Creating a CRUD website is supposed to be pretty fundamental, right? And how do I have individual user sessions with logins that show different content to different users? That seems, if not basic, fundamental to at least know how to do.

Should I hand-type static HTML to do this? Is that what modern web developers typically do? Will learning HTML, CSS, and JS teach me how to use a backend? Which backend language should I pick? Should I use a database? Which one? Or should I use AWS? Is all I need HTML, CSS, and JS?

PHP, is that a good backend starting point? That seems to be pretty fundamental, since over half of all websites use it. A LAMP stack, right? No? What about Python? Ruby? C? Rust? Arc? Elm?

Should I use Node? If so, what is the typical Node setup?

Should I use webassembly? That's a fundamental and new browser technology.

How do I compress and minify code and images to be served? A makefile, right? That's the typical way to build things in my software world.
