Where should I begin?

I purchased a domain and want to begin building a B2B SaaS (software-as-a-service) company. I need to have a database-driven website - I can write SQL queries and want to build upon my skills from a website development perspective. Where should I begin to gain those skills?

Hey Jason,

Welcome to Treehouse! It sounds like you have some exciting plans. There are two components to this answer.

First, I would work on determining how to structure your business and application. I personally reccomend How to Write a Business Plan. This course covers concepts that are good for testing ideas.

Second, I would determine what programming language that you would like to work in. You might uncover the language that best suits your needs in the previous step. You may want to check one of the tracks that best suits your current knowledge of web/application developent.

Tracks like Rails Development are built specifically to help you understand basic, andvanced, and supporting concepts.

Let me know if you ever need any help. I'm also always available to chat on Twitter @smashbrando
