Where to Start...Just an Idea Currently

Get Started
1

Hello All,

New to the forum so please be gentle.

I have at the moment just an idea for a simple web app I would like to spend some time building. However I am a noob and will be learning on the project!

This initial thread is just to get an understanding of how I should get started, what to read about, language to use etc…

My idea:
*User can enter a shortened link or full link on a website/UI.
*The application will then look up the link against an internal database.
*This will generate certain values around interests, demo etc
*These values will be graphically represented.

Now where to start?

Thanks All!

Well let’s start with what you know and what you don’t know.

Do you know HTML,CSS,JavaScript?

How about a server-side language like PHP?

You said Web App- do you mean a website or are you looking to build an app for like the iPhone and Android phones?

Hello Patche,

Thanks for your reply.

I am in the process of learning HTML, JS and Python. This is at early stage, but I feel learning while trying to make something will be the best way for me to progress.

When I say web app - I mean a website which has functionality (is this not the correct terminology?)

I do not mean anything on mobile.

Thanks!
