www.pageresource.com is good, as is this:
www.comp.brad.ac.uk/intranet/modules/IWT/, if a little patronising (the lecturer can be...).
Have fun

HTML Goodies
They have some lessons on HTML etc. if that's the path you want to take..
As a beginner I suggest Front Page 2000, not great sites, and the HTML is messy but it does the job for learning..
If/when you feel more confident then the obvious choice is Macromedia Dreamweaver..it has a lot of great features built it..it keeps your HTML clean..you can update links sitewide etc..(which is quite nice when like in a site I designed you have 2000 hyperlinks)..
Just look around and give it a whirl..and if you need any help just gimee a shout!

using a programming/scripting language such as PHP/PERL or, more recently a servlet written in Java.
C and C++ are good too...
I suppose pretty much any language will do...although seeing as decent webservers are UNIX/Linux, PHP, PERL and Java are best. PHP and PERL are usually included free (i like PHP better).
It's only 26p in England for postage.
Just download some cracks from http://www.astalavista.box.sk
I advise you learn HTML and maybe Java, or then again you can use a web based web designer like http://www.freeservers.co.uk

Once you get more experienced and have made all the usual newbie mistakes with browser incompatibities, horrible colours and frames (eergh!) you can start being sensible and use W3C-validated code and perhaps learn JavaScript to add a bit of interactivity (without making your site impossible to view on non-JavaScript enabled browsers, of course). And don't forget those DTDs...
Taking this approach may be more long-winded but it'll certainly make you more employable in the future.
you need servlets to use JSP (Java Server Pages), hosting including servlets is expensive
