Comment on Ask HN: How to build static website that displays database data

Comments

Before I say this, I have to say: I am not making fun of you or insulting you at all.

However, your question is like asking "How do I make a horse that is actually a car?"

The two things are just completely different. Static websites, by definition, don't have databases and constantly changing information.

So, it sounds like you want to learn some web development. I recommend trying The Rails Tutorial.[1] It teaches your everything you need to know to start making web applications and doesn't assume you have lots of previous experience.

Good luck! And when you make something cool come back and post a "Show HN".
