Yesterday you asked about books on "python, django, and web dev". That's a good start. Many languages can be used for web apps, it's more important to start and pull through with the learning resources.
If you go the javascript route, I like koa/node/mongo and vue.
Css/javascript/html

Node for the backend will also use javascript.

That could take you a very long way if you want to just hack out a product.

Given what you're going for, Javascript will be your most important friend, followed by css even if you aren't a designer, as well as html. It's worth also learning git. Still, you'll have to learn more the concepts, and even then you have to roll with the punches. We're all re-learning constantly.

Good luck!
