I've been thinking along these same lines. I would like to see a workbook to go along with the web2py book in which the concepts in the book are illustrated in a sample in the workbook. Perhaps it could be a progressive sample that builds on one of the samples begun in the earlier chapters.

You might find these resources helpful: http://www.w3schools.com/, http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorials/. Chapter 4 of the book is in more of a reference style than most of the rest of the book, so you might find things starting to click a bit more as you proceed through the later chapters.
