Coding question
Hey guys, I wanted to know if any coders/programmers could help me out. My roommate, a friend, and I are currently working on a startup. We’ve got the ball rolling on a few items, but unfortunately we decided to major in Finance 😂. As a result, our limited knowledge of code has created some issues at our current stage. So, what programming knowledge do you think would be necessary for a system that pulls user information from a form (they provide answers to questions) and matches it with certain criteria? For example, you answer that you like strawberries. So our system matches your liking for strawberries with products that contain strawberries. Random example, but I hope it sends the point home in regards to the communication needed. I know you can use Qualtrics, but would you need to build your own form for something like this? Thanks in advance and I look forward to seeing your responses.
It's hard to understand the situation just from this post. If you have a coder friend who could look at your situation for half an hour, they could give a better answer.
C. But not C++. It’s not optimized for strawberry
Webapps is where it's at! You could probably most easily create a simple HTML form and use JavaScript to validate user input and send it to some backend/data store. Look at guides on Mozilla Developer Network and CSS Tricks You can integrate with online services like Google firebase if you need to store data. Otherwise you will get into the backend rabbit hole too. Rest API endpoints services, etc. Hire someone good at design and CSS to give your app a good look/feel.
Thank you
You should build it in excel VBA like a true finance guy

Building your own solution for this is a slippery slope. Not worth it.
Well if they are doing some market research then sure. But if the form is part of the product they are building, and they have reason to think the product might be successful, then maybe they need to code something.
I wouldn’t recommend building a system from scratch that handles customer data.
