Comment on Advice on the Choice of a GUI Library?

I recommend working with the web - HTML/CSS for basic interface designs and where those fall short SVG or Canvas or WebGL.
There are various frameworks but if you’re just starting out I wouldn’t touch those with a ten foot pole. You need to learn how these things work first, without adding complicated third party code to your environment.

Thanks for the code example. I tried going through web3 awhile back with HTML, but need to go through at least 60% more of the course and examples they provided on the website.
I’m a bit confused on what a server is, past “someone else’s computer” or “another computer” or “a machine elsewhere that is able to take and receive requests”. When you write a “GET” request, is this pulling from another file on your machine locally, but still using the HTML framework and WASM to have “Piece of code 1” talk to “Piece of code 2”? And this all happens locally on the same machine you’re using?
Currently I’m using the Kate IDE editor since Neovim made me hurl my lunch. Spyder was what I used for Python, but it can’t be used with more than one language unfortunately. I’d assume programs with functions provided by Electron are able to cache what they retrieve… Is the “server” downloaded alongside the application, therefore not requiring WiFi connection to use the application?
Hope my questions aren’t too out in left-field and thanks again for your response!
