Before the course, you are only expected to do up to Step #6 above - i.e., to setup your Render Account.

As you build your web app, you will need to select whether to build a static site vs. to build a web service on Render.

• (i) For those who do not intend to build a backend: you will need to use a static site. (For TechUp participants by default)
• (ii) For those who intend to build a backend: you will need to use web service. (For advanced learners)

We will get into these details during the course.
