What is this guide and how will it help me?

This guide is my gift to my 2010 self, and to other beginners. Over the following 9 years I developed over 20 web applications. Those 3 days were tough and the end of my dream.

I was wrong, I spent 3 days attempting to learn how a database worked and how to connect the frontend to the backend. But thankfully, I could build a static site with HTML and CSS so it couldn’t be that hard, right? There was a small complication with my vision - I didn’t know how to build a web application. It was the year 2010, I had an idea for a web application which would allow my family and I to share images, organise shopping, populate a shared calendar, and store bills.
