Hi
there, Last year I create an account WDF and I completly forgot about it. I registered one year ago and I haven't posted in one year so a new introduction is needed... 'ish. Essentially, I am someone who enjoys computer programming (website development), website design, graphics, mathematics, computer hardware, reading, and chess. And a lot of green tea. I don't know why I became inactive but I hope to contribute to the forum, learn, have dicussions and conversations, and enjoy myself whilst I'm here. Also, I created a topic last year on "How the internet works" and I hope to get around to that ASAP. Sorry, I didn't know how to write this so it's awkward for all of us.

"How the internet works"
In my Introduction I said that I wanted to contribute to the community. That's how these type of things work right? I stated that I would be making a document called "How the internet works". This forum is explicitly target at individuals who want to discuss and learn about website design (I assume from the domain name). It's a great thing really; it makes websites, and makes webpages look "good". But how can I see this? I mean, how am I connected to this website? Why is "placed" and "designed" as the creator intended it to be? The answers are quite obvious: HTML, CSS, internet - which isn't wrong. But if I asked you to explain... could you? It's not something you need to really know. If you're good with Photoshop and other software, you're essentially sorted (excluding hardware knowledge). But it's nice to know how things work and something you can understand and explain. This is why I feel like I need to create this document: for the "noobs", people who wonder "how", who are generally interested; even the pros. I haven't yet created, or even started it due to work and other priorities. But I'll let to give you an insight into what you'll be reading (if you're interested): Internet Protocol TCP/IP Hypertext HTML CSS Markup languages WWW PTP Computer Network (Network topology may be included) WAN LAN ISP Web hosting Domain structure Domain name registrar Web/Mail/Proxy servers Router Modem Browser Email HTTP/HTTPS/SMTP ARPANET (4li4s - recently read up on this. Very nice) Not everything on this list is a "need to know" and surely everything is not here; but it gives a very accurate explanation of it all. The internet is a pretty big and complex place). There isn't a date for this, but hopefully it shall be done within two weeks. (I didn't know where to post this, so just move it to its proper location). Any questions regarding this, just ask.

Aloha
Greetings from Merseyside, I'm called Rasheed, otherwise known as sheshe. I started doing web design and development at the age of 13, but stopped at the age of (late) 15 - I was a very arrogant and stupid child who robbed designs, code, graphics, and didn't study anything at all (I was quite bad). But now that I have "matured" and "grown up" I wish to get back into both design and development. I'm currently in sixth form and have completed my first year at my academy, achieve myself an A*. I study web architecture, computer graphics, computer systems, websites, the IT industry and computer security. I study these topics in-and-outside of school, along with computer science, mathematics, and most recently, physics. I also play the piano and guitar. I've been searching for a reliable forum with a good community, and WDF seems to have both. I wish to contribute to the community (I am currently in the making of "how the internet works" for people who want to know... how it works) and learn from people. So again... hello.
