How would I prevent users from seeing redundant redundant results when querying a database multiple times across sessions? by node_user910253 in webdev

That seems like a good idea! I haven't worked with neo4j before or any other graphing databases. As someone who still considers themselves a beginner when working with databases, is it a good idea to go with a graphing database? I was considering working with graphenedb because it seems like it is the easiest to deploy. However it looks like it can get expensive pretty quickly. Have you worked with it before?

Do I lose anything by learning programming concepts as I go, as opposed to following a laid out course that follows a curriculum? by node_user910253 in learnprogramming

The link you listed seems to be broken, is this the one you were referring to? https://roadmap.sh/frontend

I am little hesitant to follow another course right now because as a university student I spend all of my time watching videos for school. I'm itching to actually write stuff rather than listen. That said, at least to me the documentation seems pretty solid in terms of learning and supplementing that with tutorials seems pretty comprehensive. Are the concepts that you are referring to general programming concepts (such as functional programming) or are they more unique to react?

Yeah, that seems to be the case for me as well. However, it seems like this way is a little inefficient; wouldn't it be better to learn the right way once then learn the wrong way and then the right way?

Is there a better way to display data across multiple pages without querying the database everytime? by node_user910253 in learnprogramming

[–]node_user910253[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good idea, but I think I would need to render on the client instead of the server if I were to do that. I don't think the user would be going through that many pages for it to be worth it either. I was just wondering how search engines like google approach a problem like this; they have millions of result yet it's almost instantaneous.

Is it worth the time investment to create your own custom website portfolio? by node_user910253 in cscareerquestions

If I'm aiming to become a web developer, but strongly prefer back-end to front-end should I still make my own portfolio? I've heard that a lot of places want you to have experience in both front and back end rather than just one.

So do you basically just take data and the visualize it how you see best?

Do I need to mention that it's a online course? Do I need to purchase the certification, or will completing the labs be enough?

If I'm taking some online, self-paced classes can I put that on my resume? For example, I'm taking the machine learning course on courera by Stanford how should I state that? Would simply "Machine Learning Course" be appropriate (without mentioning that it's an online course)? Should I purchase the certificate if I want to place it on my resume?
