OK, he's definitely an alien.

They've got nothing on Nothing, Arizona[^]. 
I'll be driving through there in two weeks, but there's no good reason to stop. Nothing to see.

Hi,
I've started about 3 weeks back with an online course regarding Web Development with Html5 and CSS3.
It's 10 modules, attempting to go all the way from introduction to responsive design, using WordPress as content management system, project planning / design (wireframes and site maps), up to creating and using plugins, using paypal, and marketing on google.
Now I feel module one was very scant, most of the module was spent on setting up wordpress on your domain, introducing open source and all about licences, etc.
The assignment concentrated on licencing cenarios, i.e. Which licence(s) or ownership rights did George Hotz broke through hacking the iPhone and auctioning it? Give one reason for each software license that you mention. and Did he comply with the Open Source movement's ideas.
Module 2 touched on Html5 and CSS3, Media queries etc.
Module 3 is about wireframes and site maps, planning your site, etc.
I wonder if they try too much in one cource? Isn't it true that Web Development has evolved into more specialised areas, i.e. visual design, Content design, coding, etc. I must admit I'm a bit lost regarding the wireframe and sitemap idea. I'm blind, so visual tools tend not to help me a lot.
If I see a site map as a treeview indicating the relations between pages, and a wireframe as a formatted word document with your header/footer areas, an area for content, a table indicating site navigation, and another maybe for menus, am I so far off the mark? 
I only hope I can find enough from this course to make it worth while, since I'm interested in the coding part, but understand that you need to have an idea regarding the rest.
Luckaly it's more for my own curiosity, I develop desktop applications for the day job.
By the way, the collection of articles Learn CSS3 and HTML5 on CP is great, in a sence, it's more worth than the course notes we got... cool

The course sounds like an excellent intro, but your impression is correct; it's going to take a lot more study (and practice) to become proficient. Did I mention practice? Take advantage of the wealth of information here at Code Project, and practice. Welcome to the site!

Obviously there is, unfortunately for us

Hmm, yeah leading question. At least it was asked in the general questions. I liked the smart phone answer, I would have gone with 56K modem plugged into a phone socket myself!

Seemed an odd question for what is, essentially, a site for coders.
I know there's an admin/networking section, but this almost seems on a par with "how do I switch my PC on"

Hmm, I have a buddy who is into Data Mining and this question seems to follow a pattern he developed, bot places odd/quirky message on board this then passes the reply's on to another stage, I just don't really see how they can expect to reverse engineer E-mail from ID's (but no doubt there is some way!)...

That doesn't work either...We have VOIP phones...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Ah yes, but the fun that could be had with it!

I'm really surprised, from your previous responses I thought you were quite tech savvie, but you've just given the game up - creating a sock account to ask this question 
Have you tried anything else?

So many IT Crowd responses that could be sent but I shouldn't.

I love that scene though.

I hadn't really watched it, I though "yeah, Channel 4, British Sitcom, paint drying, toe nails growing" type thing,
Saw that clip on an advert and started watching everything the "football fans" episode has me in stiches every time.

I remember that box from when Al Gore was showing it on TV, right after he invented it.

Amusingly, the first link takes us right back here.
Not only does it offer a way to learn how to access the Internet, but also teaches the basics of recursion. I salute you sir!

I don't see what's wrong with that as a question, in principal. He wants to bypass the company's proxy server. Maybe he is wondering if he could write some code to bypass it?
I don't see why it's so bad - I certainly don't see why it has been closed!

Awfully written for starters...
Too many of the Q&A's on CP are almost illegible and many ask questions that they could have got a solution for quicker from Google, or in this case, their company's IT team.
And in this case, the answer to the question (translated in my head to: "how can I circumvent my employers IT policies to access websites blocked by my company?") was obvious - there was no need to even post a question.
