Are you not able to program WordPress/Genesis website in places that down have an internet connection?

I was watching a video and it says all of WordPress is done online. Is there really no way to program offline using WordPress?

To Develop a Wordpress site on you local environment you need access to a local PHP server and MySQL server.

If you are a Mac user I suggest MAMP ( http://www.mamp.info/en/ ) , if you run Windows WAMP should work for you ( http://www.wampserver.com/en/ ).

These local PHP servers and MySQL servers are industry standard and should get your local Wordpress site up and running in no time.

We will be recommending DesktopServer in an upcoming course on WordPress workflow. http://serverpress.com - the paid version has everything needed to do advanced maneuvers.

I have been using ServerPress to work through the WordPress courses on my local computer. There is a free version and it is pretty easy to use.
