Could someone please recommend a good book to learn how to create a multifunction web site? I picked up flash 5 fast from a text from a company named FriendsofED. I would like to really have a large amount of control over the entire look and feel of the site so a wizard would not help. So all in al this is very new to me what are someother options I could take. Here is what I need:

I need a text that explains web design,HTML, and java.
I need to know a reputable but reasonable hosting company
Lastly the smartest way to register my dominion name.
What ever else I am missing.
