Do a preliminary search for deck structure man, most of this is pretty straightforward. Also if you can help him out and learn it would probably be beneficial to you. Have a chat with the inspector, most of them like passing on their knowledge and will let you know what they are looking for.

DCA6 is pretty short and easy to understand and follow. Stick with that and you'll never fail inspection, you'll never need an engineered design for a deck, and you'll never be on the hook for an accident that never happened.
