![]() Which sites do you go to for useful resources about Web publishing? E-mail us your suggestions. |
Sites We Like Web Pages That Suck: Designer Vincent Flanders helps you learn good design by looking at bad design. He offers a new bad Web page nearly every day. Educational and entertaining.
Webmonkey: Billed as the "Web developer's resource," this site is a warehouse of useful how-to articles, tutorials, and cheat sheets. Check out the HTML Teaching Tool. It explains the basics, then lets you write and test the code right on the site. Useit.com: If you can get past the sometimes authoritarian tone, there's lots of good information about what works on the Web. Delve into the archive of Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox columns, and sign up to be notified when he posts a new one. Browser News: Useful summaries of trends and lists of other sources for usage data. Some tidbits: 84% of users look at the Web with Internet Explorer 6 or 5, and 65% of page viewings are at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768. These are critical things to know if you want your site to work for the largest possible audience. ClickZ Network (formerly CyberAtlas): A good source for Internet trends, statistics, and demographic data. You can sign up for a variety of e-mail newsletters, including the twice-weekly ClickZ Stats report. Stanford Publishing Courses: By professionals, for professionals. We're biased (because we're often on the faculty), but we think these courses are a great way to build skills and get an overview of trends in book, magazine, and Web publishing. |
