As I had practised as an interior architect for 5 years I was largely using vectorworks, Autocad, Form Z and photoshop as my main creative packages. I wanted to top up my experience with Illustrator, dreamweaver and Flash.
I find learning from a video demonstration so much easier as it is in the 'doing' and the demonstrative that I learn...being a classic creative (dyslexic ) this is a common trait amongst others I know.
For starters I found the brilliant Tutvid.com
http://www.tutvid.com/
This website has really good tutorials on the whole adobe suite and helped me get to grips with the web development process. Its free and saved me alot of money on expensive college courses.
Also fantastic is Creative Cow
http://www.creativecow.net/
I owe Richard Williams a good deal of thanks for solving my early dreamweaver glitches with quick and accurate responses to my often very stupid questions!
As I have moved further into the web development side of things and am learning more and more about CMS and PHP Java script etc I am working my way through the tutorials on Chris Coyiers CSS Tricks website.
http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/
Again, really good, really comprehensive tutorials and patient answering of questions in the forums.
Fantastic resource websites are

http://www.thecoolhunter.co.uk/

More to come...
P.s.....Favicons are still evading me. I am following all the right instructions and the little blighters never want to appear for me...any pointers?
