just downloaded the Adobe XD and i think i am going to love it. I just have a problem Exporting it from Adobe XD into HTML / JS / CSS and port it to my code in Visual Studio, so i can do WebForm.
How is this possible.
Adobe XD has a plugin ecosystem where you can download a third-party built plugin to achieve tasks not supported by Adobe XD itself. For web export, I can recommend a plugin called "Web Export."
In order to use the plugin,
Make sure you have the latest version of XD
Go to Plugins > Discover Plugins > Search "Web Export"
Click "Install"
Hope this helps!
Natively, you can't (yet), although some external plugins can help you achieve that.
Adobe XD is a prototyping tool, ie it has been designed for producing the designs of websites and app before passing it to a developer that will "manually" build the HTML/CSS/JS out of it.
However, the export to HTML/CSS/JS feature has been asked before by the community many times and the Adobe team is currently working on it (check this and this).
AdobeXD positions elements on a canvas with x and y coordinates. This is not how HTML/CSS works for websites. You need to create an html structure and position elements with grids, flex, etc.
You could use position:absolute and position the html nodes like you would do in AdobeXD, but that will not play well with different devices and when you will do the responsive code.
There are applications and plugins that will import the html and css with absolute position, but there's not much you can do with that code. There's also Desech Studio that imports AdobeXD relatively, but it will not be pixel perfect and you then have to adjust margins and widths yourself.
Right now most people write the html/css by hand without any tools, because the tools have limitations.
You can use Anima plugin for that.

I want to know, how I install html and CSS on windows 10. I can't find any tutorials on yt or google.
I'm beginning to think they are already preinstalled, I just want to make sure.
Thanks for the help :)
HTML and CSS are both directly compiled in the browser itself. So it doesn't matter what version of windows you have. What you need is a web browser, like Chrome, Mozilla and Safari that supports HTML and CSS.
HTML & CSS are not languages computed by a computer, they are used in browsers. Every browser supports them but to different levels. If you want a HTML/CSS editor try VS Code, free and lightweight but fast as anything
They are not "installed" in a computer. They are processed by any browser. If you have unclear what are they just follow this little explanation.
There are three main languages used to build a website:
HTML: is a markup language used to create the skeleton of a layout.
CSS: is a stylesheet language that describes the style of the elements in the web page.
JavaScript: is a programming language in charge of making a website interactive, managing the user interaction with the layout components.
This is taken from an article I published on my blog about "What does a Front End do". You could read it here.

I have a project that was designed in Adobe XD. Is there any way to export or convert in CSS and HTML and use in code editor? Or I have to design by myself the code?
Thanks
This was discussed on the adboe forum:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2389490
You´ve to intall a plugin to export your xd project to html and css.
One could be found here:
http://exportkit.com/downloads
Or you just open XD go to plugins -> discover plugins -> and search for web export/html export.
Adobe is working on native solutions since there are so many requests:

But i think your question is a duplicate since this was already asked & anwsered:
Convert HTML / CSS from Adobe XD
You don't need plugins for it.
You can use Desech Studio to import the adobexd file and then you will get a clean html structure positioned with css grids. You still have to adjust the margins and sizes though, it's not a 100% conversion.
I need to create simple cross platform C++ project for rendering (displaying) html pages (let it be application that displays help materials). This pages can include some images and styles (css inserted in html). So I search for the best approach to have the next functionality in my project:
Possibility to show and zoom formatted html text;
Possibility to show and zoom images as well as text;
CSS support;
Easy to deploy - widget used in app should be lightweight and shouldn't have a lot of extra dependencies.
I tried to use QTextEdit. But unfortunately as the Qt documentation says, QTextEdit zoom methods do not change the size of any images.
Also tried to use QWebView there (Qt5.4). But after switching to Qt5.6 I noticed that Qt WebKit is deprecated and not supported any more. On other hand replacing Qt WebKit functionality with one from the Qt WebEngine is painful. Furthermore Qt WebEngine module is huge and has a lot of dependencies from parts that I actually not used (e. g. it depends a lot from chromium web engine). So I don't need full web browser in my application.
So what is the best approach (may be some lightweight widget that is free to use) to implement functionality mentioned above?
Thanks in advance.
I have no experience with this library, but I've heard lots of good things about it:
http://www.libnavajo.org/
It looks to be extremely lightweight (< 20 classes) and perhaps something that could work. The documentation is unclear about some of your other specifications, but it's something to try perhaps.
We have to build an app which should run on iOS and android. For expenses reason we decided to to it with html5 and phonegap.
Now we have to decide which mobile framework we wann use for it. I know there are already a lot of this issues and I also already did a lot of research. But I'm still not sure which one we should pick.
I've heard a lot down side points from Jquery mobile, but on the other hands it seems there is nothing really better, beside senche touch, out there.
What are your experience, what whould you suggest?
I'm looking forward hearing your opinion
(let me now if you need further information for evaluating)
Thanks
Building PhoneGap with Bootstrap and AngularJS is a breeze.
AngularJS provide a really nice separation between Route, Model, View, and Controller. Learn Angular directives and stop writing spaghetti js dom interaction code.
Bootstrap, though not as nice as jQM for mobile features (maybe until v3), still provide a nice starter CSS such as (navbar, fixed top, bottom, etc...) And if you know your css, then I think Bootstrap is more flexible than jQM. Combine with some nodejs build script to compile your less file to css and you are all set. Glyphicons is also a good starter set of asset/images.
I am sure you would have done a lot of research on this but from my experience I would suggest you to take a look at Sencha Touch + Phonegap combination.
The reason why I opted for Sencha Touch over Jquery Mobile is that the JM is quite sluggish when it comes to page transition and animation. Whereas, Sencha Touch provides you all-in-one place regarding building a rich mobile app with HTML5, CSS and Javascript. The only thing about ST is that you might require to learn some Ext JS which is used by Sencha Touch to create components. They do have a lot of documentations which you can refer to.
You can refer these links to kickstart on Sencha:

All the best! :)
We have just started working with PhoneGap in my studio and we are using Backbone.js + Handlebars.js and Bootstrap or Ratchet depending on the case. It seems to work very well.
If you want some more resources on that I will suggest you start with

I have a flex application to work on an iPad. What is the best way to convert this application?
Your subject line is a separate question from your post LizaM, but I'm assuming you specifically want to convert a Flex application into HTML5 and not something natively iOS.
If the Flex application is complex and you need to convert to markup that you can work with for further development then you might not have any options other than to get your hands dirty and start from scratch. Good ol AJAX/HTML (or call it HTML5 - whatever sexy words you want to use for the markup you're using to run on Safari).
There are tools out there (e.g. Swiffy and SoThink SWF Decompiler), but I don't think they'll help much if you're trying to convert rich Flex library classes. I could be wrong about this, but that seems to be the state of affairs at the moment.

If you want to convert a Flex application to the iPad, you should consider porting it to a Native App. There are plenty of tools and documentation for doing that.
If you create a Flash Builder Mobile Project, you'll have an output option for iOS devices.
Flex 4.5 can compile your air applications for IOS. Simply use the compile for IOS options.
You can also compile for Android, RIM/Blackberry etc...
