3. Be comfortable doing both of those things.
+1.

In commercial projects that use a Rails API + JS frontend (react/angular/whatever) are there usually two completely separate projects or are they combined and compiled together into one project?

I refer to that site a lot, lol. The big hitters are on there.

You can also inspect other people's sprites for free giving you an idea about what makes a good sprite.

You might just be better off hiring someone. If it were me, I'd make some text-sprites to fill-in and get the game mechanics down, and then tabulate how much it's going to cost for me to learn and do it myself, the long term benefits, and whether or not I want to be the jack of all trades, or start outsourcing some of the art. I think art that's "good enough" can be learned through time, but there are undoubtedly natural artists who are starving out there.

This is pro.

I would imagine theyre more often separate, but thats probably more due to having rails APIs created in the past and "upgrading" to react or angular. My company is separate.

Ive done both ways in personal projects. The react-rails gem is pretty damn simple to just use the same project

I think the recommendation I've read is to statically host react front ends.

Ok I did something really dumb and need help.

I changed my registry entries for my default installation path to E:/Program Files. I knew this could cause problems so I made a backup of my registry

Now all exe files will not work. I get error: device not ready. I cannot even merge with my .reg file. I tried backing up and reinstalling but I cannot do that either. Am i ****ed? I am freaking out mildly

If you can access it, try a system restore?


You might be lucky and able to find an automatic registry backup, try:

I think I fixed it. had to do something really goofy. jesus christ that was scary. I'm such a moron

this kind of stuff happens every time I try to start a project, I start tinkering around with **** I shouldn't and I break stuff.

Got everything with cloudfront working and all redirects and everything plus SSL.

Really didn't appreciate Amazon's aggressive insistence to migrate your DNS to them, seems like an inappropriate thing for setup docs.

I got an accounted hacked into. It's an old account I haven't used for years with an old "throwaway" password.

It was a free dating site, so there was a ton of messages since this hacker sprayed and prayed or something. I log in and everything is the same except my picture. Sent off a bunch of messages telling them to ignore the idiot and be safe. Scary world out there, you know?

Now I'm wondering what other shenanigans are being done with some email / password combo.

It's hard to say, really. I'm sure I reused passwords with little variation back in the old days. I didn't know any better. *shrug*

Yeah, C# is like Java with all the stupid decisions fixed. The opposite happened to me, I've spent years writing C# and I recently had to take up Java. Spent my time cursing its limitations and little annoyances (no auto properties, are you kidding me?)

I have not programmed in C# extensively, just enough to see what it was like. I liked some aspects of C# itself - like you say, sort of Java-y with the ****tiest boilerplate parts removed.

I did not like the .NET part though. And frankly the windows-only was kind of a problem. Mono existed even back then but it was... not great. Maybe it's OK now. Any windows only programming language is a non-starter for me though.

There's .NET Core now. Official Microsoft product. Slightly stripped down version of the .NET Framework (missing Windows-specific stuff like Active Directory) that runs on OSX and various Linux distros.

Do it! I've been waiting for others to start cropping up. I finished mine a couple weeks ago, and I've been studying like a madman. I'm beginning to notice that I am taking on too many subjects and projects at once and not progressing efficiently. Having said that I an extremely glad to have done the bootcamp.

So I ask this question knowing what im doing isnt ideal, but Im working on a project with a few devs. We have one master repository foo, which then has diff modules for each project, ie foo-api, foo-web, foo-ios, etc. Works fine for keeping history in line between projects and what not. But what I want is a way to deploy each project individually and potentially have some way to tag releases for each and keep some form of history by release.

Easiest is obviously a diff repo for each module, which is what we started with, but then things like committing changes to multiple projects sucks and tagging issues that effect 2 diff projects sucks. Again Im aware this is probably the easiest, but its not really what I want.

Anyone know a different solution? Ive played around with git submodules, but it adds a lot of complexity I and other devs dont really want, stuff like having to commit to the submodule, then commit again in the parent repo. Ew.
