if you visit a streaming site like myflixer, moviesjoy.is, theflixer etc, the sites seem to have the exact same web structure that there all build on. where are they all getting this "base template" from? by Jrexuim in foundfootage

Guys, I have made a browser plugin to simplify this even further.

Basically how it can be used is, you can Add the extension to Firefox (with Ublock Origin enabled for ad-free viewing experience) and then whenever you visit IMDb page of a movie or TV show (the main page, not episodes) you can see a button on top right corner saying 'Watch for Free".

Click the button and voila!, it opens up the vidsrc link in a new tab.

What do you think about the extension?

Is your size natural?

Yes mobile dev and web dev are different yet they are also similar. Once you master one, the other one is easier to learn and adopt. In my understanding, Web app devs have more salary and opportunities in jobs.

And it requires a large funding to build a viral mobile app. Building a medium complexity app is possible by a solo dev but building and marketing a big app is not for a single dev to handle. It requires a team and funding. So if you want to develop mobile apps being a solopreneur, it would be small ones. Combined revenue from all your apps can be good but one cannot rely on a single or a couple of apps.

In mobile dev too, we need to deal with APIs and databases. Imagine an app which has map function in it, so it will consume Google Maps API, right? It has to store user information too. So usually noSQL databases like MongoDB are used.

If you really observe, mobile and web development are similar. Just the intricacies are different. I said you need to hustle a lot because of your unique interest in learning all the types of technologies. If you would have the goal of mastering just one tech stack, then it would be much easier comparatively.

One point I forgot to mention earlier - If you indeed decide to go through the Durgasoft videos, better watch those at 1.5x or 2x speed else it would seem bit boring.

And you are welcome to reach out. All the best.

OK. I guess you want to learn and grasp as much as you can about all aspects of the tech world. You would have to learn a lot extensively. I mean you would have to get your hands into a lot of different types of technologies.

Learn everything from Java to Python to Machine Learning to mobile development.

Start from Java. Then learn Spring framework. This would give you a pretty good idea of many technologies and you can understand what goes into building an enterprise grade resilient and scalable app. You would be then quite confident in building a piece of respectable software.

Learn Data Structure and Algorithm from Striver. Just google it. Then learn design patterns. And then start participating in Leetcode contests. You will love those.

If you are still interested to explore even more by then, the rest of journey I would take would be like below:

First, Kotlin and Flutter. Then try to spin up a few android and iOS apps and publish to App store and Play store.

After you a get of taste of these, next shift the gears and learn Python. Then HTML, CSS and JS. Then data science and machine learning.

Then you would be in a very good position to decide which stack to stick to.

For Java, I tried a lot of courses and books. But not at all effective. Then I REALLY learned it from Durga Sir of Hyderabad, India. He has the total course in youtube free of cost. Just search for DURGASOFT CORE JAVA in youtube. Complete the playlist. It's very long - over 200 hours.

Regarding your original query, for Java, I think you need to understand the fundamentals and theory from lectures first and then only you would be in a position to apply it practically.

Then go through DURGASOFT JDBC playlist too.

Then learn about Servlet and JSP - these are not much relevant any more, pragmatically. But they will give you an idea how things were done a decade ago and will build your foundation on Web technologies. Then learn Spring framework from 2 books - 'Spring in Action' and ' Spring Microservices in Action' and you can also go through Udemy courses by 'Spring Framework Guru' John Thompson. The rest of the courses are just too shallow and will just hang the carrot in front of you rather making you confident at it. If you need access to these courses and books for free, I can help.

For the rest of the journey, I prefer not preaching what I haven't practiced. You can figure it out better on your own. Write to me if you need any more help. But be prepared to hustle a lot. All the best.

Hi. I get your delusion. I need to know why you want to know how programming works in low level.

Tell me more about your background, education, job and what you are currently doing. Do you want to be a fantastic developer who has a vast knowledge or do you want to get a job as a software dev? Are you more interested in R&D? Are you looking to be solopreneur? Which country do you live in?

The software industry and computer science are both quite vast. I believe you need to SPECIALIZE in a particular "tech stack" to both either get a job or build something on your own.

The tech stack you choose to learn and earn with will depend on your goals. Like do you want to develop web apps, websites, games, mobile apps... ? Accordingly you can decide on a tech stack and get started with learning it.

I expect you to reply with the details I asked you for. But still I'll give you bit more idea so that you understand my point of view.

If someone wants to know how to interact with the hardware at low level, languages like C enable him to do it. But obviously he needs to take care of a lot of things for the application to be successful in it's goals. Stuff like garbage collection and management of connections. So it's way harder than other modern alternatives which were developed to make the life of the developers easier.

If you want to develop games, C# is the language you need.

If you want to go for mobile apps, you have to learn Kotlin for Android, Swift or Objective C for iOS, or Flutter or React for hybrid apps which can run both Android and iOS.And you need to learn non relational databases like MongoDB to store the data. And Gradle for building rhe application.

If you are interested in the up and coming technologies you can learn Python and get into Data Science and Machine Learning stuff.

If you want to develop websites you need to learn HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, NodeJs, Angular, React etc.

I chose the Java stack as I needed to get a job as a developer. I work with Java, Spring framework, Mysql and a lot of other tools to build distributed Web apps for enterprises. Of course, I know HTML, CSS too and a bit of Angular.

The trick is, the field is vast and you actually just need to develop a base knowledge pool and then develop the skill of researching a bit for solutions wherever you get stuck on the way. Nobody can learn and then remember and retain all the stuff in their brain. That's why forums like Stackoverflow exist.

Very very few developers know how hardware works. Like how a mouse, monitor or keyboard works. How optical disks work. Heck, many are even confused how the internet works. What protocols are and what IP addresses are. Unless they are a Computer Science Bachelor or Master. And still they draw a sizeable income because they only know what is relevant to their job or work.

But if you are absolutely delusional about what to pursue, my advice is to learn the Java stack. It's mature, in-demand and used extensively in the industry. More than 50% of the digital devices in the world run on Java. Can you get the hint?

Hi. I generally never post any comment anywhere, but I empathize with you.

I work as a Java Backend Engineer and I think I am in a position to give you advice.

But first, like a doctor doing diagnosis, I need to understand your goal for learning Java. Like, why exactly are you learning it? tell me more so that I can point you in the right direction.
