Friday Freebies: “Sexy Web Design”
This week, I have five copies of “Sexy Web Design” to raffle off, courtesy of SitePoint! Written by Elliot Jay Stock, this beautifully laid out guide will teach you how to create stunning web designs.
How to Enter?
To be entered into the drawing for one of the five available books, find your favorite tutorial on Nettuts+, and paste a link into the comments form. That’s it; but don’t just paste any random link. Please think about which one helped you more than any other since launch!
Winners will be contacted via email.
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.

This was very useful for me to use to teach my son. He is turning 12 now and having him constantly looking over my shoulder getting glimpses of his Dad’s coding, sometimes get a bit.. you know what. So when I came across this tutorial.. I was over the moon, finally a straightforward approach to creating a WP theme. 10 thumbs up!

This tutorial helped me with the use of ipn, which I am always stuck with when creating some web apps to sell. And now, I can start to deliver my web apps with the ipn, without having to pay for a similar third party application to do almost the same job.
Thanks.

jQuery changed my life. I always knew Javascript was important, but with jQuery, it brings the true power of javascript to anyone with just a tad of programming experience. These examples helped big time.

This tutorial helped me learn how to take a PSD file to production, coding it into XHTML and CSS. Even though the appearance is achieved with absolute positioning I think it’s still a good tutorial and those who have done their homework studying XHTML and CSS can figure out how to code it better.

This was the first tutorial I read on nettuts last year. It’s really helpful and inspiring for me, since I was a newbie in web design. That time I was very blind in CSS and how to create a website from PSD to XTHML+CSS. This tutorial really helped me a lot!

Without that i never would have known what jQuery was.

Great collection of ideas for jQuery use. Places where it is actually an enhancement, instead of just fluff.
