7 Websites No Website Developer Should Be Without
Are
you a website developer? Or maybe striving to be? Then have we got a
nice assemblage of invaluable sites for you to check out. These seven
are the ones we believe that you need to be aware of to help keep you
in the developer's proverbial loop. So once more, we ask that you give
a gander to the list below…you don't have to…it's not like a
requirement. You could stumble if you want to, but you might miss
something spectacular. Oh, yeah, there's some razzle, little dash of
dazzle. Just saying. Could be worth a few minutes…
1. A List Apart
A
Band Apart, powerhouse innovative production company with a massive
following. A List Apart, powerhouse innovative web developers blog with
a massive following. Coincidence? Yeah, probably. I don't really think
one inspired the other, but it could be the case. Not that A List Apart
needs any other reason to be the revered site it is, have you checked
it out? It's only the "The Blog" for web developers discussing content,
code, culture, design and more. Seriously it is an amazingly useful
site for those in the biz.
Blog.SpoonGraphics
is a vast collection of decent resources for web designers, tremendous
tutorials, fabulous freebies, and even topical up to date news. Hours
of useful data to get lost in are waiting for you. This site comes
highly recommended from the entire Arbenting team. Both of us. What can
I say, we're fans.
3. Design Float
Design
Float is the Digg of the design community. Need we say more? Well, we
probably don't need to, but since brevity is not really a strong suit
among the staff, we'll say just a bit more. This is a great place to
get all of the best of the best from design blogs all over the world
wide web. This has become a daily must read around here, and it will
probably be for you too, once you check it out. Go on, don't be shy.
It's just a painless click of the mouse away.
What
good is a designer who knows nothing about typography? Not to step on
any toes, but honestly, not too much. So many lament over the numerous
magnificent designs that have been devastatingly ruined by the
incorporation, or afterthought, of a lackluster font type. It can
detract and often distract from the originality and beauty of the
creation. To learn more about this underrated artform or just to sort
and sift through the splendor for some inspiration visit I Love
Typography. And see why you will soon be feeling that same way.
5. W3 Schools
W3
Schools is a comprehensive and intensive online learning institution,
that is quite literally, the best place to get started if you want to
learn about coding websites or any other kind of online content. So
many great resources and classes designed to allow the user to progress
and advance at their own speed and comfort. Even more advanced coders
still have lessons that can be learned or reaffirmed from the basics
and beyond at this wonderful and welcome addition to the online
community.
Edit: It was pointed out by a few of our readers that
W3 Schools actually teaches some invalid markup and overall bad usage.
So you actually may want to think twice about using them to get your
start. We're all learning together here so we thank zombieloffe &
bobachu for pointing this out to us.
Web
Designer's Wall is seriously, one of the best, and most visually
stunning, blogs on web design in the whole of the blogosphere. With
ever informative, cutting edge contributions to the world of web
design, this site offers post after post of pure gold. While writing
this post we tried to recall a time when we came across a blog entry
that wasn't helpful to us in some way, and we kept coming up empty. And
subscribers? Well, lets just say that they get their fair share of
fantastic free stuff from time to time. Oh, yeah.
If
you think this is a good list, then we are grateful, and humbly direct
you now to the behemoth that this list wishes it could be. But what
would be the point of that. I mean, it already exists. It's here. In
fact, many of the websites on this list can also be found at the Web
Developer's Handbook. A huge directory of almost every website a web
developer would ever need for any purpose or predicament. Seriously,
dude, it's HUGE! Web Developer's Handbook. Tell your friends.
Reader Recommendations:
Madison pointed out to us that DesignBump.com was left off of the list.
So, we showed you ours…what's your's look like?
