Trying to win contest - New to javascript - willing to work hard

These are the requirements for the Bracket system I’m attempting to make. Any tips on how to start or anything else is appreciated… Thx…

The bracket system should be able to accept user names, emails and player choices easily, automatically tabulate scores and advertise our partners and the prizes that we will be giving out.

Collect user name and email address
Collect Round 1 Players, include advancing players in the Round 2 Choices
Collect Round 2 Players, include advancing players in the Round 3 Choices in the appropriate positions
Collect Round 3 Players, including Wild Card
Collect Round 4 Winner from the Round 3 Players that were chosen
Allow space to advertise prizes and partners (square ad sizes with min size of 200×200)
Optionally allow people to create smaller brackets where they can invite their friends to compete

Hi @discgolfquestionman it seems by the requirements that you will need a database to complete the task, is this correct? If you do then of course the project is not just limited to client side JavaScript… If that is the case then, do you have a choice in server side technology?

It’s super open-ended… but data-base is def. preferable

Have you got experience with any server side technology like PHP?

No. I’m not experienced whatsoever… just want to try something new and have fun :slight_smile:

Lots of fun to be had :slight_smile:
The first thing would be to choose your stack. You could do all server and client side in JavaScript but I think there is a bit more of a learning curve for server side JavaScript than PHP. So I suggest you build the server side with PHP, which works very well with MySQL databases. Then again it’s entirely your choice depending on what you would like to learn and also maybe how much time you have.
