Winners will be contacted via email.

Sexy Web design

Whether you’re completely new to web design, a seasoned pro looking for inspiration, or a developer wanting to improve your sites’ aesthetics, there’s something for everyone here.

How? Because instead of trying to cover every possible area of creating a web site, we’ve focused purely on the design stage; that is, everything that happens before a single line of code is written.

However, great design is more than just aesthetics. Long before we open our graphics program of choice, we’ll be conducting research, dealing with clients, responding to briefs, sketching out sitemaps, planning information architecture, moving from doodles to diagrams, exploring different ways of interactivity, and building upon design traditions.

    It has got to be this one:
    http://net.tutsplus.com/videos/screencasts/extending-simplepie-to-parse-unique-rss-feeds/

    of all the super tutorials, i found this the most useful as it helps to really easily make your static page a little more dynamic and alive without the neccessity to learn php ajax or some fance javascript.

    Thanks a million!

    I did a review of this book a while back, best thing about it was the process they outlined, especially the part on structure. Maybe a bit too much theory for some people, but with a good PhotoShop book, it would make a good combo.
