I want to make a website which will serve as news aggregator site. This will be my learning project but I don't know from where to start. Should I build the front end first, or the back end first. Further I will need a database to store the jobs. Should I design my database schema before everything else. A guidance in this regard will be appreciated. For technology I will use bootstrap, laravel and mysql
Database schema is a good place to start. Once you have something in place which you think houses all of the data you will need to display everything, do some reading about database normalization and think very carefully about what you have.
Once you have a solid database design, you can start working on the code. Instead of breaking the project into frontend and backend, try to break it into features. Focus on as small a thing as you can which can function on it's own and work on the backend and front end for that feature. Initially that might be getting information about a site from which you will be aggregating news into your database. Do you have a database for those? If you, start with a form where you can submit the name and url. Once that is working, work on a page to see a list of those you have submit. Then you can start to layer in new features. Add other fields to the form for the sites. Edit them. Delete them. etc.

I've been tasked to make a web app that users can drag and drop images to a container, depending on the size of the image, it needs to be able to snap in to place until the container is full.
I'm only a beginner programmer, I'm not too sure how to even begin (I've been "googling" for the last couple of days). I'm only going to host the app on a local server.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Would Python be the best bet here?
Is a Web App even a good approach to this? I'm only going with a web app, so users can access through localhost.
There's no data stored (yet). Just saving as pdf and printing.
I'm not sure what other features will be added in the future, but would be good to have future proofing.
Thank you in advance!
Dispite of my comment I'll give you some directions...
I'll upset a bunch of people, but I don't think python and web are a good match...
You should study a client-side framework like react, that has NPM modules to easily drag and drop, and to organize children in containers in smart ways.
The PDF part is tricky, theres a thing call ghostscript that can "printscreen" a html rendered page and make pdfs, or some tool that do the same using a headless browser.
Can be done, but won't be trivial...

I have a MySQL db that is supposed to store shift details like start time, employee, breaks, nr. of items processed etc. to then analyze this data with MS PowerBI.
The employees are supposed to enter the data themselves after their shift and be separated from the data (not see or change it afterwards).
How should I set up the form the employees enter their data into? Should I make a website with a form on it or should I make a diy program that connects to the db?
I am quite new to all of this so I’m trying to find the best way to complete this.
Thank you very much in advance!
You already have a best guess. Yes, create a website which allows the employee to enter the details, grab the info with a back end application (php/java/kotlin/nodejs/python ... e.t.c), and do not develop a page that retrieve data to the website for the employees.
Afterwards, you can export your data to your desired application (you might need to develop something for smooth data transfer as well)

Last year I started to develop a small "program" (not sure how this is called) in Access to help the family shop with the stock list and product prices, etc.
A few months ago, a client of the company started to ask for my Access's program because he needed one for its stock and they haven't found one yet. I was a bit scared of giving them the program because they could copy and steal my work.
Finally, my family suggested me to encrypt it in order to not be able to open its code, but I don't know how to do it.
So my questions are:
Is there a way to block the access to my VBA code in each Form? Through MS Access config or with more code, for me, it's the same.
Is there a way to block the duplication of its Forms or the whole file?
How can I secure my code?
I'm using MS Access 2016.
Edit: I've already got 2 downvotes and close flags, if you could explain to me in comments which thing do you think it's wrong I could try to fix it.
Access 2016 allows you to save as .accde format which is in effect an executable file. It seems that is what you need
Heres's how
you can also hide most of the Access environment so users can't really tell its Access
like so
Saving as an executable file as SEarl1986 said may be your best bet. I am unsure what happens to their database if you need to update your code tho.
Another way is to open Visual Basic, go to Tools, and "yourfilenames" properties, then under the protection tab you can "lock the project for viewing" and add a password.
It isn't foolproof as their is a method to break the password by editing the file with a hex editing tool, but it's a good lock that will deter most people. It will protect your code from prying eyes.

Here's my situation:
My client has an very large database. Currently, they fill out Inspection Forms by hand and manually put them into the database after the inspection. The forms are mostly checkboxes with very few areas for text input. They want to migrate from paper to tablets which are not specific to a single OS. When on the job site, the tablets will usually not be connected to the Internet.
I've been racking my brain for a few days trying to think of a solution. In what way could we record the offline data entry? Is there a way to synchronize the data when reaching an Internet source or would we be better off saving the current information and entering it into the db by hand when the inspectors are back at the office?
I was thinking to use HTML5/JS/PHP as it can easily be used on an android based, iPad, or Windows tablet and be cross compatible. I may be ruling out PHP as neither device should be able to run it locally.
Let me know if more information is needed.
Thanks in advance.
This might help you mate.

I work for a small business that does a lot of commerce via eBay. Right now, we have a pretty large database (in FileMaker), and our current method for getting newly-entered items from the database to eBay involves entering them manually, line-by-line, through a browser window into Auctiva. This is an extremely time-consuming process, and I've been tasked with automating it, if possible I've already written a good bit of code in Ruby to parse tab-delimited FileMaker exports into pretty much whatever I want, so I was wondering if there was some way to upload static HTML directly into an eBay listing. If so, I could just snag a spiffy HTML template from oswd, modify it, and modify the code I've already written to handle injecting the pertinent info directly into the document, then just upload that.
If you can do whatever with the product data, and have all the data necessary to make a listing, you can use the eBay API.
http://developer.ebay.com/products/trading/
has a HTTP POST based submission handler so you can use any http client you want (Net::HTTP, HTTP party, Curb etc) and post your listings that way.
