Hi, it is possible that the answer to this question turns out to be that 
I'm using the wrong tool altogether, so I'll start by describing what I 
wish to accomplish. If you just want to skip to the question, jump to the 
bottom.

I wish to make a small app that does a somewhat simple calculation which I 
do fairly often. I thought it would be a good exercise to make it as a web 
application, rather than an app for my smartphone's OS. I'm reasonably 
comfortable with programming, and am learning python (though I'm still more 
comfortable with Matlab or c++), so making the backend to the app is 
child's play. What I need to learn is how to make the frontend. How to make 
the form, style it to fit with the use case, add buttons, and tie it all 
together with the backend. Preferably also make it accommodate different 
display sizes. Once all that works, of course, there is a lot of extra 
features that could be fun to tackle.

I've read the "Overview" part of the online book, and skimmed some of the 
other parts. I feel something is missing, at least relative to what I'm 
trying to do? I would think that there should be additional levels between 
"hello world" and "how to make your own wiki"? I get the feeling that this 
tool is intended for far more sophisticated projects than what I'm shooting 
for, and perhaps I should be looking somewhere else? That I was supposed to 
have learned how to do these things before coming here?

QUESTION:
Is there a place where I can go learn how to make and customize forms? I 
know I'll have to become properly acquainted with html at some point as 
well, and if that is the answer, I hope someone can direct me where to look 
and learn? I was hoping to find a way where python and html were the only 
necessaries?

I hope the above makes sense, and that someone can help me out :)
