when i turned on template path hints, i saw the .phtml links forex: 

frontend\base\default\template\page/1column.phtml

which means page is the module which located on app/design/frontend\base\default\layout\page.xml

so i thought the block settings is on the XML while the code is on the template path

on the other hand when i turned on Add block name to hints it came out Mage_Page_Block_Html which i can found on App\code\core/mage/page/block/html.php

so i thought the block code is on 1column.pthml and what is html.php code contains? why is it differs?

app/code contains all class files in that where you can create your own module to.

app/design contains all phtml files language file and layout files

There is no app/skin folder.

The skin folder is/should always be located under the root folder, on the same level as the app folder. Otherwise Magento won't work correctly.

Maybe you mean the app/design folder?

In any case:

  • app/code holds the logic for the Magento core and custom modules
  • app/design holds layout and template files both for Magento core and custom modules
  • skin folder has the CSS, JS and images
