I am looking for a tool with which I can make the html page I created responsive. Are there any tools in which I can just paste the page code and give me a responsive variant? I searched using Google, but no luck finding one for now. If you know any can you please share that information with me and everyone interested? Thank you!
If you want to do it without a lot of work use Twitter Bootstrap, it's very simple to use and have a good documentation full with examples.
You can also define your css margin, width, height, etc with % instead of pixels, but this don't always fit good.
You can use media queries for all resolutions you need, but if you want you're website to be full responsive it will give you a lot of work.
So the best choice is give a try on Twitter Bootsrap, and if you have any doubt, ask for help.
EDIT: It's not just paste the code and you get the resposnive design, you need to use the grid system but it's easy !
you can use bootstrap , it is responsive ready
You could try using Restive Plugin. It won't make your HTML code responsive automatically [i.e. you have to install and configure it], but it enables you to add these Responsive features quite easily. Have a look at this blog post as well: http://blog.restive.io/posts/5852603/getting-started-with-restive-plugin
Full Disclosure: I developed the plugin
Instead of using width in px, you need to define them in %.
This is the best answer i can give you based on your information that you have given.
You can look into Bootstraps responsive code if you want a look inside a responsive grid.

Have you tried a Google search on Responsive webpages? There are some good tutorials out there.
As far as I know there are no tools for you to just paste your code and it turns it into a responsive page.
Here are some good tools to help you create a responsive page

Here's the link to the page I made: https://thawing-savannah-89995.herokuapp.com/
This is my first webpage I've made without help using only a PSD.
Here's a SS of the area I'm having issues with and keeps breaking when I shrink the browser size. This layout was very difficult for me to think through and I don't think it should've been. How can I better design the html and CSS for that part?
I don't have enough rep at the time of this post to comment. Sorry, I would if I could.
I suggest using a thing in css called flexbox. It takes a little extra work instead of Bootstrap or 960 or something, but in combination with percentage units, and even maybe vh/vw if you want to be new age.
This guide explains it better than I could ever hope to; basically, it's a dynamic alignment system. Centering is made trivial, compared to the alternatives. Keep in mind, you might need some #media breakpoints, mostly to change the flex-direction.
It has recently gained almost (sorry IE) universal browser support. If you do care about IE, use a shim like flexibility.
If you do want to use bootstrap-like grid systems, there are better alternatives, if you want to look into them. Personally not a fan of bootstrap (anymore...) but whatever floats your boat I suppose.
The best lesson I learned with creating Responsive sites is to design how you want this to look on a mobile device and work your way up to the Desktop.
I can suggest that you use Twitter Bootstap or Foundation as well as downloading responsive templates. Read as many articles you can find about different techniques that you can find to help you best understand the concept of how do to this.

I would like to create a responsive layout using html5 and css3. After reading a bit on the internet I got really confused as where to start. From what I've read there are frameworks that help develop responsive layouts:
Foundation
Twitter Bootstrap
This is where the confustion starts:
What is the benefit of using these frameworks?
Where can I find tutorials that would teach me to go from PSD => HTML5 Responsive layout => and I guess then use the framework.
Do I need to use these frameworks?
These frameworks have lots of classes generated to set up a grid system really quickly and easily. For example, Bootstrap has a bunch of classes that help set up a fluid grid with each <div> or container having a fluid width that could be different compared to its adjacent container.
To go from a PSD to a responsive layout to using a framework is tricky, and a lot of people like to work from mobile layouts and create PSD's for those smaller devices to help them figure out what is the most important content and put that in the top of the page for mobile and more towards the center or with more emphasis on desktop. To move to a responsive layout, it's really all about creating a PSD for pretty much every breakpoint you plan to have, that way you know where everything should go and it makes it a lot easier. Using the responsive layout framework is pretty much a part of the layout design process, because you use the framework for its abilities, so it's important to know what the framework can and can't do that way you don't design something that is impossible.
These frameworks just create lots of nice features that make responsive development a lot easier and simpler for beginners, you may want to just make a sample site with the framework, and then after you could move on to doing it yourself because lots of times you may not use everything the framework offers and taking it out and overriding its classes is a pain. Frameworks get you started and learning and you decide if you are comfortable using them.
Happy coding!
Some of the work is done for you already. (If they do things in a way you don't want, then that isn't a benefit, of course).

What are some very simple CSS frameworks / design packages?
I don't need the added complexity of a combined HTML, CSS, and JS framework.
I will be creating only a few general page layouts for this site.
I'm building the site on TinyMVC.
I want very minimalistic design (mostly black text on a white background).
I'm planning only one and two column layouts.
I need tables, forms, lists, and other "basic elements" (use your best judgement).
**I wouldn't mind CSS3 with HTML5 in mind.
EDIT#1:
I need a grid system.
I need a CSS reset.
I made my last website with compass and 960 grid system. I was very happy with the speed and results. With compass you have a reset and much more. (a lot of css3 mixins like border radius and gradients etc)
Check it out:
http://960.gs/
http://compass-style.org/
an intro into compass
http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/88-intro-to-compass-sass/
here are some nice 960 grid sketches to help you designing your webpage in the 960 grid system
https://github.com/nathansmith/960-Grid-System/raw/master/sketch_sheets/960_sketch.pdf
Variable Grid System might be for you. I used it for some of my projects and it works. Not sure if I'm so much a grid system user, though. It usually gives you much more flexibility than you'll need/use. The cost of that is unnecessary CSS code size.
I tried 960 Grid and Blueprint.
Both were great and both were very similar to each other.
I chose Blueprint because it satisfied my requirements the best and gave the simplest and cleanest appearance out of the box, with settings that I'ev barely had to touch for my site.
960 Grid would probably appeal to many people also.
They are both so easy to test, that I suggest trying both, and choosing the one after playing with them for 15 minutes each.
You might want to check out Cascade Framework Light. It's only 2Kb large, has excellent browser support and should have enough features to fit your needs.

I am having a hard time creating clean maintainable HTML/CSS code. Is there an editor, book or webpage that can help me using best practices.
This is some examples:
Naming of divs and classes: You might have an area with a user profile. How would you name the id and classes? (#author_profile, .username, .userBirthday etc.)
Tags or divs: A lot of times I am getting confused on when to create my own divs or use a tag with id/class. Any good examples?
Positioning: 99% of the times I set a fixed width on the elements and use float: left/right. Any tips on making CSS positioning more accessible. I have tried a lot of CSS frameworks, but this has not worked for me. Always ends up with deeply nested divs and a lot of classes.
Here you go Web Page Development: Best Practices.
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/site-builds/from-psd-to-html-building-a-set-of-website-designs-step-by-step/
Start at Nettuts...where i learnt everything i know (pretty much)
You may as well use this chrome plugin called CSS Brush to check it live on the webpage. The context-sensitive-menu helps you see what all properties exist for a particular style and apply to the element live. After you have done with all the CSS, you may copy them all and paste in your CSS file.

I'm C/C++, Java developer and now in order to put some variety into my work, I decided to start playing with web development - i'm using django. However, I'm hopeless with graphics and advanced css. I would like to build and ship some apps with elegant and simple design. Are there any frameworks/templates which let me build something great looking without photoshop skills?
I'm looking for something useful like: http://960.gs.
Tacit CSS framework would be very in-line with what you're searching:
I'm hopeless with graphics and advanced css. I would like to build and ship some apps with elegant and simple design.
You include the library on your HTML pages and it will give the page a tidy and modern look by default, without the need to define classes to HTML elements or do any CSS code.
Here is an example of my personal page. Only CSS work I had to do was the inclusion of Tacit, and the page gets that look, working both on Desktop and on Mobile.
http://www.freecsstemplates.org/
Here you can find a nice comparison about responsive frameworks. In my personal experience, I've worked with Twitter Bootstrap on several projects and like it. Since I've used the other frameworks so extensively I cannot (or should not) say it's the best, but at least it fits my requirements and I find pleasing to work with it.
There's a lot of projects integrating these UI frameworks with web frameworks like Django or Rails.
With a simple web search you'll find a lot of themes (free and paid ones), pick what best fits your needs.
