though it is basic but still good question.

Preinit is called before the init event, init is called during. Personally I think it's become far too granular, but if your code is complex and across many controls, it helps to control the order of operations.

As usual, short and simple, but informative.

PreInit()

1. Master pages can be called dynamically
2. Themes can be set dynamically
3. Programatically add controls to controls collection

Init()

In this event, we can read the controls properties (set at design time). We cannot read control values changed by the user because that changed value will get loaded after LoadPostData() event fires.
