What is Digg?42 Comments
- malkir, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Seriously, who is going to read through a list of 100? If you need something for a specific problem you google it. If you want to make an article that's useful to any developers out there keep it short and sweet, and hopefully not redundant.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14If you havin' tech problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but the net aint one -ping me!
- wcbzero, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Umm, its missing http://php.net
- jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10"A Web developer's life is hard enough without having to be constantly on the hunt for good web-dev resources"
Not really. There is a list like this every 24 hours on the front page of Digg. - ngmcs8203, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That's what the wheel click is for.
- angusm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Ho hum, another day, another list of '100 essential web development resources'. Why do people keep digging this stuff? Are our attention spans really that short?
- wwwdot1jesdotus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Don't forget Browsershots:
http://browsershots.org/ - WoollyMittens, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I'm a web-developer and I use www.devguru.com every day as a reference. It's not mentioned in the article though.
- kevindoc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3krugle.com - great for searching source code
- fant0m, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5ever hear of target="_blank" ?
These lists are so annoying when you click on a link and it leaves the original page.... - Daniel591992, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Well, not really. Let's say a friend asks to design something for free but you're too busy...so you point him to a premade design instead. Or lets say you want to make a proxy site to make some money, but it's not worth spending 3 hours designing and coding. There are times when making the design doesn't matter, but rather just having a nice design matters. Of course, if a client is paying the designer, don't use one of those templates...
- edwartica, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That's the beauty of tabbed browsing. You only have to hit the link once, and just open a new tab for each additional link on initial page.
- WoollyMittens, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Designers who don't have time to design?
- shanmac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Thx for the excellent resource list. Who said web development wasn't fun?
- thailand1972, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I use Google - it has millions of web developer resources listed.
- hoosierplew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2XHTML strict doesn't allow for the target attribute. besides, it is better to believe your users want the ability to click the back button instead of assuming they want a new window opened up. save your users' resources!
- martyFREEDOM, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Umm... Documentation and help sites are, in fact, resources last I checked.
- Wildog27, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Yeah, but going back to it after each one ups his or her page hits.
- Raiku, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Dugged for Reference.
- smee, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2A list of 100 if way too large to be useful. Top 10 lists, ok. I do web development and I visit maybe 5 resource sites regularly, this is just ridiculous.
- wheezy360, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Finally, an article with depth beyond the beginner level. THANK YOU! Digg has been saturated lately with terribly simple (and simply terrible) "web development resource" articles which were nothing beyond obsolete web-safe colour palettes, "top 10 AJAX scripts" (half of which weren't even AJAX related), and how to use subdirectories to organize files in your website. It's a nice eye opener to see that someone is taking pride in the article they write, and not just writing drivel to spam their blog (even if that is an ulterior motive here ;)
- freeicons, on 03/26/2008, -0/+0Great resources, Can you add my free icons site to your list
http://www.freeiconsdownload.com
Free Icon Download Offers Over 230 High Quality Royalty Free icons Set.
Thanks - osullivanbr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Thanks for the resources longdongsilver7. Very useful.
- Weip, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Click the link with your wheel button and a new tabs will open.
- AK444, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0May be this one also http://freevideolectures.com/webdesign.html for free video lessons on HTML, CSS, Server side programming, photoshop. Have a look if you find time.
- edwartica, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Really? I thought this was an article on how to travel faster than the speed of light and live to tell your grandchildren about it!
- mokkos, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1interesting that it lists PHP, Ruby on Rails, ASP including .NET but nothing from the Java stack.
- sirsteveh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Agreed. I'm starting to think there's an Inverse Ninja Law of Aggregation - the greater the volume of "programming resources" you have, the crappier each one is (because you were trying to meet a quota for quantity, not quality).
As a sometime Web developer (basically, personal stuff and stuff for friends with moderate databasing), I hardly ever find myself "searching for tools." Rather, I come across them on sites like digg (in articles _about_ that tool, not with lists upon lists of tools), and I determine whether they're useful to me. - WaageKade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0No great thing is created suddenly.
- Kardall, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Agreed. There was also one called thePeoplesToolbox a while ago that has WAY more things than this. Link: http://www.thepeoplestoolbox.com/programmers/php
- malexan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Anyone else get an e-mail saying your site was featured in this list only to find out that it isn't?
- nunzi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Anyone with half a brain who really cares about opening in a new window will hold control (gecko) or shift (ie) when clicking links (or use the middle button, which I turned off as a matter of personal preference). Myself, I hate takeover links, so my left hand is on the ctrl button 100% of the time I'm browsing Digg and any site it links to.
- jonlee, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1It's preferable for a link to open in the same window.
That way the user has a choice of whether or not to open it in a new window. - Buffster, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2This is a fantastic list of resources for all levels of web development. I would like to add Html-kit to it as well - I have found that a useful web-design outfit.
- OliviaHoman, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2Very nice and useful listing!
- v08i, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1really cool indeed
- AricC, on 10/10/2007, -4/+0Nice list unless your in need of ASP help. Where's asp101, 4guys, etc.... w3c and w3schools should be gimmies
- fcrow, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1offtopic: do Dell computers come with p0rn pre-installed?
- Daniel591992, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1I made some free designs that anyone can download. They're available here:
http://dodesign.us
It's good for designers looking to make a site but don't have time to design.
There are many more here:
http://www.oswd.org/
http://www.openwebdesign.org/ - fpcyber, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1Many of the links are documentation and help sites, not all resources.
- gerardwarmerdam, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1Web design tools and coding resources.
- scoreboard27, on 10/10/2007, -16/+7If Jay-Z lyrics, then Dugg.
