You wont Believe What I need Help With

[Jaybird]

I am looking to create a website based solely on one of my friends. see I always ask her to do something but she 99% of the time will turn me down. so I wanted to create a web site that reflected this. However, I have no idea what I am doing. I used my fantastic MS paint skills to draw up something I had in mind. the red line represents the number of times asked and the green line represents the number of times denied. Can this be done?

Maybe, just MAYBE.. she doesn't like you.

 

I question it also but she will occasionally ask me to do something to which I always agree to.

Sure it can!

There are many ways of building a simple web application like this. Which languages/technologies you choose depend on what you're familiar with.

The dead simplest way is to create a simple static HTML page that uses a javascript library like Highcharts to render charts. You can then write a simple python/php/ruby script that will return either CSV or JSON data. This will allow you to have the chart be rendered via an AJAX request.

Example demo:

http://www.highcharts.com/demo/line-ajax

All you need to do then is create a separate page, which you can protect using basic HTTP authentication, that allows you to edit data.

You don't really need a database for this, so you can use a basic flat file for storage. Python has built-in shelf for this, but you can just as easily keep the CSV/JSON on disk.

If you don't want to deal with AJAX, or authentication, you can simply include the JSON data as part of your static page; though you'll have to manually edit the HTML page every time you want to add new data.

Now, the above isn't the fancies app around; it has a number of security issues, but it's enough to get you started.

You'll probably also want to host it somewhere. Amazon S3, Heroku, and Google App Engine all offer free plans for low-traffic websites, which is a great start and then they charge pennies after that.
