AngularJS as your Fronend UI, communicating with services built with Loopback over NodeJs with MongoDB and MySql as Data Storage is my preferred choice lately.
Depends on what you need. If all you want is to provide some users a way to output content to a webpage, just install Wordpress or something similar. If you want to code it yourself, all you need is knowledge, and a text-editor. And, of course, install different browsers to test (Chrome, Opera, Firefox, IE, and Safari are the most common ones on a computer).
You stopped a year later than I did. I stopped doing it in 2003, but I didn't get as deep into it as you did. I was a mediocre programmer at best.
