What software do people at Pixar use for design and animation?

Pixar uses custom built proprietary software that isn’t available on the general market. The software is not sold commercially partly to protect trade secrets from competitors, but also due to the fact that most people can’t afford the licensing fees. On rare occasion the studio will release freeware versions of the software, usually after the studio has upgraded to more powerful software.
For animation, Disney and Pixar generally use heavily modified versions of Autodesk Maya and 3DSMax. Presto is Pixar’s secret modeling/layout software. A software called Marionette is used for rigging. RenderMan and some other auxiliary programs are used just for the rendering and texturing process. It typically takes a render farm of computers several hours to render a single frame of Pixar-quality animation.
That is just the stuff that the public knows about. Pixar generally develops new techniques and software every few years for each movie in production. Pixar also collaborates with Disney Animation Studios and ILM, so the animators most likely have access to other specialty programs like Meander, Hyperion, Zeno, and whatever other tech Disney has hidden away.

What is the difference between UX and UI designer and web designer?

A bit cynical: UI design is the older term for UX design. New kids on the block disliked the ugly, annoying designs they were seeing, so they decided that, by renaming the discipline, they would produce designs less ugly and annoying. In the future, this will happen again, and UX (and the  letter X generally) will be disparaged as very old-fashioned and uncool. This will always happen because it is the nature of disciplines to rebrand themselves as newbies think old-timers were stupider than they were. But also it is true that by rebranding an activity, there is an opportunity to re-educate the world on why what you do matters. More serious: UX was an attempt to liberate users from the tyranny of cognitive psychologists, who themselves were trying to liberate users from the tyranny of programmers. UX has sometimes been successful in doing so, but other times it has only meant subjecting users to the tyranny of graphic designers. :) At the end of the day, what I want-...

Should I learn Front-End Web Development first, or Back-end web development?

From a practical standpoint, there are more backend resources and a longer history of backend languages and frameworks, whether you're talking about Ruby, PHP, Java or C. Picking the right backend language to learn will also teach you some basic computer science concepts that will be valuable. Database indices, data structures, OOP, and jobs/threads are much more prevalent on the backend, and they're important software constructs which are making their way onto the frontend (that is, Javascript and HTML5) where devs without the background will find themselves limited. The front end comes with its own set of challenges and nuances, but the skills there are a bit "softer", dealing more with rendering issues and design. I'll be honest and say that the  vast majority  of engineers, when moving to the front-end, don't bother with learning the design side of things, but at the same time the market isn't demanding the position as much, or  maybe we...
