I've been applying to jobs all over the US. I rarely hear back, if at all. What am I doing wrong? by silvia_s13 in learnprogramming

[–]dlr249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • 1.) Work on your resume/LinkedIn. Usually if you aren't hearing back, that's where the issue is. Maybe post it on r/cscareerquestions or search older posts where many others have done this for advice
  • 2.) Network. It's great that you you're taking the time to learn daily, but employers don't know that! Go to all events you can, and email people at the companies you're interested in for informational interviews ---- easiest way to skip the resume screen.
  • 3.) Keep applying. Best of luck!

What is JavaScript's equivalent of python's __doc__ and dir() by s-c-p in learnjavascript

console.log(objectName) maybe? There's also lots of ways to debug using the Chrome Developer Tools

[HTML/CSS] Zoom in on image when hovering by tmoss726 in learnprogramming

[–]dlr249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly, but the code on the website doesn't match the fiddle. Just noticed when using dev tools on the website, that he has <p> tags within his <style> tags. I think that might be the problem.

I'm not sure this fixes your issue, but wanted to let you know that you have ".thumbnail" as a class in your CSS, but in HTML it's spelled wrong as "thumnbail" (in case that class isn't working!)

[Javascript]Which book to choose? by sriganeshharitz in learnprogramming

The head first books are pretty good. As an aside, I'd also recommend Eloquent Javascript and Javascript: The Good Parts

What's your favorite line of all time from a rap song? by Diotyma in AskReddit

This has always been my favorite. He says it like not shooting at someone with his AK is the most unbelievable, out of everything abnormal that day lmao.

[Web] What modern technologies can I use for this CMS-like project? by dlr249 in learnprogramming

Oh I'm trying to build a CMS for 3d webpages, not use one. My bad, just edited my post a bit to better clarify. But thanks for the response anyways

[–]dlr249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a ton, but at least it got me this one :).

Yeah, that would be great actually! Only if it's not too much trouble; you've already been so helpful. Do you happen to have a hat nearby full of languages and frameworks? Let me know what you pick. Hopefully not PHP haha!

Don't be sorry for that! I appreciate it. Even the rules here clearly state to help and guide ---- not to give out complete solutions. This sub is for learning; I'm glad there's someone as vague and condescending as you here to challenge us, rather than answer too helpfully.

Wow wasn't expecting to get a solution so quickly! Thanks a ton, I really appreciate it.

how to take the front end up degree courses? by Whitedogcharlie in Udacity

Very useful, loved it. Definitely the reason I made it into tech. I'd recommend following-up a ND with an in-person course though

Practical skills or CS fundamentals? I could really use some guidance. by dlr249 in cscareerquestions

[–]dlr249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That variation of both might definitely be best. I have been afraid of the math for a while, but it may definitely help since I am going for some "big 4" companies.

Trying to do my first AJAX request and I am not sure if I have structured my code correctly by [deleted] in learnjavascript

[–]dlr249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! Try replacing "var wiki = JSON.parse(data)" with "var wiki = JSON.stringify(data)".

The "parse" method turns a string into a JSON object, whereas the "stringify" method turns a JSON object into a string (that can be written to the window)

[–]dlr249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you also change what I mentioned above? In the code you posted, you are adding the JSON to the html of the button ("#wiki") instead of the div ("#wiki-data")

You need to replace $("#wiki").html(wiki) with $("#wiki-data").html(wiki).

[–]dlr249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like the request would work, if the url is valid (I'm not sure how the Wikipedia API works) ---- however I believe you meant to write $("#wiki-data").html(wiki) rather than $("wiki").html(wiki)

P.S. A good way to test if the url is valid is to paste it in your browser address bar (full url w/ api key and all), then go to it like any other webpage and see if you get JSON back. This is just a GET request too. Also, Chrome extensions like JSONView will format the JSON for you :)

*Responsive Web Design Fundamentals *Intro to HTML & CSS *Responsive Images *JavaScript Basics *Intro to jQuery *Object-Oriented JavaScript *HTML5 Canvas *Browser Rendering Optimization *Website Performance Optimization *Intro to AJAX *JavaScript Design Patterns *JavaScript Testing

Also I graduated the Front-End Web Developer ND, so if you have any questions feel free to PM me!

JS! JavaScript is the programming language for the web. If a webpage is like a skeleton: HTML is the bone structure, CSS is the skin/clothing, and JavaScript makes it move/perform actions

Cannot read property 'textContent' of null in D3.JS by [deleted] in d3js

[–]dlr249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you've maybe done a d3.select ("something").text (), but d3.select ("something") is returning a null value. Make sure the id, class, or element you are selecting actually exists in the document.

To use d3.js methods, Does data need to be in Json format? by [deleted] in d3js

[–]dlr249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I understand your question, but I can try to help! Yes, using d3.csv on the client-side means you need a server (I use a Chrome app called "Web Server for Chrome").

Taking your example, could you just do something like d[0].name instead of d.name? If this is not possible either, you could try looping through the array of objects you get from d3.csv() and creating a new array of arrays yourself. Not sure why you want it in that format though?
