Creating a page similar to AirBNB

Hello community,

I have been lurking for a few days and finally decided to write my first post. I am interested in starting a website eerily similar to AirBNB and was wondering exactly what languages I would need to know to get the back end working. I’m a novice and learning at a snails pace so I would like to eventually hire someone to take care of this for me,.

The website will operate just as airbnb does. Allows hosts to post listings, and then allows users to reserve these listings, while allowing the website to collect a commission off of these transactions.

I’m doing this on a bootstrapped budget so the more informed I am the better I can guide this project.

This community seems awesome and I’m looking forward to networking.

Backend? Ruby. Ideally SQL too, but you can probably avoid that in the beginning. You'll need to learn the "front-end" (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) as well.

It might be more cost-effective to hire someone up front to guide you through the initial setup and some preliminary development.

Otherwise, you'll be paying someone to clean up after the fact :slight_smile:

Good luck!
