I was given the task of creating an IP manager for the devices in the school. I was asked to make it a web app so we can put on the school server and access through url. I have no web development experience but I do have experience with desktop and mobile development. The most I've achieved is 'hello world' with PHP on a local server, but I need a full GUI web app. I know only Java, Python and C#. What do I need to know and where do I start, I have about a year.

What I have tried:

I've tried googling what I need to know for developing a web app and got no starting point. I had kind of hoped the process would be similar to a desktop app but accessed online.

Solution 1

Go on to Amazon and enter "build a website". There are plenty of books listed for under £20.00. I'm sure your school will be able to fund one.

You can build full web applications with:
1) HTML/CSS
2) JavaScript
3) PHP

You can learn these here [^] (worked for me). The top row menu includes one marked 'Tutorials'. Learn them in the order I listed them as that's pretty much the order you'll need to implement anything.
