Default Wont start help needed

I had a new starter put in car 7 months ago, also had timing belt done with water pump, and other work done. Car was running great, started all winter, no issues. Then today I went to start car and nothing, no clicking, completely dead. Only thing unusual that happened was 10 minutes before I parked car I was driving and spilled a coke, actually a lot of coke, some of it may have leaked into center console. Tried jumping it and smoked a set of jumper cables. I am thinking it starter again which means more money spent on this. After coming from a Honda prelude this car has been a major disappointment and I want to get it running so I can sell it ASAP.
Any help would be appreciated, I am not a car mechanic guy so as simple as possible

Did you check the battery terminals and make sure one hasn't jumped off?

^^ Great first post, welcome to the club.

Also you may want to check ur cables, most likely your terminals are gone though.
