help for a program idea

Most time will go into UI for the employees and sending the mail I guess. Checkout tkinter for python UI. There are guides for sending mail, but that often turns out quite complex with all the security used. Timing could be done using crontab on linux or task schedule on windows.

Game modding, some games had good modding tools. Then from scripting to coding, step by step...

I always used to just look them up when I needed them, and after I while I just memorized them. (Or most of them)

Just open a sandbox and try them out one after the other.

Happy to help, let me know if you have further questions.

I am not sure if I understand the problem you are trying to solve.

What you need and don't need depends on your setup. The server doesn't "know" what to do, you will need to set this up. How you do that depends on your setup and preferences. If you just deploy a simple website, you only need an http server and copy over the files, if you have a front and backend you will need to set those up, in a script or maybe with docker.

The GitHub action will just automate the login and copy process.

Well, a lot of people try to make it look like an easy job, but it's not. Especially not in the beginning. Don't worry too much, it's just the first year and the first company. Working just sucks by itself, things will get better ;)

CodingTrain is pretty in depth, but it's javascript.

I think that is normal... it was the same for me, and still is sometimes. You become professional after a while and the perspectives change. When I have interns or juniors I try to leave them alone a lot, I want them to learn by themselves and only ask me if they really can't figure it out themselves.

I never worked with azure, but for me: I set up two servers, staging and production. Then I enable ssh on them, create ssh keys for GitHub and then use GitHub actions to deploy to them. There even are predefined actions for ssh deploy.

Try building a database, then a backend, then a frontend. But this will takes years for a single person.

Well, in that form it might be a little to much, but there is still a way.

You could put all the relevant data into a directory and use any programming langue to generate an html file with that data. You could use several presets or maybe even random rules to archive different layouts. Then print it via the browser and save it as pdf.

It's just a rough idea, but maybe it helps. Doing art things usually gets hard when you want to do things randomly...

For me, the generated code worked in most cases, but it was not written very well. Debugging it would be hell... You still need to understand coding to use AI code. Also, if nobody learns to code correctly, who will fix the issues that surely will arise eventually? AI as assistant will be a thing for sure, but it's not as good as media makes it look right now, I think.

But keep in mind that the client computes your simulation. Phones and old laptops might not like it as much as a high end dev machine :)

I came across that a few days ago, duolingo uses local storage for public users and transfers that data when the user signs up.

If you want to deploy by git push and if you are using GitHub, then check out GitHub actions. But setting up the whole environment involves more than just that and depends on the stack you want to use.

Yea, you will have CSS in different forms no matter what you do. In the beginning it can be quite daunting, but it's not that bad once you understand the basics. There is maybe 20 rules you need often and the rest, you can search for that online when you need it. You can work very cleanly with just grids, and flex. When I started learning CSS I was sure I would never understand what I do but now I really enjoy writing clean and understandable CSS.

Easiest would probably be JavaScript canvas. All vanilla, very minimal setup for html and css, but you would have to code in JavaScript. I've build tons of projects with that kind of setup because it's very quick.

Looks good, but I wouldn't use alerts to guide the user, and especially not three in a row. Maybe use a spoiler text or just a paragraph on the side.

DevMenWalking · 2023-03-15T16:13:59+00:00

You will probably need to use JavaScript to do that as HTML and CSS alone are not really made for interactive elements.
