It all depends on what type of servers you are hosting your website on. If you are using Microsoft based servers you could use ASP to connect to the database (or excel) that you choose. If not, you will probably want to use jsp or php to make that connection.
The following assumes you are using MS servers and chose ASP. I am not much help with the other languages.
The database - since this is obviously your first project you will want to use something simple like MS Access. Search google for Beginning MS Access Tutorials. You should find plenty of resources helping you build the tables to store your information.
The code - do another search for ASP MS Access and you will find a lot of resources to help you connect to the database. There are 2 main types of connections. You want to stay away from DSN because it must be registered on the server and it will become more work if you want to change web hosts later on.
good luck. Let me know if / when you need some more help.
