How do I find help/directions for the quickest or easiest way to learn to make an app for the web?

You need a LiveCode license that includes HTML5 capability. Once you have that, you'll see the web option in standalone settings. Create your mainstack normally, and then you can build for web. Move the files to your server and it will mostly just work. The latest DP version of LC 10 has improved web functionality a lot, but 9.6.9 will work too.

Thanks Jacque
It still leaves so many unanswered questions for someone new to this, for example, how does a user access the app? How does the web deal with referenced files? Even the idea of how to move it onto my server is not so easy for someone that has never done it before.
I would think Livecode offers some kind of instructions for this. I reviewed the online conference videos twice. I had to suffer through an hour of someone explaining how to make some kind of office app, without one reference to how this applied to making a web app.

It's all here in the LC Lessons:
https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/1 ... -and-later
There's a link in that lesson to connect to a similar article if you are using an older version of LC, but I'd suggest LC 10.
Normally you'd use an FTP app to move files to your server.
