[Dan Schulz]

Design principles would be an excellent choice - not only is it applicable to Web design and development, but several other industries as well.

I'm getting at least 500 dollars for my graduation (500 from parents + X amount from friends).

I was thinking of buying some product (any suggestions is open)

I was thinking Dreamweaver? Fireworks? Suggestions?

Perhaps some sort of "open learning" process might suit you better like one of those CIW certification schemes where you learn at home at your own pace?

Don't spend it on software there is lots of software that does the same thing as those programs you mentioned but you can either get them for free or get the educational versions. Instead of spending your money right away, use the money to make money, or put it in an account and save for a rainy day.

Do not get in the habbit of spending money as soon as you get it.

Lol I am in that habit.
I don't have the discipline to lelarn on my own, unless it's CSS related.

You really should just save it and maybe you'll need it down the road. Sorry but buying and software now a days is stupid, They are all so overpriced and will update every week with a new version that costs you to upgrade again. No i'm not saying use illegal means of software but there are other ways to get software that wont cost you an arm or leg or theres always a decent open source version.
