Visual Studio 2008

[splendorous]

I am new to web design, but I am trying to get into it. Would you recommend Visual Studio 2008 or something simple to begin.

Also, flash website tutorials links are appreciated!

Depends what your objective is. If your objective is to simply set up a few simple sites I would start off with WordPress. You can achieve some great sites simply using some of the thousands of free templates that are available.

I started off with notepad, now that i'm using Linux I use gedit. My belief is that if you don't know how all the code works, you shouldn't be making websites in the first place, so that's why I ty[e it all. I did use dreamweaver for a while and hated it.
I learned everything I know by looking at the source code of existing websites (this is with no prior XHTML knowledge), and, more recently, w3schools for specific things.
