If you know R already, then the shiny framework would be the best place to start.
If python, look at django.
Each has tutorials and manuals online you can search for. Shiny has a gallery of examples with code.
React native would be a more professional/production grade framework. But it would be helpful to know Java already.
Edit: JavaScript* - brain fart, thx for the correction
JavaScript* for React
This can mean a lot of different things, from pretty low-tech (mostly HTML) to pretty high-tech (production Python models hosted on AWS and accessed via API). Could you elaborate on what your goals are?
I’ve never built FP&A tools so I apologize in advance for what will surely be an incomplete analysis.
It seems you’ll need a few basic elements:
- dashboards, which can be done with a number of different JavaScript libraries such as D3 (or other libraries on top of D3). Either way you’ll likely be using JS because this is client-side functionality.
- data pipeline to pull in client data. Someone else on this thread mentioned Amazon RDS; that’s a very good solution.
- an engine to standardize / scrub the client data and also do the heavy lifting of forecasting. I suppose this can be any language you’d like as long as you can create an API for it to talk to a web browser, probably via a PHP script. If it were me, I’d just code the engine in PHP to begin with to cut out the middleman, but that is probably a reflection of my own biases / comfort zones.
- UI/UX design which isn’t code-based but shouldn’t be overlooked because financial software isn’t for the faint of heart even when well-designed and could become downright unusable if not thoughtfully crafted.
- data security will be extremely important - admittedly I know next to nothing about the specifics of how to do this but you will need to choose a cloud hosting provider and architecture that will pass standards and compliance at your target companies, and obviously this will be a very, very high bar if you’re targeting F500.
I’m sure others will have better thoughts than me but I hope these are a useful starting point.
React + springboot course on udemy
Agree, Udemy has some good courses for like $12. I did a react / ts node one and it was super helpful. Really made me think about creating modular code and using good design patterns.

You could try to develop a simple web app using what you know already (C#), ASP.NET and some HTML and CSS (get a template for the app, HTML and ASP can work interchangeably for some controls), host an RDS on AWS (design your database to get input from the front end), publish your app using ElasticBeanstalk. You could also get a domain for your site from Route53.
Are there any websites that have good free templates to use? I don’t expect to be able to create a full web app from it but more to learn some of the basics from these examples
