First you need to understand the basic structure and file higher key of any standard wordpress theme like twenty twelve . Then try to make child theme based on it. You can see this link http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/resources/wordpress-child-theme-tutorial .
Once you are okay with child theme development you can take approach to build wordpress theme .
If you want to build theme from a html then you can also see this link http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creating-a-wordpress-theme-from-static-html-creating-template-files--wp-33939
Take a look at this page http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
It explains how you develop a wordpress theme from scratch. It's free to publish at theme at no cost. Take a look at the fundamentals of wordpress theme development http://line25.com/articles/15-tutorials-to-help-you-build-wordpress-themes. These arte just a bunch of tutorials to help users create modern themes since that is the key to popularity, I believe.

I have been trying to create a mobile responsive website from the 'Zerif' Wordpress theme.
Would anybody be able to explain how this would be possible? Below is my website.

To be honest, Wordpress is not the best option to attempt to create a responsive site - at least out of an already made theme. You would have to write a large amount of custom CSS media queries to achieve this.
Your best bet would be to start fresh with a Wordpress theme that is already responsive.
Otherwise, I'd recommend starting fresh and building a Bootstrap responsive site from scratch. There are several free, or very inexpensive, Bootstrap theme packs that come with hundreds of elements to use.

Good luck!

if you will need to strip all default css in a wordpress theme is it easiest to just create a new theme from scratch or a child theme? for instance if I were to be making a custom blog would it be easiest to use canvas as the parent theme? Or would I be better off creating a new theme from scratch. I have experience in frontend development but I haven't ever worked with theming in wordpress.
The best thing is to start from a raw theme.
I've been using Bare Bones several times ( http://themble.com/bones/ ).
As they say: Keep what you need, remove what you don't. It's totally up to you.

I have a Drupal site and I've have made a decision to migrate it to Wordpress. I want to keep the same design/theme in my new WP site.
I'm wondering what part of current Drupal theme can be used in the new WP theme. Can the HTML/CSS, JS be re-used? If yes, the how?
I don't have any experience with theming so I am curious to know this.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!
I see no reason why you couldn't do that the css and js should work fine with no modification at all. You will need to do a lot of work on the html first you will have to remove the php or template tags that drupal uses (Not sure how it does it's templates). Then what I suggest you do is take a look at another wordpress theme and replicate the structure and theme files. Take the html from you drupal theme and add it to the wordpress pages style it how you like, now you will need to do some research on how to get what you need out of wordpress this is often done with php tags so your theme files for wordpress will need to be .php it is best to have a header and footer php that you can include all you links to the css and javascript. Hope this helps comment bellow if you need more help.

Many times, while developing Wordpress plug-ins, themes or widgets, we use unnecessary lines of code and logic.
As the time goes we find and get better solutions for same logic which is tidy, simple and good in performance.
Here I would like to know such Tips & Tricks, that makes our wordpress development life simple and enjoyable.
(I will also add some of my Tips & Tricks here.)
Including javascript :
To include javascript in wordpress plugin,normally we use
wp_enqueue_script('PATH_TO_JAVASCRIPT');
But this include javascript in both front side and admin side of site, if that plugin is active.
If you want to activate it on only admin side use
if(is_admin()){
wp_enqueue_script('PATH_TO_JAVASCRIPT');
}
2 . Using wordpress classes, objects, functions outside wordpress:
To use wordpress classes, objects, functions outside wordpress, simple include wp-load.php file in your script
<?php include_once 'wp-load.php';?>

Regarding Wordpress:
Is it best practice to distribute a functions.php file (to be stuck in a WP theme) filled with helpful functions, or distribute a plugin for wordpress that enables these functions anywhere?
it depends. It depends on how coupled those functions are with the theme itself. If the functions are only useful for that theme, or you don't plan on making a lot of themes, just leave them in the functions.php file. If the functions are more general, and you could see yourself or someone else wanting to use them in other themes, you may want to make them a plugin.
Some basic ideas about the use of functions.php files in Theme Development at WP.
