Hi nasemabdullaa,
Just one quick point to add to the above suggestion. Although Dreamweaver in most cases will achieve a lot for you, there are many other instances where it simply does not do things in the best way. Examples include code formatting (dreamweaver randomly creates new styles at page level, in multiple different <style> blocks).
What I'm trying to say is that I personally recommend learning XHTML and CSS first before you use dreamweaver. By doing this, you will see how dreamweaver acts as a platform that you can take full control over. When it doesn't give you precisely what you need (or makes a complete mess of things), you will have the ability to switch to Code View and fix the problem yourself.
I know you didn't want to hear that answer but trust me, from experience it will save you many hours fixing things in the future!

Rouchie,
Good advice. Just one minor point:
"dreamweaver randomly creates new styles at page level, in multiple different <style> blocks"
You can turn that off and force DW to not do it.
