I have been working on two web programming topics
(one client side, one server side) for over a year now.

UInfortunately I'm in the middle of a classic death march project
at work and just don't have any spare time to work on the tutorial
topics.

I wioll send you the introductory material that explains the
theory and a bit about parsing HTML, but for the server side
I don't have anything worth readiong yet.

That having been said one problem you face is that although
all of the server side frameworks share a lot of concepts
they all do things very differently. You really need to
understand the most basic CGI mechanism first but
then just pick a framework and work through its tutorials.

To understand CGI there are a lot of web tutorial, although
not in Python. But once you understand the concepts
 - which are pretty suimple - you can read the Python CGI
HowTo article and then move on to a framework.

HTH,
