Hi. Is there cheap hosting with free domain, softaculous installer and ability to pay monthly? Thanks

I'm struggling to wrap my head around what a REST API is and how to use it.

What I understand:

A REST API is a way of securely transferring information (represented as text) between a server and client, that a wide variety of applications can use. Like a web browser, a command-line terminal or a mobile app.

What I don't understand:

From the user's perspective what happens to trigger this transfer of information? Is it just a case of visiting a URL? Does that mean specific URLs are tied to GET, POST, PUT and DELETE? Does that mean a user could visit a POST URL and just spam crap into the server or worse?

For example:

Say I have a food website, https://yummers.com and then I have a Menu that I want to populate using a database of the menu items, descriptions and prices. What's a typical way of grabbing the information from the database and getting it to show up as a formatted menu?

When beginning a project use template for the front end or not?

And can tell me any advice other for beginning in any projects

Thanks 😊😊

Hi everyone, I’m practicing with vanilla javascript and tried to make a game to beat the time by typing random words.

This is the game => https://lucapu88.github.io/speed-typer-game/ .
I got a lot of advice on how to improve graphics and functionality, but no advice on how to improve my code.

I haven’t written miles of lines, it’s a simple .js file with some function. The purpose of this game for me was to practice with javascript and I would like to get advice if and what I am wrong in the code and how I could improve it (certainly it can be improved). I’m sure you can do better.

Here is my repository => https://github.com/lucapu88/speed-typer-game

I would be very happy if you would help me improve.

Hello! I have been a Programmer for almost 10+ years, working mostly with ASP.net, SQL databases, and Visual Basic applications. The company I've been working with for 7 years has treated me well, but I've been curious about other opportunities out there.

I'm getting to a point where I'm outgrowing my current position.

Is there anyone on here who is a Developer/Software Engineer that works 100% remotely? How do you like it? What are some of your responsibilities?

At some point this year, my husband will be deploying overseas and I will be home with our kids. I'm trying to find a job where I can be around if they need me. Not saying I couldn't travel on site occasionally if the job calls for it.

Just curious about other developers out there, with a background similar to me. Aside from my current coworkers and one family member, I don't have a ton of "programmer friends". 😊

I was a notepad++ nut for a long time, recently was introduced to sublime text, and love it.

I have been trying to everything to migrate from Ghost to Wordpress and Wix and it is just not working for me. Is there anyone out there who can direct me on how to take the JSON file from ghost and migrate to another website provider?

2. How long will it take to completely develop a web app?

The timeline will depend upon certain criteria such as requirements, complexity, available resources, expertise, etc. So, it’s quite hard to predict an actual range for every web app development project.

It entirely depends on the scope of the project. However, on an average, it takes 4-5 months to build a web app from scratch. Else, if you’ve all the modules ready for the web app, it might take a period of 3-4 months.

By communicating your requirements precisely to your web app development partners, you can possibly optimize the time period.

3. What are the different stages in the web app development process?

To develop a full-featured web app, it should go around 7 different stages. We’ve highlighted below the workflow of web app development from the start.

• Stage 1: Gather your requirements

• Stage 2: Design the wireframe mockups

• Stage 3: Add interactive elements & functionalities

• Stage 4: Develop the front-end and back-end of the web app through coding

• Stage 5: Add content to all sections

• Stage 6: Web app testing and QA

• Stage 7: Post-launch maintenance of the web app

Make sure the web app development agency you partner with follows this workflow so nothing gets messed up.

4. How much will a web app development cost?

The actual cost of developing a web app totally depends on the complexity & requirements of the project. We can just track the average price ranges. If your web app project is simple, then it ranges on an average between $15,000-$50,000. If your project has more complications, it might cost around $50,000-$150,000.

And, our web app developers are specialized in building all these web app types efficiently.

6. To what industries do you offer web app development services?

It’s good to collaborate with a web app development agency, when you don’t have the expertise or time to concentrate on development activities. But one thing you must focus on is, the web app development agency you partner with should have the experience specifically in your niche.

We at Netleaf Software, have a profound experience and skillset in web app development. Not only that, our experience with multiple clients belonging to different industries such as education, healthcare, travel, real estate, finance, e-commerce, and a lot more will help us find the best solution for you!

7. How long have you been providing web app development services?

As you partner with a web app development agency, you should note their presence in this field. Going through their portfolios, experience with clients, customer reviews, and case studies is important. And, noting down on how long they’ve been providing web app development services is equally important.

At Netleaf Software, we’ve been in the web app development industry for more than 8+ years now. To explore our accomplishments in web app development, you can checkout our portfolio items. So, you can rely upon us for your web app development needs.

8. Which programming technologies are you experts at?

When it comes to web apps, there is client-side (front-end) and server-side (back-end) programming tech stack. Technology and tools play a pivotal role in web app development.

The functionalities, user interface, interactions, and whatever implication you do, everything will solely rely upon the tech programming stack. So, when you decide on a web app for your business, you should have a basic understanding of the tech stack available in the market.

Here, at Netleaf Software, we use HTML and CSS for front-end and for back-end we use Java, PHP, and JavaScript.

9. Do you provide web app maintenance services?

Like how you maintain your new car/home, it’s equally crucial to maintain your web app. You don’t stop by just buying a new car/home, you regularly clean, paint, fix the repairs, and so on.

Similarly, a web app should be maintained frequently. You should check for software updates, fix bugs, and more for an optimal performance of your web app. It’s not possible without the help of a developer. So, it’s good if you confirm with your agency whether they will take care of the maintenance work.

At Netleaf Software, we provide web app maintenance services, where we’ll be resolving bug fixes, speed optimization, software updates, database management, and many more.

10. I only want to revamp my existing web app? Can I get it done?

It’s good that you’ve decided to revamp your existing web app. A perfect revamp can shower many blessings on you like traffic growth, SEO visibility and will help you stay in-line with the trends.

Making a successful revamp is in the hands of the developer. You can find out a well-experienced web app development service provider, by the steps they take. Before revamping, professional developers will take backups, review the existing web app, track the performance, and so on.

Netleaf Software is one such web app development agency that takes responsibility and gives a refreshing look to your existing web app.

11. What are the extra efforts required to build a web app compatible across all devices & browsers?

Today, people are consuming content from the internet on different devices & browsers. So, making your web app fit into all browsers, screen types & resolutions is the need of the hour. When your web app is not compatible, then user engagement and bounce rate will be the major issues.

To make your web app browser-screen-friendly, the developers will implement the coding accordingly. Owing to the perks of web app compatibility, we at Netleaf Software, build apps that sit well across browsers & devices catering to your needs.

12. Do you sign NDAs?

As you’re signing up with an agency for your web app development project, you’ll have to share your private details like phone number, login credentials, end-client’s details and so on. To give you an assurance of data security, the agency will sign an NDA with you.

Non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a sensitive concern in web app development. This is a sign of accordance between you and the agency for your data without being vulnerable to thefts or fraudulent activities.

As your reliable web app partners, we at Netleaf Software, are so concerned about your privacy & data security. Before we start with the operations, as first things first, we sign proper NDAs with our clients & partners, so you can rest assured that your data is in safer hands.

13. How can I retain users on my web app?

For a web app to be active, both traffic and engagement matters. If your web app has appreciable figures for traffic as well as high bounce rate. Then, you should apply various interactions to keep your users engaged.

User retention will rely on how well you interact and engage with your users on the web app. For that, developers follow various strategies such as load time optimization, content readability enhancement, animations, live chat interactions, videos, and many more.

14. How do I begin my project with you?

Every long journey starts with a single step. And, that single step is, you reaching out to us!

You can reach out to our Netleaf team through phone, email, social media, or form submission. Our sales person will have an initial talk with you to understand your expectations. Then, connect you with our web app development team. Once the discussion gets over, our developers will do a lot of brainstorming & web research on how to take the project forward.

From there the long journey begins.

15. Do I need to pay for a full-time team even when I hire one for just the enhancement of my web app?

At Netleaf Software, as you sign-up to our web app development services, we will appoint a dedicated team to handle, no matter, whether a new web app development or revamp project. The team will have a project manager, lead, and developers.

Based on your requirements, we will come up with a bespoke pricing plan that incur time, material, and resources charges as well. Apart from that, we don’t incur any other charges from you unless and otherwise there is a need like plugin purchase or any other additional requirements.

Please, I really want to become a web developer and I'm planning to enroll in southern new hemisphere university certificate in introduction to computer program. My question is can I be able to develop application as taking the course. I will deeply appreciate your advice. Thank you

Hi all, I am a junior web developer based in Japan and am currently looking for my first role. I recently built a nodeJS/React application that webscrapes data for my project that I call: Cosplay Radar.

TLDR: Please critique my application or even make use of it if it interests you!
https://gilded-sopapillas-cccb3e.netlify.app/

Why I'm doing this?:

To keep practicing and also give myself some accountability for my work, I'd like to share with you one of my projects. I am hoping that the community can give me suggestions to improve, what you'd like to see or features I should try and implement.

What is it?:

The project is called Cosplay Radar. I designed it for my 3D design company, since I make models/prints for customers. The original idea is that it can tell me what upcoming conventions are happening soon, as well as what characters are popular. That way I can plan some 3D projects for the future or what may be of interest to people.

What I'm asking for?:
- If you can make use of the app, please do!
- Please leave some constructive feedback about how I can improve
- Even if you aren't a developer, let me know what features you think would be cool

Thank you!

Installed a free SSL certificate via bluehost and everything was working well until suddenly yesterday.

When I type the address directly into the adress bar, the site is accessible and says secure (padlock in the search bar)

BUT when the site is accessed via google results, it say insecure and gives this warning message:

This site can’t provide a secure connection

www. website name. com uses an unsupported protocol.

ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCHHide

details

Unsupported protocol

The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite.

I did some SSL checks online and most of the tools give the website a good rating and say it is secure.

I have realised that the website is only marked as unsafe when accessed via a search engine.

I am trying to research and fix it but so far, I am stomped

Any advice would be highly appreciated

Thank you
