 Coding Wordpress?
Im wanting to code a template into wordpress. I have the template coded in xHTML/CSS. Is there an easy way to just plug the code in?

Kind of. Have a look at the code for the default wordpress theme and see how the wordpress code and your html code is integrated.

I learned coding WP themes first by editing existing themes. Back then, whenever I use a WP theme, I always want to change something so I had to edit the code.

I start off with the default template and simply replace the XHTML/CSS as I need too. Sometimes you can get away with just editing the CSS also.
The wordpress Codex is of really good help though if you get stuck, it's just a matter of spliting your XHTML/CSS template in sections (header/content/sidebar/footer/comments etc) and then replacing content .e.g 'heade here" with the wordpress PHP functions, e.g. <? wp_header(); ?>

learn the basics of php so you can figure out what their code is doing. i just code my designs as static html first, then drop in the variables/loops as i need them.

webdesignerwall.com just came out with a complete serious of wordpress template tutorials, and in my opinion, the best one out there.
His way of writing the tutorial I think covers just how you described it, 'to plug it into the layout'

I learned by editing the default theme to see what does what. You might also want to try to edit more advance themes that deal with different plugins and scripts.
