#Open Source Web Development

[wojenka]

i need more mutuals who are into coding and engineering!! more info under the cut!!

I planned to become an electrical engineer like my stepdad but then I decided to change my path to programming. I'm currently studying at technikum (<- wikipedia link so I don't have to explain the whole polish learning system), programmer major.

this year I have exams from web development (10th Jan - theory, 16th Jan - practical exams) and next year I have exams from App development (both mobile and desktop).

I know C family languages, Java, Python and those ones I am currently using. I also know a bit of Kotlin and I think I will continue learning it.

For web dev I know HTML and CSS ofc but also PHP and JS.

Planning on learning more languages I can use for App and operating system development as well as just to know them cause I want to after this year's exams!

my learning list:

Lua (I heard it's easy but I can't really get myself to read anything about this atm idk why)

Ruby

Assembly

Rust

As for electrical engineering I don't know much tbh but I would like to learn! I just used CAD programs for technical drawings (dad taught me some basic things when I was still thinking about going his path) helped my dad fix things on his Solar farm, houses of our neighbors and I made a few very simple circuits for fun a few years ago. Now I'm mostly focused on programming but since I learned most of the things I need for exams I have more time to do whatever I want now!

I'd like to get to know more people so I can share and mostly learn new things since even though I'm coding for years I consider myself a beginner and I am a total beginner when it comes to electrical engineering.

I'm willing to be friends or at least mutuals with anyone who codes or makes websites or is in STEM! no matter what your specialty/interest is exactly and no matter if you are a total beginner or a professional ^__^

I'd also like to have some mutuals who are into old web development and retro computing!!!!!!!!

edit: I forgot but I'm also interested in physics and quantum physics

The Quiz App: Final.

Hello everyone, If you follow me or happen to have seen the post I made on the 21st of August (this post precisely) I casually made a request because I was tired of coding alone(still am 😆) and people showed interest starting with @xiacodes. Immediately- We talked about what we wanted to do causally and it ended up being "The Quiz App", We had a few calls on the Codeblr Discord to decide what we wanted to do and where we would stop, with @lazar-codes joining us later on to contribute. We digressed a bit and talked about other things lol but you get it.

Active Contributors

@xiacodes did 99% of the styling (she really loves styling) and it turned it great.

@lazar-codes suggested Trello(a task-management system) which we use to organize tasks and check progress.

I did the documentation, helped with the quiz-app logic, and theme mode and I was generally just all over the place offering help here and there, also being a sponge absorbing all the new pieces of information. 🤩🤩 Today, I merged the testing branch with the master branch, bringing an end to an experience that I want to cherish forever.

(I clearly suck at Geography lol) ⚠⚠⚠ I also want to take this opportunity to encourage Web Developers + programmers to contribute to open-source projects: It's one of the best ways to learn from other people, share ideas and put your Git knowledge into practice. Check out The Quiz App here The Quiz App (mmnldm.github.io) Special Shout-Out to @a-fox-studies Your presence is always appreciated!

Meanwhile on WordPress...

On another note, Matt Mullenweg is a greedy ass motherfucker who is putting nearly 43% of the Internet at risk.

Working on putting together a music server application for my personal use (basically, you have your music storage on a local server, and you can access it via a music application from any device on your network, essentially -- Plex if it didn't suck ass for music), and I'm pretty heavily considering whether this might be a good fit for kickstarter...

Pins for programmers, geeks, and compsci nerds

You Had Me At Hello World

"Hello World" is a really old tradition, by tech standards--the Jargon File dates it back to the classic C/Unix days. It's the first test message you print to standard output when you're learning a new programming language.

These days, you might also throw a "Hello World" in a <p> element real quick when you're checking whether your new website's DNS has propagated or your WordPress install is displaying posts cleanly. Maybe it's even what you write in a sample doc when you want to make sure your printer's hooked up right. Basically, it's the minimalist Lorem Ipsum of the programmer world.

And now it's a pin. For fashion. Geeky, geeky fashion.

Progress Incremented

The ++ symbol (aka the incrementor) is often used to express approval or "good job!" in coding circles. Get this pin to celebrate your progress.

Magic / More Magic

The Magic / More Magic Switch is a reference to a piece of obscure old-school hacker lore. Some geek long ago (in the PDP-10 era!) managed to make a switch that, in theory, really shouldn't have been able to do anything, but because of a fluke of electrical engineering it'd crash the computer if you flipped it from "more magic" to just "magic."

Fortunately, the switch on the pin will stay on "more magic" forever, because that's how it's drawn. An excellent good-luck charm for your favorite computer engineer.

Inadvisably Applied JS

JavaScript (derogatory) -- but that doesn't mean we'll stop reaching for it to do... probably too much, from little bits of swoopy animations on a website's front end to whatever random thing you need to hack together with a scripting language real quick.

The design is very human. Is it scalable? No. Is it maintainable? No. Is it portable? ...Not really. But at least the pin is! Get it here.

personal nitpick completely unrelated to the winrar vulnerability itself, but.

the way this person wrote this pisses me off (probably more than it should), theres hundreds of reasons why a developer wouldnt want to implement self-updating in software, especially since implementing connecting to the internet to auto-install updates could open it up to even more potential security holes, plus it just sucks to develop. my web browser of choice, librewolf (a fork of firefox,) excludes self-updating and requires manual updates (or updates from a package manager) for these sorts of reasons. put your big boy pants on and manually download updates from developers websites and shut up

anyway. regarding winrar specifically just use 7zip instead, its free and open source, back when i used windows it served me well.

it does use unrar code to support decompressing rar archives but from what ive read the vulnerability in winrar shouldnt affect 7zip or any other programs using unrar, only winrar itself

No bug is too old, no coder is too young ...

I’m just gonna toss this out there.

I’m going to make a little command line utility that is essentially an HTML shorthand. Given a source file or files, it will create property formatted static HTML documents.

I’ve already made a script like this to help with a project’s website; I’m just expanding on that idea with this new program.

The thing is, I’m wondering if anyone else would find such a thing useful or not. This might be too niche to be useful.

On the other hand, there’s nothing stopping me from releasing it as an open source tool, and it should work on any operating system supported by Free Pascal.

I’m also aware of Haml, which is an open source tool that does roughly the same thing but not in the way I’d like to do it.

Anyone have an opinion about this?

i made a tutorial / article about the basic, core concepts of Git and using GitHub for novice devs who are total version control beginners!

https://dev.to/dopreo/okay-but-what-the-hell-is-a-git-22ne

i'd really appreciate it if you checked it out; even if you're already familiar with git, i'd love to hear your feedback :))

also, if you're not familiar with git at all, or even software dev in general, i'd especially love to hear your feedback!! is there anything i could maybe explain better or reword? <3

thank you all who decide to take a peek :D

Excited to have my first post here be a first release of a new project. I just did a writeup about it on my website and on dev.to, but I'll go over the basics here. PostPilot is a local mail testing application inspired by a similar offering from Laravel Herd. It's a cross platform GUI that can help your development workflow by making email sending a receiving a lot easier locally. It's free and open source too! Go give it a star if you're interested over on Github!
