I found a great way to grasp CSS coding is to play with a wordpress blog - you can change the values in the theme editor admin panel, and see a live update of what you've changed - great way to learn through practice!

If you're good with html then you will be able to learn xhtml in about 10 minutes (that's how long it took me).

There are only a few tiny differences:

XHTML is just "cleaner" coding for html really. And a book that I am currently reading called HTML Utopia: Designing without tables with CSS is a great book that Julian recommended in another topic

I caught onto HTML pretty quickly, but didn't really pay attention to how things were changing when everyone started coding tableless so I had to learn how to do that. Honestly, learning it's not the hard part, becoming efficient at what you do is the hardest part of coding.

EDIT:: In regards to your question, you can code off of a screenshot the same way you do a PSD, just bring it into PS and slice away. It may be more difficult, but you'll get the hang of it.
