My Linux experiance is pretty solid have wanted to get into a small amount of coding but i've come across a project that suits my needs just need to know the best way to do it.
Id like to build a basic website hosted on my linux server at home, the basis for it is to keep track of points and setup a leaderboard for a winter golf group thats in the process of being put together
Score entry system to allow players to drop down select a date and player name then enter a score.
Prevent player from adiding multiple scores per day but multiple scores over time
Allocate a point system dependent on score eg 36 gets 2 points 38 gets 3 points etc per round and calculate a total over multiple rounds and entries
A leaderboard page that can track number of entries per player current number of points alomg with a few other vairiable fields such as handicap etc
Maybe a archive option so that previous leaderboards can be viewed but not edited.
I apriciate this is probably a mamoth task for someone whos never done any web dev and whos sql knowlege is limited to a few lookups and basic selections but Ive got till october to attempt to get this working and am willing to wade through whatever books websites and other stuff needed
I appriciate I could probably do this in an excel spreadsheet or even buy an off the shelf solution but where would the fun be in that
Any and all initial guidence to get things off the ground would be great
