What I am aiming to do
I am organizing a big event with many invited friends. This big event is subdivided into smaller sub-events and I need to send out a questionnaire to know who wants to come to which sub-event (and where do they want to sleep) and then send an invoice for paying the amount corresponding to the sub-events they registered for.
My computer skills
I can code in Bash and in a series of other programming languages (C, C++, R, Python, Julia and Mathematica). I have some knowledge in HTML and CSS but know nothing about Javascript. Globally speaking, I know little about anything that involves the internet!
How I think about doing it
I am thinking about using a Google Form to record the answers. Then, I would have a Bash script that would:
- Download the answers every 3 minutes
- Check if there are new answers in the past 3 minutes
- Calculate their bill
- Send an email with a paypal invoice.
I am currently having issues with this last part (see this post), Google Form is not as flexible as I would like it to be and the whole process seems a little cumbersome to me.
Can you think of a better solution for someone like me who knows nothing about Javascript?
For what you need Javascript? You don't need it. – kenorb – 2015-10-12T23:28:08.560
