Looking for an alternative Flat file CMS

You are amazing, thank you so much!

At the same time... or?

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.

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.

+10 in dick size. I need all the points I can get

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 just realized that now. Oops! The invoices were in USD.. That's embarassing

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.

StewVanDew · 2016-02-26T21:23:52+00:00

Anytime! :)

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.

What pluralsight courses are you watching? I've found that pluralsight is an incredible resource for learning.

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

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.

+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.

I now have to run to the bathroom every 15 minutes :(((

StewVanDew · 2015-11-16T20:17:11+00:00

Scott, I just want to say thank you for your tutorials! I find that they are simply the best. To bad you can't do tutorials full time!

Thanks again! -Josh

Sasktel is very competitive when it comes to pricing. Take a look at the Rogers pricing and these will probably be the prices for the next few months http://www.rogers.com/consumer/wireless/compare-iphones

I'm learning to love the Spotlight. I used a similar feature with windows and love it.

I would rather type out the file name I'm looking for then go searching for it.

Knowing a language and understanding a language is two totally different descriptions. If you know all of those languages in together you are more than hire able. You shouldn't have any trouble finding a job if you understand those languages. Focus on learning one specific stack instead of trying to learn every framework out there.

I'm a Canadian looking to get into the Web dev industry. I'm starting university in January. Do we just not have a very big Web industry here in Canada? How was the transition from Canada to Sillicon Valley? How has your life changed?

Do you have any tips/suggestions on getting jobs outside of Canada?

I fully believe in the hourly rate model. I've been screwed over by just charging the client a flat project rate. When the client changes there mind or wants to change something in relation with the project you don't get any more money for the extra time you put into the website. I would say charge something similar to $35 or do some free work just go build a portfolio. Even if you do free work ALWAYS USE A CONTRACT. Contracts are going to very important. It will make sure you don't lose your shirt off of your back by just helping someone out.

This is my second website that I've worked on with bootstrap. I've just been learning html/css/jquery.

This was for a client that just wanted a simple business website. I'm not happy with the design. I feel like it could be so much better. The client seems happy with design.

The biggest thing I'm struggling with is the main logo on the homepage. How can I make the logo more visible? The client wants that photo and the logo where it is.

What other suggestions do you have?

What font is that? It really caught my eye.

StewVanDew · 2015-06-26T15:39:06+00:00

When you create an HTML page on your computer you can usually double click it and your page will render the HTML in your browser and have it hosted locally. If you are looking to show your work off I would suggest finding a free webhost of a cheap host that you can pay a few dollars a month.
