20 Websites That Made Me A Better Web Developer
As a web developer, if you’re to be successful, you have to have a constant yearning for learning new things. In an industry that evolves rapidly, you’ve got to keep up or you risk being obsolete and outdated. Keeping up with trends, weeding out the fads, and adopting new techniques to your web-building arsenal is an essential part of being a web developer.
I spend (literally) most of the day in front of the computer and even in my spare time, I choose to read, learn, and keep up with web technology news. This leads to a massive collection of bookmarked links, but through the years, there are only a handful of websites that I frequent.
I’d like to share 20 websites that have broadened my knowledge, expanded my skill set, and improved the quality and efficiency of my web development projects. Most of these (hopefully) you’ve already encountered, but if you come out with just one or two links you’ve never heard of or you end up bookmarking a link or two, I would’ve accomplished my goal.
1) Alertbox: Current Issues in Web Usability
Alertbox is Jakob Nielsen’s bi-weekly column that discusses web usability. I’ve been a fan of his for almost as long as I’ve been professionally developing websites. Most of his recommendations makes sense and is backed by real-world studies and carefully-constructed surveys.
His columns cover topics such as the merits of breadcrumb navigation to Top-10 Application-Design Mistakes. A great link to provide people when you’re asked about optimal web page design is the column on Screen Resolution and Page Layout.
2) TheBestDesigns.com
On days when your creative juices don’t seem to be flowing as it should, it often helps to look at other people’s work to help inspire you. TheBestDesigns.com is a gallery site to visit on such days. TBD has a few things that distinguish them from other web design galleries — among them are: choosing quality over quantity, showcasing flash-based as well as CSS-based layouts, and tagging each design with relevant keywords so that users can conveniently find similar designs.
They showcase truly innovative and skillfully-crafted designs and they abstain from showcasing the “yet another recycled web 2.0 look” websites. It might not be updated with hundreds of websites everyday, but having a strict guideline on what gets displayed on TBD ensures that you don’t have to filter out the noise to get to the signal.
3) A List Apart
A List Apart inspired me to become a proponent of web-standards and semantic code. Starting out, most of us probably didn’t care about capitalized, unclosed html tags (… that won’t validate with a strict doctype) or understood the real value of accessibility in web pages.
One of the major influences in my views on web-standards, best practices, accessibility, and usability can be attributed to a significant part… to A List Apart. ALA articles are high-quality and they only come out with two articles a month, but they are worth the wait. Articles are written by some of the leading experts in the industry, and their staff include well-renowned pro’s such as Eric Meyer and Jeffrey Zeldman.
4) Getting Real by 37 Signals
“Getting Real” is a book that’s available online, written by 37 Signals. It’s about creating web-based applications in a productive and successful way. The book covers topics ranging from philosophies that help push out quality products to views on hiring the right people to do the job.
Favorite topics covered in the book are: asking users what they don’t want and dealing with problems only when there is one.
5) Digg / Technology
Digg is a site where people submit links and vote which content is worthy to be read by its users and which articles don’t deserve the light of day. A large part of my ability to keep up with emerging technologies, techniques, and new standards is because of frequenting Digg’s Technology section. The community is picky of what is good news and bad news, so it allows you to skip the junk and get to the good stuff right away.
Other social-bookmarking sites that will help you stay sharp and current, and that should be mentioned here are: StumbleUpon , del.iciou.us, reddit, and popurls.
6) Web Design from Scratch
Web Design from Scratch is a website run by Ben Hunt, that’s about (straight from the front page) “A complete guide to designing web sites that work“. It caters primarily to web builders just starting out, but it’s always good to “go back to the basics” and get a refresher on things that you’ve taken for granted.
The section on Copy Writing taught me that web developers shouldn’t be limited to the coding part or the design part of the project; writing effective copy comes naturally with the experience we’ve had with developing websites that succeed and fail.
7) mootools
mootools is a lightweight framework that simplifies the way you write JavaScript and provides you with powerful AJAX classes, effects, and fuctions. It’s helped with the development of complex web pages in a rapid and elegant way.
There are other JavaScript frameworks similar to mootools, and you can’t go wrong with any of the popular ones, but a developer’s got to choose his or her favorite — and for me, mootools is the one I’ve come to love and use.
8) ReadWriteWeb
ReadWriteWeb is a long-standing (five years and counting) weblog about web technology news. It caters to web professionals that have a need for knowing what’s up right now. It was founded by Richard MacManus, who also co-founded the Web 2.0 Workgroup - a network of blogs that cover the Web 2.0 generation.
It’s a website that allows you to keep your knowledge up-to-date, and is a source I consistently cite when talking about current web technologies with colleagues and fellow developers.
9) Zend Developer Zone
This is a website written by some of the PHP core developers and they provide news, articles, tutorials and other stuff related to PHP. If you’re looking for a reliable source of information about PHP, there’s no other place to look than the Zend Developer Zone.
Worth taking a look at is the five-part article series about the xdebug extension (here’s the link to Part One: Introducing xdebug), which is, as author Cal Evans puts it, “a free and open source swiss army knife tool for PHP developers”.
10) css Zen Garden
css Zen Garden is an eye-opener for newer CSS developers. css Zen Garden explores the power of external style sheets by showcasing a variety of designs contributed by developers throughout the industry.
If you haven’t seen the website before, the concept is: using the same html mark-up, CSS developers submit external stylesheets and images to style the web page into beautifully-looking designs.
It’s a great place to inspire you to push your limits and knowledge regarding CSS.
11) CSSplay: Experiments with Cascading Style Sheets
Another wonderful website about CSS. It features demos of CSS-based solutions such as image galleries, drop shadows, image maps, etc.
The website is authored by a married couple, Stuart (Stu) and Fran Nicholls, who have been in the computer industry since the 1980’s. Most of the demos are (or were) cutting edge; the examples are practical and easy to follow and the website’s easy to navigate.
It’s a commendable resource to check out when you want to gather information about CSS-based solutions.
12) W3Schools Online Web Tutorials
This is an amazing center of knowledge for all things web development, covering topics such as JavaScript, HTML, PHP, SQL, and more. At the bottom of their logo, they quote, “The best things in life are free” - this is indeed true in their case.
The website is a great starting point towards learning about web development and design topics and an effective online reference for those who know about the subject but need a quick refresher.
13) Books24×7.com - ITPro Collection
The ITPro Collection at Books24×7.com features digitalized versions of the top IT books. It’s a fee-based website, but if you’re able to afford it (or can convince the boss to get you a subscription), it’s the best way to access quality literature through the convenience of your computer.
It will also allow you to select the books worthy of buying and adding to your collection.
14) Drupal
Drupal restored my faith in open-source applications. Prior to Drupal, I worked on Oscommerce, Zen Cart and Moodle. All projects had bloated PHP and CSS, poor HTML mark-up (default layouts used tables, little care for semantic mark-up, amongst a few things) and were designed with little usability/accessibility in mind.
Drupal’s code — in contrast — was clean, modular (but not excessively so), had a robust API so that you don’t have to tinker with the core files, and most importantly, the community’s willingness to help out, share information, contribute, and commitment to quality is my vision of the “Utopian” open-source community. Since then, projects like Wordpress, Magento, and Joomla! re-assures us that effective quality solutions don’t come from shelling out the cash, but rather promoting and contributing as much as you can to these remarkable communities.
15) Webmonkey: The Web Developer’s Resource
Here’s a throw-back to the past! This is here as a reminder to the (slightly) older/more experienced developers that the site is still up and running. It was, during their time, a place to visit and learn about web development, covering topics such as web programming, E-business, and page design. It also has a “Quick Reference” section on the sidebar.
I remember being amazed at how their “folder navigation” on the sidebar worked — ever since then, the functionality can now be achieved quite easily using the DOM and/or a JavaScript framework like mootools.
16) Meyerweb.com: Eric’s Writing
This is a collection of Eric Meyer’s writings, an accomplished author on the topic of CSS. Not only is he a CSS expert, but also an advocate of semantic code. His work was, and is, truly revolutionary. I attribute my appreciation and understanding of “resetting CSS” to him.
Eric Meyer is one of the key influential people that I truly find to be talented and knowledgeable in the field of web building. His current and previous works are worth the time to read.
17) 456 Berea Street
456 Berea Street is the creation of Roger Johansson, a web professional from Sweden. His writing is a primary inspiration for starting up of Six Revisions. Topics include book reviews, written work about CSS and XHTML, and web development news and events.
Some pages worth bookmarking are Efficient CSS with shorthand properties (which can be used as a reference to writing “shorthand” CSS - reducing file size and page length) The CSS and XHTML Lab (which features some demonstrations as well as a list of works translated into other languages) and Accessibility myths and misconceptions (a helpful resource to link to when asked about the value of accessibility in web pages).
18) The Web Standards Project
The Web Standards Project “fights for standards that reduce the cost and complexity of development while increasing the accessibility and long-term viability of any site published on the Web”.
Whether it’s suggesting correct mark-up or rallying web browser developers to render styles/html a certain way, The Web Standards Project aims to help web developers reduce the amount of time committed to troubleshooting browser-display issues. The website features articles, tutorials, and the Acid3 Browser Test (visual rendering tests of your browser).
19) Fiftyfoureleven.com
A marvelous website for the modern web developer. The website “is intended to be a resource for web developers: people who design, code and program websites and applications for the web“. The website is part of the 9rules network and is written primarily by Mike Papageorge who chooses to blog about topics such as “Marketing on the Internet” and more specific subjects such as “Olympic Logos“.
Aside from the Web Development Resources sidebar, there’s also a list of the author’s most recent Web Development resources that’s worth a bookmark.
20) SitePoint
SitePoint is one of the older websites that has survived the constantly-changing tastes of web developers and designers. A co-founder of the website, Matt Mickiewicz, first had a website called Webmaster-Resources.com Community Forums launched in 1999.
SitePoint had a bit of a lull for a period of time in terms of popularity; the site’s prominence was replaced by newer, more “forward-thinking” web development sites.
The site has found its “second wind” with it’s young and modern web developer audience with an updated design/user interface, frequent updates, and a new and notable” CSS Reference” section.
So there they are, some websites that’s worth checking out and subscribing to if you’re interested in bettering your web development knowledge and skills. Do you have your own favorites? Did you find websites on this list that shouldn’t be here? Share it in the comments section!

Excellent list.
One thing that I’ve noticed that we as developers take for granted is knowing how to use a search engine well. Have you ever tried teaching someone new how to find answers to their problems with a search engine? I’ve found that, though very teachable, it takes some heavy thought to really boil it down.
Google.com would be one of my indispensable developer resources, but knowing how to use it well is a challenge of its own.

Can’t provide a list like this without including some of the early pioneers in ‘useful web snippets’ from back when it was still called ‘dhtml’ ;}
http://www.dynamicdrive.com - oldie but still one of the best resources for ‘cope n paste’ javascript ideas
http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/ - another site full of ‘dhtml’ goodness
and of course, the user submitted comments on php.net can’t be beat for explanations:

What is this lull at SitePoint you speak of? It looks like steady growth for the past 6 years to me. I’ve been around since the changeover from webmaster-resources.com to sitepoint.com and there never seemed to be a slow period.
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/sitepoint.com
They’ve been among the top 1,000 sites on the ‘net for a while now, and I see all their books at my local BORDERS book store.

Very nice collection of websites in bookmark. I can tell by far away that to pull this out you stash lots of links over the time. I do the same, only for graphic design.
Keep up ! We need resources like this, in this times where Internet is full of craps…

You just named all my favorite sites I use for web development. If I created a list, it would be nearly identical to yours. I’ve never used Books 24×7. I personally use the Safari Books Online Unlimited subscription for about $43 a month, service ( http://my.safaribooksonline.com ). They also have a 10-slot bookshelf limited service for about $23 a month. I also agree with you on mootools. I’ve tried YUI, prototype, jquery, etc, and mootools is by far my favorite javascript framework. I’ve been using it for quite a long time now (back when almost nobody heard of it). Now it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves.

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback. I’d like to respond to some of the comments here.
Johnathan: You just inspired me towards a future article! I completely agree that you have to have a strong command of search engines to be efficient in troubleshooting problems. It can be as simple as “copy and pasting” a PHP error/warning directly into the search to utilizing the more advanced search features of Google. I would attribute a significant part of my ability to figure out solutions to issues simply by effective Google searching. Thanks for the awesome input!
Dan Grossman: I guess what I meant was that it’s popularity towards the more advanced, savvy web developer was replaced by more “niched”/specialized resources. Certainly, SitePoint has mass appeal and that’s attributed to their steady growth. The more books you publish, the more people will visit your website. I personally got turned off by the old interface and the “beginner” topics that they had prior to the upgrade. So I apologize for not making that point clear in this article. SitePoint is an awesome and worthwhile website to frequent, and that is why I chose to include it in this list.
For all the people who’ve shared their favorite links: Thank you very much and I’m sure the other readers will appreciate it! I will append this article at a later period as well as add it to the Resources section.
Additionally, I’ve received a few feedback about the left side of the layout needing 10-20px of padding for smaller screen resolutions. This issue will be addressed in the new blog design which I finished at 6:00AM this morning after working all night and getting two hours of sleep. Before it goes live, I’d like some feedback on the design.
If you’re interested in being part of a small evaluation/feature-request committee that will get a chance to preview the new Six Revisions look, please shoot me a message using the Contact form on the website, found here and I’ll hit you up with the relevant information.
Thank you all once again. Your kind inputs are what drives me to spend time developing and expanding Six Revisions.
Regards,
Jacob Gube

Thats a very sweet list for sure..almost all of them are sure to make a person more aware of making better functioning websites. There are many others but they are only good for a specific thing or post perhaps.
Only issues i have is with SitePoint “sharing” and “caring” is only for older members, new members who are not skilled are not umm much ‘ welcomed’ over there.
James

SitePoint is an overweight ad-heavy forum with (paid) cocky moderators and admins.
I much prefer to use: http://devnetwork.net No ads and the users are there because they care not because they get a pay check…

Capital A for Awesome list. Out of say like, 10 out of 10, you get a HUGE A for Awesome dude!
Jacob Gube
March 10th, 2008
James: Those are also the primary reasons that turned me off SitePoint for a time, and the obtrusive ads are still there, but it’s one of the website’s I frequented earlier in my career and I can’t deny the fact that it has, indeed, improved my web development and design knowledge.
Jason: Thanks for the heads-up, the whole del.icio.us front page is occupied by the websites listed on here. I think that it’s safe to say that I’ve accomplished my goal of providing a few links people haven’t bookmarked yet!
If anyone’s interested in checking out my del.icio.us profile, here’s the link: http://del.icio.us/jggube . I store most of my bookmarks in Firefox, my del.icio.us profile I use only when I’m away from my PC. In the future, I’ll take a screenshot of my bookmark links, it’s massive but organized into a lot of folders.
Thunk Different: Thank you for the comment, probably the most interesting compliment I’ve gotten today. :)

Thank you for compiling all these websites in a list. Many times as a Web developer I have to search through many queries to troubleshoot one line of Javascript. The consolidation offered by moot tools is wonderful. Also I like the thebestwebdesigns as a source for new ideas. And in today’s trend the best and the most creative ideas are required to sell a website. Once again Thank you for the list.

Webmonkey was the AUTHORITY on web design tutorials back in the day, and it’s blast to the past that you mentioned it. I felt exactly as you did about their “folder” navigation bar, and I wonder how many other developers started out using that site.
Glancing at it now, it looks like the whole site is stuck in 2003.

I’d like to point out that you are missing an important resource. Especially since it powers this blog. Wordpress has become one of the quickest and easiest CMSs to deploy…I know that its not designed as one but because its so simple and flexible i think its worth the mention, that all and you have drupal listed.
Jacob Gube
March 11th, 2008
Ryan: You’re right, although I did mention Wordpress in the Drupal entry, I should probably have made it more prominent since it runs this whole website. To tell you the truth, I’ve worked with more Wordpress websites in the past three months (four deployments, not including this blog) and I’m in love with it. It’s simple, very easy to work with, easy to theme, and in the near future I’d like to give it the credit it deserves by posting a dedicated article about it.
I wrote this comment on why I chose Wordpress over Drupal one of my previous articles, if you’re interested. http://sixrevisions.com/design-inspiration/31-drupal-content-management-system-cms/#comment-139
Thanks for your feedback.

Jive: I know Jeffrey Zeldman and Dave Shea deserve props for their work. mezzoblue deserves to be on this list for sure (watch out for a follow-up piece to this one) — their image replacement piece is a bookmark of mine, not to mention, CSS Sprites (like 3 or 4 years ago). I just think that mentioning the whole staff of ALA would’ve been a bit excessive, so I chose my top two favorite members whose books I have in my book collection.

Don’t forget Magento! (http://www.magentocommerce.com)
Like you mentioned with Drupal, many of us had lost fiath in Open Source web applications for a while. I felt the same way about all Open Source e-commerce solutions until this one came around.
Magento is a beautiful Zend Framework-based MVC e-commerce solution, and—unlike osCommerce and Zen Cart—it allows you to build professional (downright enterprise) quality e-commerce sites.

Really great collection you have here. I’m a huge fan of WebMonkey (since 2002) and I’m a freshman when it comes to CSS Zen Garden, but man does it do the trick for inspiration.
