I've just been assigned to an urgent project for development of several simple web parts. The web parts will only have a basic HTML framework, with all programmatic work done through the SharePoint REST APIs and JavaScript.

I have never developed for SharePoint before, but I am comfortable consuming a REST API and coding JavaScript, so, where do I even start? I am busy installing SP 2013, but I would like to make some inroads before that completes and I start tinkering properly.

Thanks. I know just how endless google's info on this is, so I thought I'd ask here and get a more informed and opinionated response. :-)

Creating a WebPart is as simple as you create your custom control in ASP.net. Here the same logic will be applied but with advance feature.

To start developing with SharePoint solution, you need to understand the solution structure. Refer this MSDN Article

Once you read it, you can take a look at this link for Creating a Web part for SharePoint.

For your reference, take a look at this sample example link URL for How to: Create a SharePoint Visual Web Part with Visual Studio 2012
