Understanding the Build

• Minimum Viable Product
• Styling, it's amazing!
• What do you need?
• What do you want?
• Server Side, what is it good for?

Minimum Viable Product

*Cool Image from Quora

You may not need anything more than CSS and some text!?!?

A Succesful Website

Don't build it all at once!

How often do we waste our time and money building monolithic web architectures for an online product that we EXPECT to expand?

HTML

Any website, mobile or otherwise is going to eventually use this to render.

CSS

Styling is crucial, the most important aspect, it controls how your content is viewed, and who can view it.

+

EQUALS THE DOM

API

(document object model)

But what about Ruby*?

*php,sql,wordpress,Erlang,rb,s3,shopify,drupal,python,R,GoLang,Elixir,Node.js)

Server Side Architecture IS Important

(but it's not everything)

When A CMS Can Hurt

* Why do i need a CMS?

* Wouldn't it just be cheaper to pay 4 hours a month for copy updates?

* When I break the styling of my site, that's going to cost more right(which we will)?

* Jan from accounting is going to spend hours of time modifying this for me anyways....why not just have the pros do it?

Just Make Something!

Server Side Concerns

Client Side Concerns

• HTML
• CSS
• Javascript
• Browser

WHERE DO I BEGIN?

Opinions are opinions.....just opinions, almost like onions, stinky....
