I would say go ahead and just get started with the web2py book. Eventually, you will want to get deeper into Python, and there are plenty of online resources for that. You'll also want to learn HTML, CSS, and at least some Javascript (including jQuery) -- a good starting point for that stuff is http://www.w3schools.com/. For web2py learning, also check out some of the other resources linked from the website, such as http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5E2E223FE3777851, http://killer-web-development.com/, and http://web2py.com/examples/default/documentation.
