Web Design & Angular Js Tools - html

I am Java developer before but now i am starting to work only on UI. I have little experience with UI. So I need a tool for Html 5.0, css 3.0, & angular Js.

Taking the comment above into account it is right for me to say the following answer is based on assumption but here we go:
I'm not quite sure what you mean by tools but if you mean a program to create your code in I would personally recommend Sublime text or Atom.
If you mean tools that are easily available to you to test and play around with your code then there are a number that are available to you, JSFiddle, Codepen and Liveweave are just a few.
I personally use Codepen as it has a nice and easy to use interface and I like the community around it, the homepage features a "picked" section which showcases user created content, it does however seem to have a heavy focus on "pretty" projects rather than functional ones. The editor it offers allows users to use a number of HTML, CSS and Javascript processors as well as use libraries such as Angular and JQuery. I created multiple angular projects using Codepen so I know it is capable of that and it is also really easy to implement it into a pen/project.
I hope this has answered the question but please remember that this is all my opinion each one of these things has their own strengths and weaknesses and overall the choice should be yours.

Determine the UI library that a particular website is using

I am starting to build my own website using the Django framework. It has become apparent that in order to make quick progress I will have to use some form of external library to handle most of my HTML/CSS/Javascript, for example, https://materializecss.com
I have begun investigating different websites to see what works and what doesn't and I was wondering if there is a quick way to identify what UI library a particular website is using.
Chrome's 'inspect' tool doesn't really help me because I get lost with so much HTML.
For example, this website https://www.moneyunder30.com/category/banking apparently uses https://materializecss.com, is there a general place hidden deep in the HTML where I could look to find this information?
Thanks
There's a pretty cool Chrome extension called Wappalyzer

What's the programming language of BLOGGER templates?

I want to know how I can make my own blogger template to use for my blog. When I open HTML editor from Blogger the code seems to be a strange mix of HTML, XML and CSS. I also sometimes notice variables and other things. I want to know what language I could use to make a responsive website with CSS styles. I used to use pre-created templates from the internet but it seems better to get my own design and be able to modify it.
The Blogger.com which is a content management system that used itself for managing its content. Due to the related news, their backend (to see what backend is you can check the following link: Learn to become backend developer) is written in python and the frontend (to learn more about frontend you should check this out: Learn to become frontend developer) used HTML5, CSS3, and various open-source libraries of JavaScript.
But if you want to know what language you need to use to create a blog, I would say anything you feel more convenient with, that doesn't really matter to use which technology or framework, you can use blogger itself or other CMS creators like, WordPress, Drupal and so on, and also yes, you can build one from scratch with trending frontend CSS frameworks like these ones and JS libraries like these ones and at last backend frameworks like these ones mentioned here.
Also, you can find the best practices and examples in w3schools or css-tricks and some other known ones.

Practice CSS and HTML without worrying about backend

I'm looking for a way to practice CSS and HTML without worrying about whether the backend works or not, or whether or not I have to make the content. I've played around with javascript and node.js a bit, and although I feel like I have a (very) rudimentary understanding of it, I feel as if I should be learning HTML and CSS correctly before messing more with the backend.
Is there a good place to just write CSS and HTML? How did you learn them?
Is there a code editor I should be using (specifically for HTML layouts and CSS layouts) besides Sublime Text?
Well, first of all, you do not worry about how backend works if what you want is to practice CSS and HTML.
Easy steps to play around with HTML and CSS:
create a new file, say index.html. Then, just double click on that file or open with.. your favorite browsers (Chrome, Safari, Opera, Mozilla, or IE).
If you want CSS, you can attach it to the index.html by using <link rel="stylesheet" href="file.css">.
Note : You would only need Node.js when you are dealing with AJAX method like using XMLHttpRequest or $.ajax() method due to CORS (Cross Domain Policy. Other than that, just play around with HTML and CSS with the browser.
My Personal Journey to the Front End Web Development
About me
I am currently working as a full time Front End Web Developer and I self-studied coding for 2 years now (I started this in June 2012) from almost zero knowledge about coding. When I started this, HTML5 and CSS3 were briefly introduced to the public so I learned HTML4 beforehand.
Web is fairly a big topic if we talk about the full stack integration (from the browser to the server to the database). If you are into the front end (HTML/CSS/Javascript), start off with some online tutorials (link below), then try to create your own web product (it could be a website or a web app). Try to improve a bit by a bit, and if you ever get stuck, you can always google search your problem and try to find the solution online (usually StackOverflow).
About Text Editor
I think the best way to learn is to get your hands dirty with minimal code help as possible. This will force you to remember most of the syntax and in turn increase your productivity. I was using Notepad++ but then switched to Sublime Text (Currently Sublime Text 3), and is my favorite text editor up until now. I know my co-worker is using emacs or vim that has a lot of keyboard shortcuts. Personally, Sublime Text is good enough to write HTML and CSS. Link: http://www.sublimetext.com/3
I started learning HTML and CSS from these links:
Paid

Free

Hope it helps,

Have you looked at w3schools html and CSS tutorials ?
They have a very handy "Try it yourself" button which allows you to try out your own code and see the results very quickly. The tutorials themselves are also well written with plenty of example code.
For HTML and CSS, I would recommend the text editor Microsoft WebMatrix, which is a standard program for Windows. For learning HTML and CSS, check out http://codeacademy.com. It's one of the best places to learn HTML, CSS and a bunch of other coding languages.

gadget / widget manager

Does anybody know of any pre-canned gadget/widget management framework (along the lines of iGoogle etc) that I would be able to use on an ASP.NET MVC site (presumably loading divs via jQuery etc)?
In particular, I'd rather not write all the selection / location code if there is something decent already available. (I would expect to write the actual widgets / content etc myself...)
I was waiting to see if you got an answer on this one as it's something I'm interested in too. As you haven't, I'll tell you what I know (it's probably not so useful but it might get you started...)
I've used something based on the ExtJS portal demo in a previous project - there are some license costs involved depending on the deployment scenario though, and besides, it turned out to be quite slow and cumbersome, and rather tricky to customise - the default for the ext toolset is for the ui to be built entirely from javascript, not from markup, and while it was possible to coerce it into working on top of existing markup, it seemed more difficult than it needed to be. That aside, it worked well in the end, and with the paid version the support is very good.
I've also implemented a widget / portal screen based on jquery-ui sortable which worked really well - the basic implementation was very quick and easy but writing the code to save and load portal settings took more time than I would have liked.
If I were doing a similar project now, I think I'd evaluate this instead - it looks ok from a cursory glance and it's open source - it's built with jquery-ui sortable, so the core should be solid enough, and the slightly uneven animations on the demo version should be easy to sort out assuming it uses the standard jquery-ui sortable options. It has functionality to load/save portal settings too by the looks of it, so it should mean less hand coding that side of things.
I have used Telerik RadDock in the past and found it to be pretty good. It renders in divs and is relatively easy to style.
It doesn't cost too much if you are using it commercially.

This guy put together a great tutorial on implementing a iGoogle like drag/drop widget interface. Even links to a working example.

HTML Tables with lots of CSS

I am building advanced HTML tables with lots of CSS in them, what are the best tools out there for building advanced HTML CSS tables that could include dynamic elements like AJAX driven features (jQuery). I use Dreamweaver and Eclipse but they just touch the surface of having a really great tool set to build with. If you use a great tool let me know about it:-)
Seriously, the closer to the metal you get, the better off you'll be. On the Mac, I use TextMate for doing the HTML and Javascript, and CSSEdit for editing the CSS.
Best tool ever, either Textpad or Notepad++.
Both support syntax highlighting for a variety of languages, tabbed interface, etc.
Stay away from frontpage / dreamweaver.
Also if I may ask, why as you making HTML tables, I am hoping not for a layout?
I'll second Notepad++. How about an Express edition of Visual Studio 200x? You get some great design tools, great syntax highlighting, and it's free.
If you want a good free Mac editor, I go with WordWrangler. But if you want something that will cover EVERYTHING for web design, go with Coda.
For PC, I use notepad++. Not as slick as the ones for Mac, but it does allow for editing straight from the server.
But as far as CSS for tables specifically, you are going to want to do as much of it on your own, as tables are the worst when it comes to accessibility and semantic mark up, and that can only be dealt with by hand. Things like scope, colgroups, etc are never going to be WYSIWYG, you have to fine tune it.
Here's a good starting point:
