[Tutor] question / decision tree

[matej taferner]

thanks for the reply. I'll definitely check the book.

The back end solution of the problem is more or less clear to me. What I
find difficult is the grasp the idea of o called front end dev. or better
to say what should I use to make buttons should I dig into django framework
or something else?
