Once you throw a few input elements and a submit button into an html file, you can use the network tab in your browser's "Web Developer Tools" or "Inspector" to see how the form submission looks over the network.
You will need some kind of stack on the server to interpret the submission and do something, like stash it in a database or maybe in your case just append a string to a file. I like Node and use nothing but its built-ins for creating servers and writing to my filesystem.
Speaking of built-ins, python and php can be good too, they can create and interface with sqlite databases out of the box.
So I don't have an exact direction to point you but feel for you re: crap medium articles. I found it worth paying $25 to https://teamtreehouse.com/ https://teamtreehouse.com/ to choose from the many tutorials there, lots of intro content of good quality.
