  • Ruby on Rails

    Ruby on Rails

  • Ruby + Ruby on Rails is also a popular 'batteries' included option that I would say is on-par with python + Django both in terms of functionality and ease of use. The most notable difference for a beginner is probably the language syntax. I prefer python but you may like ruby!

  • jQuery

    jQuery JavaScript Library

  • Templates, bootstrap css and javascript/jQuery can go a long way but depending on the complexity of the application a javascript framework might be called for. React, Angular and Vue are the big three but there is a lot of variety in the javascript community. Beware decision fatigue if you decide you need more functionality on the front-end.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • While I'm rambling on - don't forget to use source-control

  • Bootstrap

    The most popular HTML, CSS, and JavaScript framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web.
