What are the top 10 websites a web developer must see?


  1. CSS Zen Garden (The Beauty of CSS Design) - The CSS Zen Garden opened my eyes to CSS and gave me a great understanding of the difference between presentation and structure. On the site, the HTML is the same across all pages...the only thing different is the CSS.
  2. Sitepoint (SitePoint – Learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby & Responsive Design)  - I believe Sitepoint to be a great site to learn a number of web technologies. Most of the tutorials are bite-sized and great to digest and learn from.
  3. A List Apart (For People Who Make Websites) - A List Apart is another site for the latest web technologies and providing value and assistance for web developers.
  4. DZone (DZone: Programming & DevOps news, tutorials & tools) - I first chatted about this site back in 2006 on my site (dZone: Digg for developers) and I've been a dedicated reader ever since. I particularly like the web technologies, architecture, and mobile sections they recently added.
  5. W3C (World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)) - I always like to see what's on the horizon for the web by examining the drafts and future RFP. I especially use the W3C Validator (Markup Validation Service) for checking my website.
  6. GitHub (Build software better, together) - If you want to learn how to write web applications, there is a ton of code on GitHub to show you so many techniques in CSS, JavaScript, and other various server languages that it would take you months to cover everything on the site, but it's a great place to learn.
  7. Smashing Magazine (Smashing Magazine – For Professional Web Designers and Developers) - Another great tutorial site that provide detailed tutorials and leave the reader to continue with their imagination. I have bought several of their books and they are definitely worth the money.
  8. MSDN Magazine (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us...) - Since I'm more Microsoft oriented, I visit the site every month to find the source code for the offline magazine articles as well as the online articles.
  9. Code Project (For those who code) - The reason I like this site is because of the tutorials written by other developers. I've learned a lot from this site and used some code as a springboard to expand on their examples.
  10. PluralSight (Unlimited, online training for IT, Developer and Creative pros) - For the formal training. I've always liked Pluralsight for learning new web technologies relatively quick.
