<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.w3schools.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.w3schools.com</a> will get you started on making a static html page that you can open in your web browser.<p>A web server responds to a web browsers request for a document at a url. Learn about HTTP.<p>Then, you can begin serving this file, but rather than serving it from Apache or some other webserver, you can begin exploring a backend application server environment of some kind, perhaps PHP or Node.js or Ruby &quot;Sinatra&quot; (you mentioned Python, so there&#x27;s &quot;flask&quot;) or something just to get you familiar with HTTP and it&#x27;s request-response lifecycle. You will never leave this lifecycle, despite doing lots of fancy stuff in between the bookends of receiving a request and returning a response.<p>You can start with returning your static html page and move on to passing data back and forth.<p>You can then investigate persistence and how to store data and look it up via a database server that your applcation server can connect to, for now you can have them on the same machine.<p>There are a million directions you can take the general stuff I outlined above.
