- Henry might know which of the resources mentioned are best
- I can give a $500 allowance on books. Just lmk which ones you buy.
- commit some app that shows you know the material ($100)
(You don't need to decide on your webapp now, since it will take a while to learn the JS "well-enough", so I'm moving this section down.)
- decide on content
- a site with static content is fine for your first website
- one idea is a single-page application with each Smite character like a baseball card that you can flip around, telling its stats, etc.
- you can also have the card contents be automatically filled out by pulling from some API, or in a more time-consuming method, by scraping the contents off of a site and putting it into a database.
- ideally it provides some kind of functionality, solves some problem for the end-user
- a site with static content is fine for your first website
- chat with Henry to get a better idea which one to use
- commit that website to this repo
