I have heard subversion has some problems, and git is much better. I'm here to understand why, and learn how to use it. I guess I wouldn't mind helping the organization of this course.

I majored in philosophy at UCLA - not web dev. or programming related.
Played competitive tennis - also not web dev. or programming.
Work as a corrective exercise specialist - not web dev. or programming related.
Then one day I said to myself, "wtf is the internet?"
And here we are.
Location: Bay Area, California
Standard Set Answer:Blogs. I wanted to write blogs that loaded quickly and indexed well. This lead to obsessing over page-spead details. Once we settled that bit, I learned about hosting and why the one I chose initially lacked... goodness.
I didn't know anything about the web or where to learn anything about it when I first started. After reading a few articles and detecting a trend in "tutorials" which didn't teach anything except how to ctrl-c and ctrl-v, I learned that the tutorials supplied originated from programmers who copied other programers that copied others whom of which only partially read, or completely ignored web standards and how browsers work.
Since then I tend to stick to the people who actually make this stuff to glean any information, or at least try to understand how these geniuses came up with all... this. Pun totally intended.
When I share something, I hope to improve upon making the web faster and more fun to interact with. The web can transimit more ideas within a simple color set, movement, typography, and shape than text on a piece of paper in a fraction of the time.
