Making a simple upcoming events box

[ad_1]

Hello, I’m relatively new to WordPress but I’m pretty familiar with HTML, CSS and a bit of PHP. I’m currently making a website from scratch (developing my own theme in the process) and usually when I’m stuck I search the topic on google and most of the time I find what I need.

I have a box on the left side of my main content which remains the same throughout pages and I would like it to list the first 3 upcoming events. Only name and date of the event, no description, no event page. The name is currently the title of the event, the date of the event is a custom field. I don’t know if there is a better way to do this. When I search this on google, I always find articles like “14 best event plugins for WordPress” or the plugins themselves. However this seems too simple to me to use a plugin. Can someone point me in the right direction? Youtube video, article or something else?
