I created a Python-based course called Real Python for the Web that begins with the basics (database management, server-side and client-side programming), then moves into Flask and on to web2py. You create a number of applications and go over basic conventions/best practices.
If you want, you can also learn the Python syntax as well through the first course, Real Python. Check out http://www.realpython.com. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have any questions. Good luck!
