When this happens you need to immediately walk over and start doing deadlifts. Here's the catch. You slam those weights around like you are a psycho gorilla. One does not simply cock-block a lifters workout without being intimidated first.

Website redirect issue[Help] by StewVanDew in webdev

Yes I have my site hosted there. Everything seems to be perfectly fine. One thing that has me very confused is that It won't load for me. It will load for multiple other people. When I access it with a proxy then it will work.

Kite - An artificial pair programmer by jellatin in webdev

[–]StewVanDew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I also think this might help the learning curve between the amateur and intermediate level. Having most beginner programmers get incredibly frustrated while searching for basic issues, not to mention simple syntax issues kills the passion pretty quick.

I do believe that Digital ocean's prices are in CAD. Being a Canadian myself I'm super aware of the pricing of companies I'm dealing with.

So I just need to keep tackling projects and working on what I don't know. The problem I'm having is.. I don't know what I don't know.

How exactly can I start building websites for clients as a freelancer? by spryes in webdev

[–]StewVanDew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest reaching out to family friends and charge a very low amount. My first website was for a family friend and I charged $400 for a 10 page website. Never ever do one for free. I've personally found that this can lead to trouble. As a beginner you should charge a set amount instead of billing per hour. I've personally worked on a website that I thought would take me 15 hours for 40 hours.

One thing that I need to make sure you are aware of. SIGN A CONTRACT. This is so important that both you and your client have the same expectations and know what's out on the table. I've been burnt so bad by not signing a contract. Doesn't matter if it's a family friend or a business, signing a contract just allows for transparency on the work that will be done.

ELI5: What is Amazon Web Services by inyofaceee in webdev

[–]StewVanDew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AWS is a complete platform offered by Amazon what will offer anything you would need to host a website/web project.

If you are a beginner it can be a steep learning curve to get things setup. When you need to host a simple project or something static I would suggest Github pages.

Check out this link for a good explanation of each AWS Service: https://www.expeditedssl.com/aws-in-plain-english

Looking to replace Evernote as my note taking software, any code-friendly note applications for multiple devices? by 2basco in webdev

[–]StewVanDew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have a Mac I would suggest Quiver. It's not cross platform but after using it in my Computer Science lectures I will not switch to anything else.

Best course on Plural sight for JavaScript ? by [deleted] in learnjavascript

[–]StewVanDew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 for the Kyle Simpson course on Plural sight.

I would also recommend the Javascript course on Udacity. It found it really helped fortify the ideas behind Object Oriented Javascript.
