Some time ago I had accidentally found website which was apparently product of Microsoft research on fact extraction from the web, more specifically from the Wikipedia. Right now I would like to have better look into how it works, but the problem is i can't find it, maybe somebody knows what I am talking about and could give me directions or link to it?
Thank you!
There is a hint of it here:

Looks like MSR where sponsoring a Phd student who was working on it a few years ago. There is a link to his website, might be worth giving him a shout.

I'm teaching myself how to code responsive web pages for work and am woefully behind in some areas. Please be patient with me. I taught myself HTML back in the 90s and picked up some CSS several years ago but haven't gotten much beyond that.
The code itself (anything with -webkit-text-) keeps it from being recognized when I perform a search so I haven't been able to find out what this is from, what it's doing, and how I can make use of it. I have many other questions but for all I know, finding out what this is will help me answer them myself.
I am trying to build an application for smart phone devices. I have searched a lot over the web and I found some good toolkits, These are the toolkits I am considering to work with. Jquery Mobile and webapp-net.
The only problem is I need to kknow about the technical differences in html of these two toolkits. so if you please help me.
BTW this is my second account here, with my previous account i cant not ask any questions here, I want to know what are the reasons to close someones account, I am only here because I need help, and I dont want to waste anyones time. I come here to ask a question and then, some one comes and just does something to my account and I dont even know why they do that. So what is the point of this website if you close some ones account???
When consider Jquery Mobile and webapp-net, JM is elder and is coming from rich and stable family, that never ment webapp is poor, but you have much recourses and help from the net if u start ur work with JM.
I'm leading a small group of developer at my university and I'd like to work through a couple of ICPC problem sets from previous years.
Searching on Google yields no useful results, just page upon page of broken links and private .edu domains.
Does anyone know where to find these problem sets from previous years?

I have general question how to start developing my skills in web designing.
What is best place to start and what technique to use.
I have some knowledge of html and css, so far I have been building sites with already done all html and css. I would just use it and maybe do a smaller changes.
I want to be able to make html and css out of image that artistic guy produces.
http://w3schools.com/ has some great tutorials and you can play around with stuff right their on their pages.
A lot of the really "artsy" sites are produced in another program first, usually Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, and then 'sliced' into HTML div's. NetTuts has a handful of tutorial on how these that show the complete start-to-finish. Here's a few I found real quick:
Design and Code a Slick Website from Scratch – Part I
How to Design and Code a Flexible Website
New Plus Tutorial: Convert a Beautiful PSD to HTML and CSS
Coding a Beautiful Website From Scratch: Plus Tutorial
(the last 2 I think you have to be a paying member for)
Here's a great web resource to check out for HTML/CSS: http://htmldog.com/
Also, do a Google search for "psd slicing." This is the process of taking an image of a website layout (a.k.a. mockup) and turning into valid HTML/CSS. You'll find a lot of screen casts and tutorials that will walk you through the entire process.
Start by getting a book and look at some tutorials. Google will help you there. Once you've got a decent idea of what's going on, look at a site, and try to duplicate what it looks like. If you're curious as to how something works or can't figure it out, look at the source (preferably with firebug) :D
Good luck
As others have said, getting a good book on HTML/CSS will certainly help.
Also read up on Web Standards - I think its really important to start learning these principles from the beginning as it will help you write valid HTML/CSS... and avoid writing invalid code.
I highly suggest the book "CSS Mastery". It's got a green cover with a pink binding...I think they've recently released a new version actually. Amazing book for beginning and advanced. I consider it my CSS bible.
I highly recommend w3schools.com and the Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML. I like most of the book in the head first series, in fact. They take a fun very visual approach to learning & I am a visual learner. Lots of things to practice & hints to help remember things.
If you don't feel totally confident then definitely pick up Head First HTML. Aside from that there are a few websites I would recommend:
A List Apart,
Stop Design
and as others mentioned the W3 website.
Working with a designer often means that they will produce mockups using Photoshop and you will in tern work off those. As that is the case having a working knowledge of Photoshop will be very useful for you. You don't have to be a wizard but some basic knowledge will enable you to do things like create image sprites from the mockup and get information relating to the width, height, color, etc of the different components in the design. As far as getting up to speed quickly there are many books on the subject, the Photoshop One on One books are a pretty good series and there are video tutorials available at Lynda.com.
I started on just looking at youtube. A really simple book for learning to code css and html is get coding. It's for kids, but it's a great start. I started there about a year ago, and now I've developed multiple websites for a couple of businesses. And I'm only twelve!

Where should I point someone to learn the basics of HTML/CSS? I personally got my start from HTMLGoodies way back in the day, but while I thank Ken Burns for getting me going, I'm loathed to send someone out to that site nowadays as I think it's dated.
Obviously there are many sites out there that cumulatively contain all the information needed, but where to send someone new who you don't want to scare off?
edit:
I honestly thought I'd been missing something by not having used w3schools.com, but I see that within three pages of the tutorial (both html and xhtml) they use <b></b>. Damned shame they're not encouraging semantics.
Anyone know something that gets people off on the right foot?
I can't believe how many people are answering with w3schools. I couldn't recommend enough that people never EVER mention this place again. It is a terrible resource.
A few good places:
Addition for HTML5: http://diveintohtml5.ep.io/
http://alistapart.com
http://www.quirksmode.org/
http://www.thinkvitamin.com/
Not complete, but alistapart.com is required reading for any web developer we hire.
Also, never underestimate the power of reading the source on well-written websites.
I can't believe that people here are recommending W3Schools. That's the last place I would recommend anyone to go.
The one place I would recommend the user heading to is SitePoint. A lot of the articles there are aimed at advanced users, although the sheer quality of the forum and the beginner articles are too good to pass. I would also agree with Mike's recommendations as places to send a complete novice.
As far as getting the practical skill, the one thing I would recommend is opening up a text editor or a good IDE in text-editor mode and just writing a website to see what happens. Head to the Open Source Web Design page and see how others have created basic layouts, then apply that skill to your own.
HtmlDog has a good set of guides for beginners, intermediate and advanced users. It also has useful references for all things HTML & CSS.
I really like yourHTMLsource. Quirksmode and AlistApart are great. And Ajaxian is more advanced and wide resource of things.
I began on w3schools, however soon this site became the one I avoid the most.
Read this book (Designing with Web Standards by Zeldman)
To keep this answers to this question up-to-date, the Opera Web Curriculum is, as of 2011, the best way to learn front-end web development. It is comprehensive, encourages best practice, and is generally a superior resource for those completely new to the field.
I think you should check www.tutorialrepublic.com. This site has great tutorials on HTML/CSS. I learned HTML/CSS from this site and I really like this, they explains the topic very clearly.
Exactly, I personally started off on HTMLGoodies, also. I think tizag.com is more updated.
I can't believe that people here are

For me its a great...
Maybe isn't "the" reference website, but is a very good and practical cheatsheat about html and stuff...
The htmldom section is one of the best for me...
If you speak German, the best Site for learning HTML is:
