You can probably find a free course on YouTube that does something similar to what you’re looking for. If you are willing to pay a little for a course then Udemy is good (courses are often on sale for around $10) Some good key words to look into may be “vanilla js”, “git”, and “heroku”.

Getting started is really tough and a pretty big initial barrier (and rabbit hole) is deploying your application. But once you have something actually deployed on the web it’s easier to mess around with details (and learn!). You don’t even really need “git” and “heroku” if you use a hosting provider with FTP like Dreamhost…

Another key word could be “jQuery” if you go the JavaScript route
