Hello,

I want to build a web application that would allow someone to enter details about a cheque, such as payee, amount, etc and then print it on a cheque.

I am trying to get my hands dirty with code, making this application but am unsure where to start. I would like a basic overview of what components I would need to implement to build this application.

For example,

1. A web page displaying a cheque, with options next to it for entering relevant field information? How would I build this? A webpage with javascript?
2. How would I implement the print command? Would I need an external library or resource to ensure this?

Any links to relevant resources/reading material are most welcome. Thanks!

What I have tried:

I am willing to code but am unclear on how to begin this app.

The first thing you need to do is figure out which bank account you wish to draw the cheque against. You can then design your cheque with all the correct information, including logo, OCR characters etc. You would need a combination of HTML, CSS and Javascript to generate the actual cheque and allow the user to print it. This is not a trivial project.

Advice:
1) Forget your project for now.
2) Learn programming (if not done) languages necessary to build a web site: HTML, CSS, JS, ASP, C#, Python ...
W3Schools Online Web Tutorials[^]
3) Learn the usual frameworks used to build webapps: one page apps, MVC ...
4) Then with all that knowledge, come back to your project.
