Thanks so much Mev-Rael that helps a lot. So if I am understanding you correctly: Databases are the root content holders- that simply hold information but do not send communications from a coding standpoint. To access information on the database I must first go through a web server using nodeJS- then use Express to reach into the database and retrieve the information? Does this mean when I create an IOS/android app the same will apply? i'll just use a different front end toolset to retrieve the database information? So, on a side note- where are user "posts" actually stored? For example, with this website, Hashnode. Are our posts stored on the database? or are they just floating code? thanks again!
The best advice I can give is to go in with low expectations and look at it as a learning opportunity. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, in fact, I encourage you to embrace mistakes, and learn from them! Great advice Josh, thanks for that and for the encouragement! It's good to hear from someone who has been through something like this already...
It's cool that you're so open-minded to use whatever tools and tech you can find to get the job done - with this kind of attitude I'm sure you will :D Thanks Tommy! Very encouraging... And thanks for taking the time to respond.. My question) Is the app and its listings 100% self-contained to your company, or will you need to fetch MLS listings for the properties listed on your site? Good question- we are a commercial real estate company so we don't use an MLS system- or at least there isn't currently an MLS system that we use that will send out data like an MLS does (I don't think). Either way- all the listings we have are added as posts using an awesome wordpress plugin I added called Easy Property Listings . ... step 1 and step 7.C , and steps 2–7 are where you will likely be able to find ready-made applications, plugins, and tutorials. With as many plugins out there as there are now adays, is it even worth it to try and create my one user account system from scratch? Or do most developers actively look for plugins in their day to day coding? Or as you mention later on, do developers usually find plugins for user account systems for security purposes? Yes, you could have WordPress as the main folder of your site and have unlimited subdomains, and you can also create as many folders to host static content, apps, or other WordPress sites 'within' a domain too! Thanks for the tip! That makes a lot more sense now... Do you know off the top of your head if we already have an SSL set up for the domain if I was to set up a subdomain, the SSL would umbrella both? Thanks again Tommy!
Thanks for the reply Rajkumar ! I layout the flow in use-case diagrams of various modules. And see if there is any link between modules. Before I code, I make sure I get all right(atleast80%) as this would save lot of time by not creating mess. Please have a prototype ready, which is nothing but barebone app with no design, nothing. Just HTML/forms which emulate the exact functionality you expect out of it. This might sound boring and time consuming, but trust me, it will get you out of so much trouble. That's really helpful advice. I think the use-case diagram with an html prototype will be the best place to start. I like the idea of starting from bare bones and adding to it! Thanks again!
I didn't even know competitive coding was a thing! I've seen alot of "practice javascript" problems around the web- most of them seem like a logic or math test, so this makes more sense now... Dev definitely sounds like the more fulfilling route for sure...
