Just signed up to Wordpress today and am already having several issues. I'm a front end developer, so I don't know a lot of php (I know some very basics). I tired to figure out how to add my own themes to Wordpress (basically I heard that you just code website normally with html, css and javascript like you usually would and then upload files to Wordpress). However I can't find this option anywhere, only changes I'm able to make are in GUI editor of current themes available in Wordpress. Can anyone explain how it works?
The general answer is no. Wordpress is built with PHP and content is served to the user using PHP.
Now, if you are just starting out and don't want to learn PHP here's my suggestion.
Find a theme as close to what you want your site to look like.
Then you can just modify the HTML, CSS and JS that supports the theme.
If you're not making drastic changes it should be fairly simple.

I'v created my website and I have been trying to research how to create a mobile version for it. However I thought it would be the same as scripting in notepad or sublime etc. Can you create one from scratch using notepad or sublime? Or should I just use the tools provided on the web such as 'Mobify'. (I'd prefer to learn from scratch)
Thanks in advance,
Noob developer.
If you have created your existing website from sctrach, there should be no problem changing it to mobile. Just add an altered css file, which contains the css for your mobile version. and add a javascript function to your page, which loads the css file depending on the device the page is requested from.
If you have built your site using tools, it is the easiest to do the transformation using tools.

I have built a static website for a friend and now he came back asking me to convert it to Joomla, I looked it up online and stumbled on some tutorials, but those tutorials weren't very helpful as they seem to convert home page only.
I've managed to create the home page and converted the main parts to modules .
Now how do I go about inserting the other pages into Joomla?
Appreciate your help
You probably want to create the old pages as individual articles and then create a menu item for each page pointing to the coresponding article.
Agree wih Bakual, assuming you are on Joomla 3, just take each of your pages into an aricle. To start you can just leave them all uncategorized, then later if it makes sense you can move them around into a more complex structure. Of course if you need a contact form etc make that instead.
Have you logged into the administrator? The Absolute Beginner's Guide on http://docs.joomla.org is not bad. I don't want to self promote but you could also Google "Working with and Creating Content for Your Joomla! Site"

I am working on a project (website) where I need to make a feature where users are able to publish a post, like a blog, so I wanted to keep the post data in the database. What rich text editor can you recommend to me, that is not very hard to use and that will replace the HTML text area?
Also, if I just directly put the content from rich text editor into a database field, what format the content actually will be? I am thinking of HTML string but not sure. So if it's HTML I can just echo the whole thing when displaying the post content? Sorry for that much questions and thank you for the help in advance.
I think TinyMCE suits for your blog.
TinyMCE is a platform independent web based Javascript HTML WYSIWYG.
editor.
Take a look at the site: http://www.tinymce.com/ Also you can give a try here: http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/full.php
I recommend using TinyMCE
It's pretty standard. I know it comes as an optional editor with Joomla! installation - so you know it's at least stable enough to be used in a large distribution of a widely-used CMS.

Are WordPress templates really just HTML styled with CSS in the context of the WordPress "loop"?
Thanks.
Yes, a Wordpress theme can be as simple as a child theme that includes only a single css file with some css overrides, or a full fledged Theme Framework which includes copious amounts of php and more...or they can be just your normal theme(which generally contains css, possibly javascript, and php files that might utilize php only to integrate with the content Wordpress provides into an html document that is embedded in the php file).
The best way to start out playing with themes is to begin making child themes based off a theme like twentyten or twentyeleven made by Wordpress.
They are HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP
A quick answer to your question can be found on the requirements page for Wordpress, http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ where you see that php and mysql are required. If you browse through the developer and advanced topics sections you will see topics about the use of javascript and ajax in word press. I am sure there are other options available depending on how your installation is set up.

I am working in rails, and a looking for some resources to design visually pleasing HTML forms. I can write the CSS, so even examples would be great.
Any recommendations?
There are many resources out there, you can just google for well looking forms or something like this.
There are also javascript libraries which makes customized selects/checkboxes etc -for example a project called uniform - check it out, you might like it. It provides you tools to customize it.
You can try Gravity Forms for WordPress then you never need to hand code the html and it inserts unique id's and matching classes in the HTML. This means the sky is the limit when it comes to styling your form.
If you are not using WordPress, here is a nice tutorial for designing form layouts.
