If you implement OAuth you can make your users login with Twitter and then upload/post the picture using their token. It'll use your app as client but the image will be posted to your user's timeline.

Do we have any Sitecore developers floating around here? I've been scheduled to take the training in Sausalito 5/24 to 5/27. The most I've done with Sitecore are some bug fixes and the usual poo poo, I'm also not a C# developer really. How comprehensive is this training in terms of passing the exam at the end? Any helpful tips or things I should definitely look for? Pretty nerve wracking since my manager decided to send me to make more well rounded (we were tech agnostic until he was hired on about 3 months ago and he is pushing us to be a full on .NET shop).

Is there a good keyword tracking / SEO helper service like moz.com or ahrefs.com but which costs like $30 a month instead of $100? They are all so drat expensive. Alternatively, does anyone wanna share a moz / ahrefs account and pay half each? Their basic plans let you track 5 sites but I only need to track 2.

So I'm about halfway through Web Development with Node and Express, the Oreilly book, and I was wondering how to get started actually making stuff for a portfolio or whatever. Should I just try to recreate websites I think look cool, put them all together on the same host, and call it a portfolio? Is that how you guys do that portfolio stuff?

Pretty nerve wracking since my manager decided to send me to make more well rounded (we were tech agnostic until he was hired on about 3 months ago and he is pushing us to be a full on .NET shop). I got my "Sitecore Certified Professional Developer" certification while I was transitioning into a developer role (from operations) at my current workplace. I already had some experience with C# and .NET, but not ASP and none of it was within an enterprise or team environment. Our whole team went on the course and I was (by a massive margin) the most junior dev there. I was able to get by fine and pass the exam. When you say you've done "bug fixes", does that mean you've used rocks and hacked on a real site? If so, you're already way ahead. For context, we are a 100% .NET shop and 90% of our publicly facing apps are DNN "modules" (although most of them are actually larger then DNN itself). We currently have a project in place at the moment to replace the content side of our sites with Sitecore. I'm not actually on that project so it's technically not my problem until it goes live, but I'm happy to relay questions to my team mates if you have them? While I'm not exactly a fan of DNN (is anyone?), at least it's a simple application with simple infrastructure requirements. Sitecore by comparison feels hugely over-engineered with an absolute poo poo ton of legacy baggage, I am not at all looking forward to supporting it. I've flicked you a PM with some other details too.

I've set up Sitecore using Sitecore Rocks and out of the zip file as described in the official PDF. I've never really gone further than poking through the content editor and experience editor on a fresh install. I've done the usual bug fixes you encounter on a new and existing site build but nothing real in depth. Just enough to grasp the hell that everything is an item, there is no traditional database structure, and how to start pulling stuff from models to views. I have zero .NET experience and I've only been a dev (on paper) for about a year now. We are a medium size agency and there are currently only three devs on the team (including me), down from 8 when I was hired. We've got three decent builds coming down the pipe and due by the 1st of the year. I've always viewed the Microsoft stack as something I didn't want to touch with a ten foot pole, but I've kinda been shoved into it and I'm going to go with the flow. I guess I'm mostly worried because of the zero .NET experience... I don't really know if that will be a factor in passing this class. Is it?

I would probably say to whip up a "babies first MVC app" in ASP.NET and don't stress too much about the rest. Personally I think going into Sitecore Rocks and trying to hack away at a Sitecore site blind would be super intimating, can't really recommend that approach. If you are actually learning and getting somewhere by doing that then yeah, definitely continue. If you haven't already, go sign up for Visual Studio Dev Essentials, it gives you 6 months of Pluralsight (limited library) access. Watch some intro course to ASP.NET and create a very basic app. This should probably give you enough of a foundation to get you through.

That being said, the classes involve sitting down in Visual Studio with Sitecore Rocks. You'll write C# and use ASP.NET/Razor. Thank you, I'm going to go ahead and do this. I've written basic stuff in C# before and lightly used Razor in other sitecore/umbraco sites I was doing bug fixes and minor feature updates on, but since I don't know the underlying APIs it's just a lot of Googling to figure out what I'm actually looking for. I'm going to get this done.

Can anyone explain what's going on here? I have the max bid set to £1 but I got charged £3.50 for that one click?  I have the "Enhanced" CPC thing turned on, but that is only supposed to add a max of 30% to your bid.

Is there anything else about the Enhanced CPC in their documentation? Like maybe the blended CPC didn't get back down to under 30% because of the low amount of impressions? (I'm a UX Designer at an adtech company so I half know what I'm talking about, half completely talking out of my rear end.)

I'm looking into ways to style an email that's going to be sent from outlook. Not a coded HTML email - I mean just whatever we can style in an email sent from Outlook. I'm having a hard time finding anything - are there any resources out there that someone's used before? I mean like changing background color, link colors, header/footer, etc? What's out there? I know this is going to be painful, but I've got to at least explore it a little. Edit: It looks like I can do what I want in Word, maybe, and then send what I make in Word to Outlook. I can do a little formatting, at least, which might give me all I want. Christ I hate emails. jackpot fucked around with this message at 21:26 on May 10, 2016 |

I need my ASP.NET webapp to provide a couple confirmation dialogs to the user, but it involves database data pulled just before the dialog happens (needs to be real-time). So as far as I can tell I need to make a client-side dialog from the code behind or query the database from javascript. I'm not having luck on figuring out how to do either, does someone less terrible than me know what I should do?

jackpot posted:Christ I hate emails. Just chiming in to say emails is hosed. Outlook and it's jiggery fuckery means they're firmly stuck in 1996. Even if you try to bring best practices or layout tricks to emails, outlook will feed your html through its own parser and renderer, which converts it to word xml, making guacamole of your otherwise functional code. Table layouts. Inline styles. fixes. Punching yourself in the head. Whatever you code in, check how it gets received in outlook, in each variation of office. It's a god drat poo poo show. Check out https://putsmail.com/ for a css inliner, and tester. There's lots of these kinds of services.

Can you just make an ajax call to a web api/controller (assuming you're doing some kind of MVC webapp)? I usually make an ajax call to a controller, do some kind of LINQ query (can use stored procedures too), and return a JSON result to the ajax call. Then you can do whatever from there with javascript for your dialogs.

A colleague hated Drupal because he never bothered to learn how to write modules for it or use it's API and his code is loving horrendous. Also I've been doing this job for 7 years and I've yet to meet a "content creator" who is happy to manage their site themselves instead of emailing/phoning me every time they want a new article posted or a typo corrected or anything that they can do themselves if they ever bothered to log in.

We have a new version of an app and an old version, running on different URLs and servers. When you log in to the old app, we want to give an option to go to the new app and be logged in already. Both apps have the same credentials, and they have access to the same database. What's a good approach to this? I've used SAML for single sign on before but it's a pretty complicated flow and OpenSaml is a big dependency to add if you don't actually need to be standards compliant. At the moment, our proof of concept is to just submit the new sites login form from the old site which works surprisingly well... if we turn off the CSRF prevention. And Firefox shows a scary warning. So not great.

WordPress is legitimately terrible though, even though I've bent my brain enough to figure out how it usually likes to work. If you have constant access to an actual developer, I'd argue it's usually better to use a framework like Django instead of cobbling together an approximation of what you want using a traditional CMS. Every CMS has the inherent disadvantage of dealing with unstructured data, which means you're always going to be wasting time trying to make a general purpose tool do whatever it is you want. Further, you still need to know traditional HTML/CSS and probably JavaScript if you, for any reason, would like to do something non-trivial in terms of design anyway. Maybe there's some CMS that doesn't have these problems, but ultimately the less you have to force your ideas to fit the CMS's paradigm, the closer it becomes to a framework, and at that point why not just use a framework instead?

In my experience clients are likely to go for a wordpress installation because 'we can't afford a developer' until they find the one thing their theme can't do. I've had a client who went with wordpress because they thought it was the cheaper option but ended up spending so much asking us to make modifications and additions because their theme didn't do exactly what they wanted they might as well have asked us for a bespoke build from the get go. Trying to explain the sunk cost fallacy to clients is an exercise in futility.
