I guess working in a limited product like VFP has its advantages: not
as many confusing choices!
There are lots of great books on Python for developers who know how to
code but who are new to the language. However, I would start with two online
resources: The tutorial on python.org (http://docs.python.org/tutorial/), and
Dive Into Python (http://diveintopython.org/toc/index.html).
As far as choosing among libraries, start with the standard library
(the ones included with Python). If you get stuck deciding, you can always ask
questions on the ProPython or dabo-users lists.

Let me ask you a question first: have you ever seen any web application
that had those things? I haven't.
The web uses a completely different approach to UI; you will not be
able to match a desktop application's look and feel exactly. There are several
JavaScript libraries available that provide some richer interfaces than you can
get with plain HTML, but they are still limited in what they can do.
Another thing is that Dabo is a *desktop* application framework, so if
you're looking to create a web application, you should consider a web
application framework such as Django.
