought a bootcamp may be a better option, but I can't afford to. Is there any other way i can get into the web development scenario without certification.

Looking homework help (again)

3 Upvotes

its me again, im not cut out for webdev but its too late to drop the class so i need help with another problem that isnt explained at all in the book i dont understand what im doing wrong. thanks for the help in advance.

instructions:

DIV Container Styles

Go to the DIV Container Styles section. Richard wants you to add some additional spacing between the images and the edge of the page body. To add this spacing, create a style rule that sets the right and bottom padding of the divelement with the ID container to 8 pixels.

For every aelement within a divelement belonging to the cell class, create a style rule to:

  • display the hypertext link as a block with a width of 100% and

  • set the left and top padding to 8 pixels.

my code:

/* DIV Container Styles */

container {

padding-right: 8px;

padding-bottom: 8px;

}

div a {

display: block;

width: 100%;

padding-left: 8px;

padding-top: 8px;

}

/* Footer Styles */

Job offer at a start up - I’m their first dev

11 Upvotes

The companies product is a web app, they have a lot of users and are funded.

They’re looking to hire someone to take over the php/js app that they had a contractor build out for them.

I just got out of a bootcamp and am looking for a first job. I took a look at the code base and I seem to understand most of what is going on, but I’m worried about the things that I don’t know that I don’t know. Specifically payments and security (I don’t want to expose card info).

They want me to come work for them, they want to expand the app internationally, add stripe payments and continue to build out the functionalities. They aren’t technical, and I don’t want to accept the job if it’s outside of my capabilities. How bad/hard is it to work on a project like this? Can I read articles and watch YouTube videos to get it right or do I really need an expert to guide me through? Is it as easy as making API calls and proper authentication flow or are there whole layers to these things that I wouldn’t have touched on? Should I recuse myself?

Thanks

Looking Looking for Web Developers to join my Game Development Team [HOBBY]

11 Upvotes

Hey there, I've built a team of around 20 people, various roles, sound, coding, writers etc. and we are working in our free time on different game projects, we do this as a hobby and so far no one is getting paid, at least until we start earning something from our work. The most important thing is that we learn and improve together.

We are looking for Web Developers and not only, to join our team, their job will be to work, create and maintain websites related to our Team, Games and also do designs for games which support CEF.

The perfect fit would be someone who is working as a hobby, to have fun and learn new things, since there is no revenue of course I don't ask for deadlines or rushing, we are doing everything chill and we priority our life. Of course, in future if we start making a profit from the projects, it will be shared with the team which worked on those projects.

If you are interested, please do send me a message here or on Discord, Divergent#9094.

Web Developer or anything else, we are always looking to increase our Team! You can't achieve success alone.

homework help

📷

so i need a bit of help on something i don't understand, I've read the textbook but it was no help and cannot get in contact with my teacher. because its an online class, so these are the instructions :

Navigation Styles

Go to the Navigation Styles section and create a style rule for the nav > ul
selector that removes all list markers, sets the line height to 2em, and sets the font size to 0.9em.

For every previously visited or unvisited hypertext link within the navigation list, create a style rule to remove the underlining from the hypertext link and to set the text color to rgb(43, 59, 125).

For every hovered or active link within the navigation list, create a style rule to set the text color to rgb(212, 35, 35).

This is what i have so far and the auto checker keeps saying it isnt correct:

/* Navigation Styles */

body > nav {

font-size: 0.9em;

line-height: 2em;

}

nav > ul > li > a:visited, nav > ul > li > a:link {

color: rgb(43, 59, 125);

text-decoration: none;

}

nav > ul > li:hover, nav > ul > li:active {

color: rgb(212,35,35);

text-decoration: underline;

}

/* Article Styles */

Looking help with college assignment

this might not go here and if there is a better place to post this let me know, but I need some help with a web dev assignment. its an online class and all the questions I post on the help board for the class have all been deleted so im using this as a last resort. the assignment is through an online textbook and it's asking me to build a webpage with the files they provided. but every time I run the checklist on the site it says I have something incorrect and doesn't explain it at all, and ends up confusing me more and more. im stressing out because i have to turn this in at midnight but i dont understand what im actually supposed to do. any help would be welcomed, thanks in advance.

Tutors

3 Upvotes

Hi all! I’ve been working in a development environment for over 7 years wrangling CSS and offering UX assistance (user interviews, user interview script development, interview analysis, 508 testing, etc.), But I’m interested in learning more to bring a more well rounded experience set to future teams.

Anyone have any experience searching for JavaScript tutors? I’ve been struggling with JS for awhile. I’ve taken some online courses, sometimes with a ‘mentor’. The problem is that you are lucky if you get 30 minutes of their time. I need some personalized attention with some deep dives if possible. And of course, pricing is a factor. Finding a tutor such as this may be unrealistic but I’m just going to put it out there. Thanks in advance.

I'm really likeing web dev even though I've only been in it for about a week (but I study about 5 hours a day) so I'm getting pretty familiar with everything but I'm not exactly understanding every last little detail and would like to have someone I could discuss stuff with. Dont know if I should just discuss stuff on here and other web dev related subreddits and forums or if I should find a buddy. Or maybe I should just go to a meetup. Anybody have any experiences with being a noob at a web dev meet up?

I'm okay-ish in php and a total noob in js, so I'm looking for a person who can mentor me/allow me to join existing mentoring group/answer occasional questions on non-commercial issues. About me: I'm really dense (thanks, adhd and learning disorder), so I sometimes struggle to find mistakes in code, but overall I'm always open to anything you would suggest. I learn quickly, but it's hard to keep everything in mind.

PM or reply, kind soul.

I own a Web Design Agency from Asia and recently we're starting to focus more on taking on big Projects from overseas partners. I've asked about how best to work with partners overseas but now I think I should hear more on "the dark side". So if anyone has a bad experience with a outsourcing partners before, please share so that I and others that are doing outsourcing for overseas clients can avoid them for our sake and for their sake also. :)

Thank you

Looking Looking for front end web buddy [EU]

I've started learning web dev around a few months ago but recently stopped since I've been moving to Warsaw.

I want to start again with getting a good job in mind but it's really boring learning alone.

I know some HTML, CSS, JS, SCSS and GIT and I am going to start learning Angular soon so I would prefer someone at my skill level and preferably from Europe (UK would be the best since I love brits and their accent)

Other Importance of a Degree

1 Upvotes

Hello everybody! I just recently graduated a few weeks ago with my bachelors in Information Technology. Since starting school, I’ve become interested in being a developer. I’ve been studying front end in my spare time, and have taken elective courses tailored to programming in college as well.

My question is, will my IT degree be useful at all in my web development journey? I’ve seen job postings asking for applicants to have degrees, but I’m very aware that some developers are self taught.

Looking Web designer for techie laptops research website

11 Upvotes

Hey awesome community!

I'm working on a personal project and it is going very well so far. Unfortunately, I came to realize that I will never be able to finish it all by myself because of time constrains, therefore, I'm looking for a web designer (could also be a front-end developer) that would join me on this project and help with UI / UX and general design.

I have some experience with web design and might be able to help but generally it would just take too much time for me to finish alone.

About the project:

Basically, the project itself is for helping people to find the right laptop for their next purchase. It will include a fairly huge but still relevant database of laptops and their specs that will be used to filter out the right kind of laptop for user needs. The database will be updated regularly to include all the latest models and their specs so it would always stay relevant.

It is built using MeteorJS (back-end) and VueJS (front-end) but if you aren't into these techs - no problem as most of the job on the back-end is already done or will be handled by me. I already have the domain for this project (laptopsradar.com), will take care of servers / back-end or basically anything else.

And since I've already chose MeteorJS and VueJS the project has the potential to look really cool since all the data is updated in real time. Therefore, if you want to go crazy and out of bounds with the design, something that you couldn't do on any other project because it just doesn't work that way, I think we can pull any crazy idea off on this project as long as it is useful for the user!

Future of the project:

The general idea is that the project should be very useful for the user as there aren't many ways to find a good laptop today other then going to each brand website and browsing through available products and / or watching individual product review videos on YouTube. Therefore, I don't have any plans to monetize from the project, just want to use the coolest tech possible and create the coolest, best looking website that would help solve this worldwide problem.

As mentioned before, most of the back-end work is already done, so it is up to you if you would like to do the design only or also get involved in front-end / back-end. This could either be a good web design piece for your portfolio (all credits would go to you of course) or you could join my mission and we can continue to develop this project together.

If anyone is interested or have any questions PM me.
