From where to start for developing a Shopify application?

Hello,
First of all thank you Chris for supporting students like me with so limited budget! I'm really happy to be part of this community.

I'm a Java programmer, and I know basics of Ruby, and really interested to start with Rails as soon as possible, I will start learning by Doing! so I have some Shopify app idea and want to start doing it.

Where to Start?

Best Regards,
Haytham <3

Hey Haytham! Great to have you. :)

Shopify actually has quite a few different methods of integration. There are all kinds of different things you can do with it. I don't personally know too much about it aside from just using their API, but I'd probably start with trying to figure out what type of integration you want to build with them. They list a bunch of the options here: https://help.shopify.com/api/sdks/shopify-apps
