Python course recommendation?

Could anyone recommend a personal Python track/course to help me achieve the following?

I'd like to build a web application that can import a text of any given length, and automatically search for specific words and phrases and highlight them.

The words and phrases to be highlighted would come from a large predefined database of categorised word lists. For example "animals", "colors", etc.

I have no prior programming knowledge. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

With "no prior programming knowledge" I think Beginning Python would be the logical place to start, regardless of your ultimate application-specific goals.

And following that, Intermediate Python. And by the time you complete that, you'll be better able to choose your continuing direction.
