Next step to make form interactive with email

I finished HTML basics and have a form that does not do anything? Can anyone recommend the next step to make this for useful. Even as simple as sending en email with submitted information?

John;

What backend language are you using, or wanting to use for form processing? Are you using a backend framework or do you want to write your own processing entirely?

Well. I guess that's my question. I know some PHP and a good amount of Ruby.. Javascript and Python are two that I have NOT spent anytime with.. I have a simple form that I would like to send the details of the filled out form to an email. I don't even need it in a .csv file (unless necessary). I was on a roll with my tracks and Nick even talked about taking it to the next level in the video but then there was no guidance after the path ended. just looking for a little direction...
