Back in the day, I was a high schooler and daniweb.com was a website about my Yorkie and Maltese!! However, I couldn't help my nerdiness and interest in web development, and there was an "HTML Tutor" section as well. (Also, please just tell us about it without this turning into …

Hi all, For the past few years I've been working on this visual web dev tool called Webfoundry: https://webfoundry.app/ It allows you to visually manipulate the DOM to create components and page templates, add JavaScript bindings, and build anything the browser can accomodate. It's different from existing competitor products in …

Hey everyone, Over the past few years, I've worked closely with dev teams (startups, product companies, and even agencies) that hit a point where internal capacity wasn’t enough—tight deadlines, talent shortages, or the need for niche skills like DevOps or QA automation. That’s where team extension services come in. Basically, …

Does anyone have any experience with Google Analytics consent mode? In the HTML head, I have: gtag('consent', 'default', { 'ad_storage': 'denied', 'ad_user_data': 'denied', 'ad_personalization': 'denied', 'analytics_storage': 'denied', 'wait_for_update': 500 }); Then, a javascript function is called from within the bottom of the HTML page that, based on the flow of …

Years and years ago, when I first started coding DaniWeb, I used SVN source control. Eventually I switched to git/Github. Is SVN still popular these days, or does pretty much everyone just use git? A google search told me that git was created by Linux Torvalds way back in 2005 …

What's your setup like? For the longest time, I used to use Zend PHP Studio, which was a proprietary fork of Eclipse. Then for macOS I used Coda for some time, which has been discontinued and the developers now have Nova instead. Nowadays I use PHPStorm.

If you were starting programming today, what language would you learn first? For me, Javascript all the way. Then probably Python. PHP would come in third because you can't discount that Wordpress makes up more than half the web or something crazy like that.

An interesting lesson learned today: A table's auto-increment value gets cached in MySQL. If you run `ALTER TABLE table_name AUTO_INCREMENT = 1;` and nothing seemingly happens, you have to reconnect the client.

For me, it's jQuery, of course. It just works and I don't think it's as much of a performance hit as everyone seems to think. Google Analytics 4 comes in a close second, because, well, it's GA4. Need I say more?
