A cool tutorial to build a pretty decent looking button entirely from CSS. It is really great to learn how to use CSS for things other than styling a webpage!

HTML, XHTML, and CSS All-in-one Desk Reference For Dummies: Amazon.co.uk: Andy Harris, Chris McCulloh: Books
Not bought this book yet, but I do intend to! Reviews seem good, price seems fair and the quality and quantity both seem decent too! If anyone gets this book let me know how it is!
Introduction to CSS
W3 schools have tutorials for all the major web programming languages. If , again like me, you are new to this then after checking out HTML, you are now going to want to check out CSS.
Again there are a few chapters to this guide - but after completion you are going to find other tutorials etc. much easier to complete - you may even be able to produce something worthy of praise!
You can write CSS as you would HTML, in pretty much any text editor, I again used Espresso, but also by the MacRabbit team is CSSEdit, which will enable you to produce CSS style sheets with ease! (It does however come with a bit of a learning curve to use the application itself - but nothing which isn't doable!) Check out Macrabbit here.
If nothing here seems to be making sense, then make sure you head over to the w3schools.com site. They introduce every new concept and will walk you through how to use them. When you are feeling proficient you can always check out the other tutorials here! Good luck!

Introduction to HTML
Anyone, completely new to HTML, like I was, should go through the W3 school website. The cover how to use the most common of HTML tags and correct syntax etc.
Going through the entire tutorial, means almost 30 chapters which may take a day or two, however this isn't that long in the grand scheme of things!
To maximise your learning experience don't just read through the chapters, actually take part - use their 'Try it yourself' sections to edit HTML within the browser and see results there and then. It may also be beneficial to go through these chapters using your own text editor (theirs is the equivalent of using notepad). I use Espresso, and by coding even these simple chapters with espresso it helped me to learn short cuts and functions that really sped up my workflow.
If you have never even heard of HTML before now, then w3 is the place to begin. Don't let that put you off however if you have some experience under your belt, as there are plenty of reference resources available too, which will aid you.
After completing these chapters you will find other HTML guides and tutorials so much easier to follow!
