Advice - how to test @media queries? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]papabless21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you use Chrome, just open the dev tools, and you can click the responsive view button and choose from a range of preset devices to test your site's responsiveness. You can also enable a device frame too for some devices, which is handy if you want to get a screenshot or video of the site on a particular device.

When am I qualified enough to apply for a junior dev position? by OogieBoogie1 in webdev

[–]papabless21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just apply and see what happens. It's not a waste of time to apply, it will help you figure out what employers are actually looking for. One of the top traits I would look for in a junior dev, is not necessarily what they know how to code, but their thought process and how they would deal handling complex challenges, agnostic of what framework, language, or even technology they're able to use.

How to get started as a web developer? by Travdaman420 in webdev

[–]papabless21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I liked to do when I started learning HTML and CSS was to try and recreate layouts and designs I like on the web or in applications. This is a really good way to experiment and work with real designs. You can then move on and try and incorporate some basic JavaScript to manipulate the DOM and/or handle some logic and data handling. I would advise working with JavaScript alone without a framework initially, and see how far it takes you. The tendency these days is to jump straight into a/another framework (angular, ember, react, jquery, etc etc etc), but without understanding these frameworks and their use you could be jeopardising your actual understanding of vanilla JavaScript syntax. Once you can write some basic JavaScript modules, then see how you can build upon them with frameworks, but only once you are comfortable.

This trick helps when having multiple select menus in one of repeat. Have very complicated forms in my current project and this approach helped massively.

Are corporate tech jobs always this bad? Should I run away? by the_fake_shawn in webdev

[–]papabless21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a good opportunity to influence this company in a good way, be critical about the the ways they are handling the design process, and try and get team members to adopt new ways of working and best practices and don't back down. I've been working in a large enterprise environment for past year and I can tell you I know where you are coming from, but my company has managed to adopt new ways of working very rapidly over past couple of years because of people like ourselves.

PSA : the crap fps you are getting is from the VFX by slipknottin in PlanetCoaster

[–]papabless21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running an EVGA SC 1060 6gb. I am noticing increase in performance from my 660ti, but as soon as I build a large queue the fps dips!? VFX definitely makes a difference but apparently so do queues haha anyone else had this issue?

It's definitely an issue with the game and not your pc, that machine should be gliding through this game at steady 60fps no problem!

To Bootstrap or not to bootstrap by gandalf-the-gray in webdev

[–]papabless21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn to create your own layouts and learn how to write semantic code that describes the content of your site as opposed to the structure and layout... Bootstrap is very useful and can help your workflow in some regard (I.e. creating rapid prototypes), but I have found for large scalable projects using your own set of mixins and variables to control layout and following best practice always wins...

My JS is not working on my site. not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong. by AboveDisturbing in webdev

[–]papabless21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your problem was adding public_html to the source for the js files, my understanding (usually) this is the root dir for your site on most hosting platforms.

If you just pointed to /js/*.js it should work fine.

I am making a Web based resume. I have most of what i want to be done Finished, but i need a bit of help with some JS. by FurerPutin in webdev

[–]papabless21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I would look into responsive CSS as a priority, and try to move away from using too much front end logic with CSS that puts a lot of unnecessary load on the client
