Web development sites Of course, we know you wouldn't dream of surfing away from efuse.com, seeing as you've got everything you need here. But should your cheatin' heart get the urge to roam, here's a handful of helpful sites to get you started. It's OK—we know you'll be back, and we'll be waiting for you. Snap.com: Web building
OK, I'm biased. I helped develop these pages. But just because I'm biased doesn't mean I'm wrong. The pages in this site
contain links to hand-picked, best-of-breed resources for just about any Web development topic. Drill down to the lower-level pages for everything from basic HTML to domain registration to Java development. About.com Web design
About.com's whole schtick revolves around its armada of user "guides"—real people like you and me who take ownership of a topic and cough up the best stuff on the Web about it. Kick
back and let these 'Net Sherpas take you on a virtual trek through the Web.
Tips, tutorials, product reviews, discussion boards,
downloads—if you can't find what you're looking for on Builder.com, you can probably do without it. Part of the venerable CNET network of sites, Builder.com has been addressing the issues that matter to Web builders since the
Web's infancy. Check out the http://www.builder.com/Graphics/Critique/ Site Critiques for real-world examples of how to (or not to) design and build your site.
As the name implies, this is a top-notch reference site for all things Webby. Take a casual stroll through columns on various development topics or check out the nifty Web tools (I'm particularly fond of Bookmarklets). But, frankly, the part I like best is the Internet License Plate Gallery. I am not making this up.
Slick, slick, slick. Projectcool.com stands apart from the pack in producing a cleanly beautiful--yet still intensely useful--network of sites. The space-themed interface makes
the universe of Web development uncommonly accessible. Especially interesting is Future Focus, where Project Cool's
editors keep a wry eye trained on news and trends, and offer their $0.02.
Time-tested progeny of the tragically hip HotWired site,
Webmonkey churns out cutting-edge tips, reviews, and editorial about a broad range of Web development topics. These tend to be advanced, technical articles, though, and even
eFuse.com editors have been known to get headaches reading them. Whether you want a crash course in basic HTML (using its clever, interactive tutorial) or a soup-to-nuts overview on
Web-site engineering, Webmonkey delivers the goods (hotwired.com/webmonkey/). Web Developers' Virtual Library
A library indeed! WDVL.com is incredibly rich with tutorials
and articles on just about any Web-building topic you can think of—plus about 500 others that you probably couldn't. The site is organized very logically and intuitively, even if there is no card catalog.
Touted as "Where Web developers learn how to build Web sites, program in Java and JavaScript, and more!" (Phew!),
Webdeveloper.com mixes tutorials and timely editorial to keep you abreast of the Web building issues that affect you everyday. Well, maybe every other day.
Yet another full-service Web development site, with a refreshing focus on the end user--who's looking at your site, anyhow, and what are you doing to keep them there? Not
surprisingly, the content being as strong as it is, Webpedia.com has been consumed by the monolithic Internet.com on-line publishing empire. Internet.com: Web Developer Channel The gateway to the full panoply of Internet.com's Web development properties. You'll find links to a few of the sites listed above, but also to several other, more niche-y sites, including Streaming Media World, JavaBoutique, and, oh, so many more. |
