Hey Sup Forums, a friend of my father hired me to make his company website. I could've refused but he's paying me 4k.
It turns out his company has become a lot bigger recently so he's promised a bigger payout once the site is online and ready.
The deadline is August, and I know jack-shit about web dev. I just bought the domain name from Google domains and I don't even know how to connect the DNS. I programmed some simple stuff in C++ and Python, but this is a whole new beast for me.
What are the best tutorials/books on web dev that will help me make at least a functional site by mid-2018?
Well, your father's friend is getting what he's paying for, that's for sure.

Just what kind of website does it need to be? Just home page, some contacts and info? Pay some Ukranians or Belarus 500 to make it for you, then keep 3500

what are the requirements?
In all seriousness I would just go with PHP for this one cuz if you're new you're gonna be on stackoverflow a lot, so might as well choose something many people can help you with.

I've thought about that
It's an accounting site homepage for the business with the contact us, services, business hours etc which sounded simple enough to me. Problem is he wants me to implement a forum/chat part for the customers to talk with staff or some shit like that. I would've refused to do that if he wasn't so insistent on it.

I don't want to follow a random tutorial and get memed on the security, then blamed and/or sued for that shit

I'm sure you can find something on github or someshit with a chat thing like that, at least third worlders would, if not they'd just slap googles api all over the place like they always do

Oh yeah those chatbox things are irritating. The ones that ping you and pop up? Tell him that a forum is far preferable because it's searchable and users can find their own answers a lot of the time
