Since everybody who replied has done a wonderful job with showing you how to build a foundation and then build on that, I'll offer some books that I find irreplaceable. I have quite an extensive library of computer books, some I find great and some I found awful. Listed below are the books I highly recommend.
Python Books -Beginning Python From Novice to Professional, by Magnus Lie Hetland, Apress -Core Python, by Wesley Chun -Dive into Python is free on the web I have both Dive into Python and Beginning Python FNTP, I really found Beginning Python easier to understand when I was first learning Python and then moved on to Core Python and DIP. Database/SQL -MySQL & mSQL, By Randy Yaeger,George Reese & Tim King, O'reilly I have had this book for years, it is old, probably published in 1999 but it really gives the clearest example of how to model your databases and relationships. Web Development -Plenty of XHTML/HTML tutorials out there, no need for a book, just view source on some websites and learn - DOM Scripting, by Jeremy Keith, Friendsof, Apress - CSS Mastery by Budd, Moll, Collison - Friendsof, Apress - The one and only TurboGears Book, By Mark Ramm, Kevin Dangoor - Pearson In regards to MVC you can find a lot references on the web, but where I received my understanding of MVC design was from the Agile Programming With Ruby On Rails. This is a great book, though you may get confused with ruby idioms vs python's clean and intuitive syntax I suggest that you don't indulge into the Ruby Lang so much as you read about the MVC paradigm. You can always read about Ruby later if that is what you fancy. Anyhow, The books above have been my arsenal along with many others, it never hurts learning and understanding you operating environment either, so you may want to study some linux material. I come from a Sys Admin background like a lot of us have and with that experience it has enhanced my ability to learn programming.
