Just as the title says, I need to catch up on Web Development.
For those that may or may not know, I did web design for a decent amount of time a few years back. I did it back in the days of HTML tables, I could make a nested table with the best of them, and the extent that I used CSS was to control the font's look and nothing else. Wish I was kidding. With that said I am familiar with CSS, and when I look at the Source Code these days of sites I am not completely lost.
So for the past few years in my career I have gotten out of web, and I think I may want to get back to the web side of things. Not sure but I do know I was not crazy doing what I was doing.
The biggest thing is I consider myself a multimedia-graphic designer more than anything else. I can develop so to speak, but I really do not like doing so, and I am by no means a hardcore programmer.
So here is my current portfolio based website, done entirely in Flash (yeah I know, everyone hates Flash, do not bother with that, I know I am behind the times just having a site in Flash, but I needed to get something up).
So as you will see and as I said, I was more about the design side of things and I know how to develop a little, but I never considered myself a developer.
Honestly at this point in time, I am trying to find more of a Director position as I have had in the past, so hopefully I can just lead a team of people, but with that said, not only would I would still like to know what they are doing naturally and do it if I need to, and more important if I cannot find a director position, I need to know how to develop it is becoming more and more apparent.
So my question is a very simple question. What sites and resources do people use nowadays for web development?
I have already found a few places myself, but if I google web development, I get a whole, whole lot of nonsense as you could imagine, so I want to know from the people doing it, where did you learn?
Again, please no comments about Flash is dead for websites. I know this, it is half the reason I am asking for help. And that is what I do consider this, help, so thank you very much in advanced to anyone that does answer me seriously. It is much appreciated, as this is not just a hobby, this is my career, and if I do not make a decision soon just what path I want to get back on, things will not be easy.

Blank Canvas Media
Here are some examples of websites I did back when I did them (all pre-2006) (all on my site but figured I would save the click throughs)...
Flash Based Kool Konnections
Flash / HTML Based Orion Fashions (Sister Company Of Kool Konnections)
HTML Based Agents Of Man
Flash Based NuVision Graphics
HTML / Flash Based - Pharmaceutical Company
Flash Based "Game" - Scooter Smash
