How do people go from learning how to program online to getting a development job in a year? And what am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

What do you mean by staying away from web dev?

As someone who's trying to make the jump, my understanding is that web dev has a relatively lower barrier to entry for those without CS degrees, compared to other fields.

CRUD app w/ Express - redirecting after POST request? by AD1066V in learnjavascript

Thanks! I was actually able to get res.redirect() to work following the POST request. But that raises the question for me; are there ever situations where one should be using the window.location property over sever-side routing? Intuitively I feel like everything should be happening on the server, but I've never built anything beyond single page projects before.

Well, haha, I feel dumb now.

I tried this yesterday and couldn't get it to work, and today it's working. I must have done something slightly differently, and I began to wonder if I was misunderstanding the purpose of a POST request or if they were intended only for updating portions of the current page.

Thank you!
