What's a fair rate range to charge as a Junior Web Developer? If you're interested in why the hell I'm asking, I'm going to try out Upwork despite knowing it's a mostly bad idea.

Thinking of learning node.js. I have experience in front-end development and PHP but lots of people are raving about node. Anyone know any good blogs or tutorials as a starting point?

So I am an ok programmer and I've always wanted to collaborate on open source projects. I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?

This has probably been asked before here - but how does a developer leave a day job to start working freelance full time?

I've worked on projects in my own time on and off during the short 4 or 5 years of my career so far and I've always considered doing it, but how do people make that jump? How do you start working for yourself and how do you secure clients?

Yo. Anyone have some GitHub projects I can contribute for hacktoberfest

I took you guys' advice and posted my first dev blog today. I finally understand now what people meant when they said they learned the topics they wrote about much more deeply! 😃

Has anyone tried Shapr app to meet new ppl / expand professional network / heck, make new friends?

I'm thinking of giving it a go once I'm in a bigger city (Toronto)

Anyone has advice for android app monetization? I hear you can make more with a third party, plus, you don't make any money unless they uses taps the ad? What would you go with?

Looking for help starting with DevOps.

Does anyone know of a site or forum where you can talk about general coding/scripting patterns rather than just asking specific questions?

Bear with me, this may be a bit longer than most posts here.

I'm a self-taught admin/tech working with one colleague (who's also mostly self taught) at a high school, managing both clients and servers.
We've been doing most things manually bit I'm looking into converting as much work as possible into more of a DevOps setup, with Powershell-scripts for multi step tasks.
I want to do this for a number of reasons. Having a script doing a number of steps would cut down on time spent on individual tasks and minimize the risk that a step is missed or, perhaps even worse, mistyped. Also it's important that I actually learn what I'm doing, why something works and why something fails.

As and example, I have a powershell-script which moves a student from one year to another (basically they have user names with a two-digit prefix based on the year they started and a suffix with two letters from their first names and four from their last names) if they need to repeat a grade.
It basically renames the account in the AD with the correct year-prefix, changes the samAccountName, renames Home and Profile-directories on disk and changes paths on the profile-tab in AD, moves the user into a new OU and security group etc.
It works as intended if the user account to be renamed exists and there's no name conflict with the new name. But I'd like for the script to validate that there's no problem with user names, source and target security groups and OUs etc. and eventually split the script up into smaller clearly defined functions for better readability.
However, I don't want someone to just write the script for me, I'd prefer to be able to discuss script flow and come to my own conclusions and solutions.

If you don't know it yet, there is an awesome youtube channel full of talks about web developement. It's name is Coding Tech, just saying.

I want to build up a team of developers for my new project. I always have done solo projects. And I don't want to involve my colleagues. I need to find some people whom I can work together. But don't know about any proper place to where I can go to find them.

Can someone help me with this?

I needed a windows fallback for gaming

Entity framework driving me crazy.. but finally some decent result, but looking for < 100ms

I'm thinking of making a project that will help me during the upcoming school year. Pretty much an assistant that can fetch quick answers from google and a few other basic tasks. What projects have you guys done with your work? P.S. I might want one or two people to also contribute so comment down below if you'd like to help (won't be open source)
