I am currently in the process of learning web design. I have learned Java, HTML, SQL, Python and am working on CSS and Javascript. I am learning these because the names of these languages pop up alot when i read about web design. So far i have seen the power of HTML, i can type code and open it as a HTML page and it's a webpage. My question is, what to do when you have all the tools to make the website? How does this website get to be on the World Wide Web? I have done a lot of research and i just don't think i understand the logic behind it. I see that i can purchase a domain name, but how do i bridge the gap between, lets say a simple HTML webpage and getting it to pop up on google? Thanks guys!
The domain register (GoDaddy for example) will point your domain to your hosting server (using the domain name servers or DNS for short), then your hosting server will serve your HTML/PHP/CSS files to anyone requesting them.
Using the submit URL link on google (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url) you can tell Google "hey, i got a new domain, come and check it out!" so Google will index it shortly (may vary between 2-14 days.
You need a server to host it on. The easiest way to do this is to use a cloud service such as Amazon's AWS. In fact, if all you are building is a static html/javascript webpage, you can probably just host it on s3.

I am pretty new to web dev, and I wanted to create a simple UI in Javascript with the Google Maps Places API to familiarize myself with everything. My question is, would I just make direct URL requests with the user’s variables, or would I have to create something server side, and if so, what would I have to do?
It depends on your application's functionality. Generally, you could keep all everything on the client-side. If you app is a server-rendered one, meaning you would be using a JavaScript framework like React or Vue, you could use just the website state to keep track of users' variables and send out requests to the Google APIs to do the heavy work.
You could also look into tools like Firebase, also created by the folks at Google to handle storage or user authentication. There are rich docs on how to include Firebase in your web application for your framework of choice. This way you can create language-agnostic backend resources that conform to all of the security measures and scales automatically so you can focus on the users' experience.
In case you would like to offer some less-common functionality or have complete control over the backend you could write up an API of your own and have it deployed on a separate backend server.

I am just entered this game since last December. Now I finished HTML CSS and a little bit of Java Script yet I got stuck at this stage: I can do basic styling but I don't know how to make it interactive.
So my question is :
how can I make a login function for websites, which can gives visitor an account (sign up, login, forgot password) that can do basic things like comment , add to basket and favorite a product?
Don't need to be specific, please just highlight which language is involved in which stage.
Thanks ahead.
Now I finished HTML CSS and a little bit of Java Script
So your site is what is called a static website.
If you want to allow login and data storing, you need a dynamic website, that requires one of this technologies:
PHP
ASP (check also ASP.NET)
Node.js (with express or http module)
Django (Python's library)
A few others...
All this technologies are called server-side languages/technologies, and the most used for long years has been PHP, that now has some strong rivals in terms of usage.
You can use only html/js to create a website. But, if you need authentication, post comments, a server side is needed.
A js can call easely an API to authenticate (server side) and post comments with XHR. You have to create it. You need to know how Authentication headers works for server side. You need to have a database (sql, file or nosql, it's your choice) to save the users datas and rights.

Say I have a Facebook-like website with a high volume of traffic. Now I want to implement something like a Facebook "Like" plugin(?) for my site that other websites can use on their site. Let's call it "Hooray". How do I exactly implement one?
Or how does Facebook, Pinterest, etc. generally do it?
To implement your "Hooray" button you need to have components mentioned below:
A web service which will consumed by the client SDK to report that someone has ""Hoorayed" the post etc.
You need to have a database where you can store who "hoorayed" what.
You can consider every entry as a post or say "Hurricane".
Now every post is unique so you can identify who "Hoorayed" what.
Create a web service which tells the user who "Hoorayed" what.
Create a client SDK. It could be a JS library for web applications or Objective C framework for iOS etc. These client libraries will consume web services which are mentioned above.
Just like FB you will have to ask the consumer of your "Hooray" service to register an app on your platform. You can generate an appid for them and then all the data can be tagged with that.
Obviously these are just pointers and you can create a much sophisticated workflow based on your needs.
If you go on the Facebook developers page, you can access the code for a Facebook "like" plugin in multiple languages and try to figure it out from there.

So, a while back I wrote a script in Python to automatically register me to classes in my school (by creating a browser with mechanize and signing in with my user/password and clicking the buttons etc)
lately I've been trying to learn JavaScript/html/css and I was thinking JavaScript would be better suited for such stuff, but I don't really understand the concept of how it will work yet, because the only way I've seen JavaScript used is linked from an html file and then run when you load the html.
I was wondering how would I create a standalone JavaScript to do those kind of stuff without html and how would I run it? (Do I download an interpreter of some kind?)
I could find information about that kind of stuff through Googling though i'm sure it's there I just don't know what this is called (tried web mining and web crawling but it doesn't seem to be it)
No, wrong use. If you are going to try to use JS externally to manipulate a browser page, you are going to have to open a web console on your browser then paste the code in, which is totally impractical.
Node.js does let one write Javascript that has full file system access, etc. to your computer, so this would be your best bet, but your question is pretty vague so I can't tell if this is exactly what you would need.

I'm on developing a new application. It is going to work as follows,
=> All the user will be assigned to a group.
=> When a user logs in, the home page will show a textarea to add a message with all messages of the users who are in that group
=> Somtimes it is possible for one user will be assigned with more than one group, in that case the user have to select the groups they want to share their message.
=> The message sometimes have images and videos as well
In other words a chat room which is almost like the facebook newsfeed.
Now, my question, is there any plugins or script which is easy to be customised. Flash, Javascript.
Or what I can do is send ajax request every second to check the database for new message, grab and fetch on the screen. But the only thing I'm afraid is will it makes the server and/or the app slow or dead.
Please suggest me good solution dear genius brothers.
There are no such scripts to create an chatgroup that easy, you can use ajax to fetch the messages if you like.
But websockets or Server sent events would be a much better idea.
However using Server sent events (SSE) on apache is also not really a good idea as apache will create a proces for each open connection. If you would like to use SSE I suggest using nginx
Link to SSE.

Websockets.

Well learn:
jquery
nodejs
And then come back with other questions.
If you can learn, then learn the following:
Node.js
Angular.js
Socket.io
Express.js
They can make your life easier and this app can be possible in minutes. Look for a demo on the angular site.
