A few months ago I started a thread over at SitePoint asking opinions on what majors people felt were the most helpful in graphic design and web development careers. I got well over one hundred responses with suggestions ranging from general arts to business to skipping college all together. I heavily thought upon all of this and after much consideration have decided to go with none of these suggestions.
SmackBook Pro–Now that’s just awesome.
Oftentimes I think people use different class names for different style-types, but when time comes to start styling, their CSS gets confusing. So for example, say I have a site with a couple of different sections and have several headers in each. Some of these headers will have a few similarities with each other, yet I’ll still want some in one section to look a little bit different than those in another section.
Buttonator–Sweet little widget for making buttons.
Podtastic! Professional Podcasting for the Rest of Us–This makes me want to try podcasting…
CSS Grid Calculator–Interesting concept, though I’m finding it somewhat hard to use.
Web 2.0 is often mistaken as a technology thing, but it’s really more of a people thing. Some also think of Web 2.0 as innovative and exclusive to the web–but really, it’s not. In fact, the greatest driving force of Web 2.0–the social experience–has been around for a very, very long time. The only thing new is that web developers have finally found a way to put it on the web.
YUI Tetris–I feel a new tagline coming along: I can’t believe it isn’t Flash! In other words, it’s sort of like margarine. The difference? This is actually good.
Save the Internet–If this thing doesn’t get stopped, the internet will be completely useless. Makes you wonder if anybody in Congress has actually read the Constitution before.
