You can expect that these builds, by virtue of being pre-Beta even, won't be very stable, but will work. (Apart from a few hangs the app's performed very well). And a book? I haven't read this myself but <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/059610197X" rel="nofollow">Head First HTML with XHTML & CSS</a> might be good. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1590597478/realequaofinf-20" rel="nofollow">Beginning HTML with CSS and XHTML</a>, too, is supposed to be good, although I've heard it's not quite as friendly to the beginner as the name would suggest.

First off, you're going to India? When did this happen? Also, Microsoft I do not hate; just can't relate to them as much as other companies. Their Mac Business Unit and Phillipe Starck mice are great! As for web design, I use neither. Because I'm a Mac user, Expression Web is out, and Dreamweaver's too expensive (although nice, I'll admit). It really doesn't matter which editor you use to create your websites. The first step to learning web design is to teach yourself HTML and CSS; the first one you use to structure your pages (with content), the second one to style/design. You can try these <a href="http://htmldog.com/guides/htmlbeginner/" rel="nofollow">HTML</a> and <a href="http://htmldog.com/guides/cssbeginner/" rel="nofollow">CSS</a> beginner's guides. I myself use free tools <a href="http://tacosw.com/" rel="nofollow">Taco HTML Edit</a>, <a href="http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/" rel="nofollow">TextWranger</a> and <a href="http://intype.info/" rel="nofollow">Intype</a> (if I'm on a Win PC), all of which are free. For a complete list of what I used to make my website, check out the <a href="http://realityequation.net/index.php/powered-by/" rel="nofollow">Powered-by</a> post here. Hope this helps. ¡Hola!
