[SOLVED] Beginner that needs helps

I just started, dont know anything about web design really, so any questions that could be answered would be greatly appreciated.
First, what programs do I need to make a professional, clean, and flashy website and what coding do I need to learn? Since time is limited in my case to a little over 3 months, what should I start learning first? And lastly, if I wanted to make a content managment system that was easy for anyone to use, what would I need to do that and is it realistic to learn how to do that in 3 months?

Thanks and sorry if these questions are noobish or have been answered before.

Editor: There's a sticky in the HTML forum - HTML Editors - To start ... use something basic like Crimson Editor or Notepad++ both of which are free.

Code: You need to learn HTML and CSS ... both ... together.

Resources for learning HTML and CSS

As for CMS: You need to learn a server-side language like PHP or .NET or Perl to do that.

Or you can try wrapping your head around some pre-built ones:

Wordpress
TextPattern
MoveableType
...

awesome, this is something I needed too.

Ya thanks, I am using Creating Web Pages for Dummies and it very helpful also!

There loads of HTML editors, which you can download and do practice there. Try search html tutorials on search engines, you will get loads of tutorials sites with differently explains the methods, how to do it.

To learn flashy website designing, you need to install flash based applications, that helps in building flash based websites and for this you have loads of tutorials on net, try to search and grab it.

Content Management itself a free to use web design system. While install this solution, you can create websites pages, design with your own things picture, content write and so on.

All the best.

Have a look in the thread that Karinne suggests. I personally learned from w3schools which is again in the thread that Karinne suggested

I use dreamweaver when creating sites i think its pretting good and also i use topstyle and html kit

Use dreamweaver but do not get over-reliant on the design view. Use it simply as a graphical guide to what is being built. At the early stages of learning this stuff it is so important to get to know how html works.
You will find in the long run that html is at the very least, the foundation of whatever you build.
