Visual Basic is a simple, third generation**, event-driven*** programming language.
A small snippet, for example:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Print "Hello World"
End Sub
All objects are put on a form, like bits of lego. When the program runs the code above, the text "Hello World" will be printed on the form when it loads.
It's considered a toy language by many, which it is, in effect, but it's also rather powerful, and it's a great way to learn how to program, for once you've learnt the syntax and rules of one language, all the others are much simpler (the rules are very similar because programming is a highly logical thing).

I build all my sites in Dreamweaver too!
It's a great program.
The web design tutorials will probably focus on tables, links and basic HTML to start with, and eventually move on to more complex HTML, stylesheets (CSS), and Javascript. I might also throw in some ASP and PHP.
EDIT: Methinks I might be able to persuade a few of the other website builders, like Leisha, to share some things as well. Leisha, for example, builds website in Flash - something which I've not really tried.
**third-generation - a third generation programming language is a language that uses meaningful text. The first generation language is binary, which is made up of only 1's and 0's. Assembly Code is the second generation language. It's made up of mnemonic's (such as LD [load], and BGT [branch if greater than]) which relate directly to binary. The mnemonics make it easier to program. A third generation language uses proper text which relates to multiple lines of Assembly code (each line of assembly code relates to a single line of binary code).
***event-driven - a program that is controlled by sensor or user inputs, such as clicking the mouse or pressing a key. Each part of the program happens after a certain event, such as a form loading, or a button being pressed.
