My 2 cents: Download this product and if you like it buy it: http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/ It is a lot like Eclipse - just better. And you get all the code support for all the new goodies like HTML5, JavaScript (it reads the files in your directory and creates code assist just like a java editor! If you use MooTools, JQuery etc... you can also import those for code assistance), CSS, SASS (smart css) and much more. There are also bunch of plugins that you can install (just like eclipse).
Then I would take a look at a reset CSS framework like Blueprint, Bootstrap, 960 etc... They provide "scaffolds" that make it easier to create columns and rows without having to use a table based layout. Once you get your head around CSS you are going to be like "man there is so many rules for different browsers and versions I keep repeating myself this sucks..." that's when you are going to want to look at compass. Compass lets you code .scss files which compile to .css files. And you get all this cool stuff like variables and templates. As an example you might want to add a box shadow to an element - then you have to remember what the declaration in firefox, chrome, safari, i.e. etc... But with compass you can just say @include box-shadow(var, var, var, var) and it will compile it down to all the different -moz, -webkit, box-shadow for you. And yes - WebStorm's code intelligence knows about all the "mixins"!
