Project Management Dashboard

I am looking to create a project management dashboard web app where you can provide a status update on projects and then have dashboard pages - one for overall completion and one for each individual project status that can be filtered by project. What courses should I take to build that? I was thinking SQL for the database to house inputs, but not sure what to take to learn the front end piece and link the two together.

If you have no prior development experience or skills, and your only interest is the creation of a single web app, I strongly recommend that you consider hiring a freelance contractor (perhaps even a Treehouse alumnus) to build it for you.

The time investment to learn all the skills needed to the the job is probably not justified unless you intend to continue to be a developer as a career (or even as a hobby).

But with that said, if you still want to acquire these skills, I recommend beginning with the Front End Web Development track.
