I started web building 2 years ago, i have a full time job in Automobile Insurance, and limited time at home to learn. Your question seems to indicate that you don't have any knowledge of HTML, CSS or Javascript/jQuery? forgive me if I am wrong, but if that is the case you definitely need to start there, especially CSS. It did not take me very long to get very good at creating great looking static webpages with dynamic javascript/jQuery. However I have struggled a lot with the database and server side of things. With the recent help of Anthony explaining how to properly create forms and query the information I am looking for, I am flying along with the creation my music website.
The best web books that have helped me in my 2 year process are: Web2py book (just started web2py 5 months ago) CSS 3.0 the missing manual jQuery in action 2nd edition (i would mention python books, but you already know Python which is huge) I also want to mention that having Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator are huge, when it comes to getting the website to look really nice. In fact it is nearly a must have when it comes to creating 100% professional sites, if not them something that does something similar to what they do. Although they are the best when it comes to Photoshop. By the way, long live Python & Web2py, i love the this framework more than any other. I have spent time with Django, Zend, CodeIgniter, Yii and Catalyst, Web2py is the best, period. I hope that i can build a game changing application that puts Web2py at the top of the list for web frameworks. alright.. back to work now. chawk
