I'm no expert but I've been using the web and creating web pages since 1994 and you just learn stuff as you go. So sadly I can't direct you to any definitive place where you can learn all you need. Having said that, I'm sure there are books and web sites that will help, its just that I don't know them because I've learned about the web incrementally as it grew. The only paper book I use is the, now quite old, "Dynamic HTML - The Definitive Guide" by Danny Goodman. If I do need reference material I tend to go to the W3 master web site since that's where the standards are kept and a lot of tutorial material exists there. But much of modern web application design (MEAN stack, JQuery, Ajax, Restful APIs etc) is not about creating new standards as much as using the old standards in clever ways. Those new technologies (especially JQuery and Angular) make web scraping much more difficult than it was previously because the HTML is changing dynamically as you use the page. Whole <div> sections may appear or disappear as you watch.
