you will find all the stuff u will need in the keeps tools of trade how ever there are other very good modding tools but if you just want the starting then get tbledit, mpq2k, mpqview and those should be it will let you do all basic moding.
UD --- i thought that if some one comes here he would already know atleast that 1 basic of all basics...

Ehmmm, a spreadsheet editor might be handy as well ;-) I personally use M$ Excel, but there is also a free program called d2excel in the tools of the trade, which is quite nice as well...

mpq2k will only work if you run it thru command.com or dos, a tbl file is a string table (text you see in the game)
