Tabs for created categories PHP please

Hi All,

first of all i am not really PHP expert.

I am working on a blog website.

On home page they are looking for recent post to show up.
on archive page it should be all the collection.

I was wondering is there any how i can make categories to get data from recent post (which is on the home page) also same content on the archive.

I am looking for some thing similar to this.
