This is actually a fairly broad question. Can you narrow down a bit what you want to do? Are you interested in the look and layout of web sites? Are you interested in the various applications that enhance various sites around the web? Are you interested in creating/maintaining the databases that store all the information that various sites collect and use?



Given that you are apparently starting with nothing, I would suggest you start by learning HTML and FTP. These are very basic nuts and bolts required for web design - and really all that is needed in many cases. Throw in CSS here because it allows you greater control over the design and look of pages with very little added learning.



Once you get those basics down, you may want to learn a scripting language like JavaScript, ASP, or PHP. These allow you to start creating interactive pages that actually do things. But you'll also want to learn about database management so you can save and reuse information.



If you want to go further, they you'll need to learn Flash or some other similar technology.



And there are nearly endless different combinations and permutations of what you can learn and how you might apply it.

Start from learning HTML, then XHTML.. and so forth.



There are plenty of web design software which you can use, namely from Macromedia, Microsoft and etc.



Good luck.
