Tutorials for designing primers and trouble shooters are equally appreciated.
There are a lot of tools. My favorite is PerlPrimer by Owen Mashall
http://perlprimer.sourceforge.net/
Marshall OJ. PerlPrimer: cross-platform, graphical primer design for standard, bisulphite and real-time PCR. Bioinformatics 2004 20(15):2471-2472

In general you will find useful information at http://www.gene-quantification.de
Besides that you should consider to use primers from publications or at least refer to them.
You can use Vector NTI. It's very user friendly software.
