All I understand, are the codes for HTML and CSS are quite different.
I haven’t checked out XHTML yet, though what is the difference?
Which is best to use … and why?
To keep it simple, HTML is the basis of every website. CSS is a stylesheet which you can use to have the same fonts and colours for example on every web page.
HTML and XHTML are essentially the same thing, XHTML is stricter in how its interpreted. They are both used to structure a web page whereas CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) is used to provide styling information.
If you are just starting out then stick with HTML and CSS.
XHTML is not for PDAs and televisions. Its simply on a slightly different branch of markup tree. xhtml has its roots in XML whereas HTML has its roots in SGML.
Don’t worry about the difference until you are more familiar with HTML. Stick with that for a while and then have a look at XHTML. html is still by far the markup language used for the web.

Would it be better to use xhtml over HTML? How does it effect the backend programming if I use XHTML?
XML is a markup language where everything has to be marked up correctly, which results in "well-formed" documents.
XML was designed to describe data and HTML was designed to display data.
Today’s market consists of different browser technologies, some browsers run Internet on computers, and some browsers run Internet on mobile phones and hand helds. The last-mentioned do not have the resources or power to interpret a "bad" markup language.
Therefore – by combining HTML and XML, and their strengths, we got a markup language that is useful now and in the future – XHTML.
XHTML pages can be read by all XML enabled devices AND while waiting for the rest of the world to upgrade to XML supported browsers, Xhtml gives you the opportunity to write "well-formed" documents now, that work in all browsers and that are backward browser compatible !!!
