I just want to add one more thing - those software package is usually for professionals who know the basic so you're getting way way ahead there. It would be pretty tough to teach you those stuff for starters.
As for starter in web developing.... stick with the basic tools first:
1. notepad
2. firefox with web developer add-ons
3. GIMP (free alternative of photoshop)
4. choosing the languages. most popular is HTML + CSS and that's the first thing you should learn masterfully. Then it's up to you at the end cuz there are many languages that branch out from it such as PHP, ASP, etc. You can learn all of it but I do not recommend that because it's pretty hard... unless you're pretty talented at programming. You just need to learn the right tool for your specific web style and be master at it. I don't know what do you want in web developing: Are you database-oriented? graphic-oriented? etc. Each language is good for certain task.
lastly.... there are plenty of tutorials in google and books. Barnes and Nobles have plenty of good books. Pick one that you're comfortable with. All of it are relatively good but explains same thing differently so it depends on each reader's style and understanding.
once you master those basic... feel free to get those software package (but you already got it). You can EASILY and QUICKLY learn the functions that this powerful software provide and also to understand its weakness.
Since you bought photoshop and indesign along with dreamweaver... my assumption is that you're geared toward to marketing field... publishing stuff. am I right?
