What I've learned the past year at college.

Tables are "perfectly okay" to use in website design.
W3Schools is endorsed by the W3C.
All web pages on a server must be in a sub-directory, eg, only "index.html" should be on the root, where as an "about" page should be in a "html" folder.
Comic sans is a good font.
800x600px resolutions are still relevant.
The web-safe colour palette is still relevant.
CSS can take "years" to learn properly.

There's more, but typing the above has drained my soul and lowered my IQ a few points.

tl;dr: College sucks.

… and you study theoretical physics?

That's… god awful. Yeah, colleges are pretty shit.

Go to school, learn stuff.
Go to college, they tell you everything in school was a lie.
Go to university, they tell you everything in college was a lie.
Go to work, don't give a fuck about learning any more.

^ British way of life.

Same thing at my college, the teachers are all old and don't know anything about web development.

They teach ASP and Microsoft Access. -.-

Yeah, the college that I will be going to this coming fall has a pretty decent media arts program, and from what I've seen, they're not imbeciles when it comes to the web, so I think they actually understand modern standards. If not, I seriously won't take it, and I will call my professor out on it, lol

I knew I was doomed as soon as the tutor said "Dreamweaver".
