Thread Rules 1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution. 2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20) 3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible. 4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks. | ||

Is there anything wrong with this? It works fine in Firefox, Safari and IE, but in Chrome it's acting up. It doesn't run the jQuery. This is the error I get in the JS Developer section of chrome: $ is not defined; but when I look, I don't see anything wrong with my code. All the $ are closed correctly. | ||

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.paydayloandebtassistance.com/test/js/triggers.js"></script> Can it be I'm using an older version of the jquery library for chrome? | ||

The problem seems to be that http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.js appears to send the file as attachment, not as simple plaintext, so chrome doesn't treat it as javascript. Other browsers seem to be more forgiving. Download the file and put it somewhere else and include it from there.

I know it's kind of a vague/broad question, but I'd appreciate any tips. I have "some" experience with scripting in matlab (Mech Eng student) and helping some friends out with random things in java, but I never really learned it properly, just google-engineered everything. Programming is no make-money-quick scheme. Spend the next 6 month learning whatever you are interested in (mobile apps, websites, whatever) and if you are still interested, spend another year doing the same until you know enough to start working in the field. | ||

The issue is with having several doc ready on a page loaded with 1 call. The reason is there is should never be a situation where you need to enclose logic in more than 1 document ready per dom rendering, its fine to have doc ready in content included at a later stage with XHR. Chrome is funny this way. Either way, this should fix it. If it doesn't, then you are probably having some caching issues with chrome, try to clear your cache and make sure its actually loaded as js with chrome dev tools, and good luck with your homework/training. $(document).ready(function(){ $(".triggers").click(function(){ $(".panels").toggle("fast"); $(this).toggleClass("active"); return false; }); $('.trigger').add('.triggerz').click(function(){ $(".panels").hide(); }); $(".trigger").click(function(){ $(".panel").toggle("fast"); $(this).toggleClass("active"); return false; }); $('.triggers').add('.triggerz').click(function(){ $(".panel").hide(); }); $(".triggerz").click(function(){ $(".panelz").toggle("fast"); $(this).toggleClass("active"); return false; }); $('.triggers').add('.trigger').click(function(){ $(".panelz").hide(); }); }); | ||

That file is being sent as an attachment and not included a javascript into Chrome, thats why it cant find jQuery! Also thats a REALLY old version. | ||

Thanks for all the help, the most that helped me was moving the jquery to my server. That basically fixed most of the problems. Just needed to add the https in front of it and it was good to go. Thanks all once again! | ||

Spend all day at work coding (sort-of, debugging other people's code is considered coding, right?), then try to go home and code my own side project, but just get burnt out incredibly fast and give up because of the poor quality of code generated and no accountability. Any suggestions for overcoming programming fatigue? Caffeine is nice and all, but see the above comment on poor quality of code generated; sleep deprivation doesn't sound like a good path forward. | ||

Switch careers. Working with bad programmers and fixing their stupid bugs every day threw me into a complete burnout that i most likely never will recover from. Even in my private projects i now have a complete "writer's block" and have trouble solving minor problems. Other than that: Try to teach others proper programming techniques so you don't have to debug their code all the time. Working with at least a decent codebase is so much less stressful and might make you enjoy it. I at least got people from writing horrible, messy code to writing horrible but at least properly formatted code that even had proper variable names. I still had to spend 75% of my workday cleaning up their messes but maybe if i had survived another year or two, maybe it would have only been 50% by then. Bad programmers are the scourge of professional programming, you will never get rid of them since there are too many people similar to the poster a few posts above with "I want to earn money with programming. I don't know anything about programming though." | ||

http://www.cleancoders.com/ Clean Coders from 'Uncle Bob'. We've been watching them at work and they have been both entertaining and massively educational - there's no one thing that we've done through training that has had a greater impact on how we code and how we think about code at our company. Its style is eccentric (and you will be worried about it when you start watching), but you quickly realise that the mad costumes and crazy cuts are there simply to keep you focused and concentrating... and it works. A good way to passively get better at programming while you give your hands a rest. | ||

Kind of similar situation here. I found what helped incredibly was, when I come home, only concentrating on projects truly meaningful to me. Stuff that I enjoy just for its own sake, rather than stuff "I should learn". Other than that just keep it up, I know you're discouraged but it sounds like you're doing well. Your body will adjust if you persevere. | ||

Your reply has no content whatsoever, you just said "spend 1.5 yrs learning something". To clarify, I don't want to work in the field fulltime or learn every in and out about a certain subject, I just want some freelance jobs or make some (web)apps that earn me some money. I helped friends before and released a android app together with a buddy which landed me some decent cash, etc. This was nice and all, but I'm just looking for some advice on where/how I can get some simple projects or other ways that get me some money. I'm not trying to get rich quick or whatever you tried to imply, just wanna get a little extra income. | ||

Bad programmers are the scourge of professional programming, you will never get rid of them since there are too many people similar to the poster a few posts above with "I want to earn money with programming. I don't know anything about programming though." Probably worth mentioning that I work in support for an embedded toolchain company. My coworkers are probably some of the brightest code magicians I've had the pleasure of working with. It's in my job description to help customers though, and my greatest fear is not debugging a stupid customer's code, but rather, the one who manages to break the OS in a new and spectacular way. I rarely come across poorly written/designed code (unless I'm dealing with gov't contractors...). I think its most just the 24/7 aspect of programming. I suppose its time to go spin things in the park before getting back to work | ||
