Dreamweaver – Its very user friendly and theres loads of tutorials on google which help you getting to grasps with dreamweaver.

That all depends on what you mean by web development. Do you mean actual application development or site design.
If you mean application development, you need to start out with some fundamentals. learn javascript or php then advance into .net languages like vb.net, c#, or even Delphi.net.
If you mean site design, dreamweaver may be helpful but there is a bit of a learning curve. Look into th basics of html and css. http://www.w3schools.com provides a good source of tutorials.
Dreamweaver is not robust enough to do any serious application development.

This is a vast topic and with a dozen ways to skin the same cat.
Whatever you do you need HTML. It is a mark-up language and not programming.
To get logic into your web page, the easiest (learning) route is to begin with PHP which is also not really a programming language.
From there you want evolve into Java or some other Object Oriented Programming like C# but I’d personally go Java.
If you think you are really gifted and extremely smart them jump straight into Java and never look back!
