best place to start learning programming?

[jay_gghq]

So I am a designer, I create the layouts all in photoshop and give it to a guy I subcontract to code them up and make them work. I would like to be able to do it all on my own. Where would i start to learn? HTML classes or is there another faster way? I heard dreamweaver is used to make a lot of sites but will it allow you to make adult sites with membership areas?
