Which stack to use for this first product (as a wannabe venture capitalist)?
I have no experience nor enough knowledge about programming.
My ultimate goal is to be an entrepenuer / venture capitalist.
Interestingly thougt, i have gotten an idea which i strongly believe could to some good extent succeed. So i want to build a SAAS desktop app with notetaking + calender + some databse requiring features in.
So after some research, I am thinking about java for backend programming, but for the frontend i am looking at javafx, JavaScript, and CSS. Which one should i look at, considering i want it to be customizable.
Also i dont want to be all-in programmer, but eventually an entrepenuer / venture capitals when i see some success - just want to understand programming such that i can see the oppurtunities from the techlogical needs too.
But for the app to get some intial happy customers, that requires that my app is not too slow if you know what i mean, at least considering that there are some indirect and some direct well-funded and established competitors.
What should i do?
Wordpress site (due to it's plugin ecosystem), and fake any and everything you can until it's unbearable.
Since you you don't have any coding experience, you're going to invest a ton of time in learning when you could be validating your idea and simply "be the wizard behind the curtain".
By building less, you will save a ton of time ensuring that you're not running off and building the wrong things. Most new developers get distracted easily and chase down shiny things, which is a detrimental trait.
Be the entrepreneur, not the engineer.
Uhm, but I think building this initial first product legitimately (lol) does bring a lot of positive reasons.
A big reason for it is that I though maybe learning programming could help me see more of the solutions and opportunities out there, as an aspiring venture capitalist. What do you think about this?
There are a ton of positives to coding your first product on your own... as a developer. But learning to code on your first product has an epic amount of negativity that you have no insight to because you're not a developer.
I think you're probably going to spend more time than you ever expected just to build a second rate product and will end up "going down the rabbit hole" chasing every idea you can think of.
I'd focus on learning to code before attempting to tackle building a legitimate service. If nothing else, it allows you to decouple yourself from the business side of things and focus on making mistakes as a developer and not as a business owner.
