Want to start using less or sass. Tell me how!
Ok! So I want to be starting to use either less or sass, probably in combination with bootstrap.
How do I do this? I'm on Windows 8. Ive' tried to google it but I always get so unmotivated when I read the tutorials how to, because they seem to do it so complicated? Why isnt there just a IDE plugin or whatever that just complies the less/sass code into CSS?
AND which one of these two should I be using? Which one has the most backed up community and most support for the future?
[Question] Why is there typoscript?
As the title says, why was there a need for the typo3 developers to create the typoscript? I am currently learning this CMS because i will need it in the company i am currently in. As far as i have seen it, everything can be done via php and in my opinion easier than it is in typoscript. Especialy when you use it for fluid templating, the way smarty is working is more intuitive and easier (again in my opinion).
TL:DR: Can someone provide some reasoning for the existence of typoscript?

Choosing the optimum programming language
Hi guys,
Nowadays there are so many programming languages it's difficult for a non-programmer to know what is best for a particular situation. I'm looking at outsourcing the development of a website/app but would like some suggestions as to which languages may be most suitable.
- The Website will be heavily database driven
- The Website will start off as quite simple with users being sent reminders/sms messages based off the information they enter
- In the future I'd like to analyze the information provided by the user and then search the database for optimal "offers" based on the information provided
Sorry this isn't that in depth but I'm in the early research stages and trying to get an idea of how much the development would cost without even knowing which language I should be look at! I understand that this could be done in many different languages but I'm interested in what is currently most popular for this type of thing.
Thanks in advance!

Test project in a boring sunday... what do you think?
Hi guys, I made tempage.me as a first test project with the newer Laravel version. You can use it to make disposable web pages in a second, without signup. What do you think about? What you would improve, and why?
P.S: don't be bad, I made it in two hours :D
ELI5 Sync/Async (blocking/non-blocking) in a Node or general context
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could help with explaining me simply what asynchronous and synchronous really means. I have been learning Node for the last couple of days, I have used ajax calls in JQuery before, and I guess i soooort of understand what async is (i used it to submit form without a submit button). But a good explanation would help me a lot I think. Also in the context of Node, how does this all relate to callbacks. I can see the pattern of how people are using it, I can write it, but to be fair I don't really understand why I do it or why this is good for me. for example:
var files = buffer = fs.readFileSync(process.argv[2]); var lines = buffer.toString().split('\n');
vs.
fs.readFile(process.argv[2], 'utf8', function(err, data){ var lines = data.split('\n').length - 1; console.log(lines) });
Any help would be really appreciated guys, sorry that I am always posting noob questions. Thanks
Need some advice on developing an eBay store
I started to learn HTML/CSS/JS/PHP/mySQL few months ago and at the same time I started to do easy gigs for earn some money and keep learning on the way. Last 2 months freelancing has become my full time job, still not as profitable as I want to but I'm really happy with what I done. Today a former customer asked me to make a custom eBay store for him and I need some advice on how to proceed.
Right now I just know that I have to read the eBay API documentation and create a developer account but I never used an API before and I'm kind of totally outside of my comfort zone, don't know where to start, my guess is understanding XML first (never used or heard before, as I said I'm pretty new to this webdev world).
Also I would like to show him some kind of checkpoints and set milestones and deadlines (that's for my safety, I feel more comfortable working X hours, asking for approval and getting paid for the work done before continue), like: 1. HTML scaffolding, 2. Add descriptions and content, 3. Images and style, 4. etc,... I gladly appreciate some advice on this.
tl;dr: new to webdev, customer pay me for custom ebay store, never used API's before, totally lost asking for advice to proceed.
Thank you very much.
I keep finding 'fixed' hosting plans. Is there a 'variable' hosting plan that would 'Hug-O-Death'-proof my website (i.e. being able to handle large volumes of sudden traffic)?
I really want to be able to do this on the off chance something I make goes viral, but every plan I've seen so far is just a fixed amount of storage/bandwidth for a certain rate.
I don't even know how much bandwidth I'm gonna need, so even between those plans I'm at a loss for what to pick.
Is there some term I'm missing for the utility-like "pay-by-the-use" kind of hosting plan, or do those just not exist? :(
I'm an American with family in Brisbane looking to do some contracting work in the Brisbane area. Any Advice?
Hi. I'm from California with relatives in Brisbane looking to do some IT jobs in the Brisbane area. It's been two years since i've been to the nice city of Brisbane. Most of my relatives there work in construction, non-profit, and government jobs and they don't know much of any startups originating out of Brisbane. Are there any online resources for contracting in Brisbane? I could live with my relatives for a week or two before settling in on an apartment or so and then continue on from there if I could find any IT/webdev/bitcoin/webapp gigs in the area.

Automated PHP script to FTP .json file to a remote server, rename it and back up the old file - how?!
As the title says really, looking to automate a PHP script to transfer over a json file to a remote server, rename it and back up the original file. Any thought?
Can't find a job.
Hi webdev!
I would like to ask you for advice as I cannot see how to make my situation better.
I have been fiddling around with programming for almost three years, last year I started working on oDesk and had my first major project in Ruby and a few minor ones connected mainly with front-end. Then I stopped working because I went to college. Now I have holidays and have been trying to find a job on oDesk and after month without success I feel quite desperate because web development is said to be really employable skill.
What am I doing wrong? I am trying to broaden my skills, I have learnt Django, a little node and I am trying to bite reactive programming and front-end MVC frameworks. No TDD/BDD/devops skills though.
I live in EU.
SEO - How does a 301 affect your search results?
I'm doing some SEO for a client, their website previously had none (to the point where Google just had the domain name). I've made most of the changes and they've appeared and quickly increased in ranking on Google on their main domain, however; another domain of theirs that 301s to the main domain has not yet been updated, and is still the top result.
Is it normal for it to take a lot longer to update because of a 301? What should I expect to see when it is updated too?

This guys site...
Apparently he was charged 1600€ for a site in 2011, and now he needs some changes made, the original guy is nowhere to be found, so he asked me.
The guy added opening html/head/body tags and meta tags inside every singe div, pretty much all text is an image, included php files are inside a huge directory tree with only one file per directory.
I can't.
What are some http headers everyone should know about and use?
I looked into security and learned about these http headers and wondered what other headers I should be using.
Installed a new version of joomla and my websites size has changed in width and favicon has gone.
How can I fix this? My website is www.pacbetting.com/ and the whole site is supposed to be 1200 px wide, I've changed the container and a few other things but the errors keep on happening, also does anyone know why there is so much white space on my page? Really at a loss here/.
What is your favourite FTP client?
I'm in the process of setting up a personal website for the first time in a few years and things have changed since then. I used to use FileZilla and was working with Windows XP and now I'm on a Mac. According to some reviews, FileZilla doesn't work that well on a Mac and there are apparently different clients like Fetch and Cyberduck. I'd also like to try something new anyway.
Having not been in the webdev game for about 5 years, I just wanted to see what most people use.
Thanks.
Advice on wireframing apps
I'm looking for a wireframing/mock up program, however it seems to me like all of the best ones are on a monthly subscription. What are some that you would recommend which are a one time fee?
How do you make your backends?
I decided to revamp my portfolio site recently, originally it was very simple so I just grabbed my information from a .json file on the server, worked well enough. Now I want to create a proper backend for the website since I'll be working with a lot more information. Currently I've built a API in Flask that does this pretty well, but I get the feeling it's overkill for what I need (not to mention deploying it is hell), I found Cockpit the other day, and it looks promising, while mostly PHP-focused (frontend uses AngularJS). How do you make your backends?
