This is an awesome idea! Why not add links to some commercial products like Dreamweaver and GoLive?

Also, Gimp is very useful for photo manipulation, as is the more professional Photoshop.

monke · Jan 7, 2006, 10:10 PM

Thanks ChrisWB,
I accidently forgot to add those in, but they are in now.

As other suggest links, I will post them.

Seashore, a nice, free image manipulator. A bit early in development, but I'm sure a certain MR member will get it right. He's promised "one day it will be as good as MS Paint"...

VTC has a large library of software training videos available online for $30/month. Some videos are better than others, but overall it's a good way to learn the basics of most popular apps (especially if you learn better by demonstration than by reading).

radiantm3 · Jan 16, 2006, 06:38 PM

How can that list not have the best editor on the mac platform?

You have to add Textmate (www.macromates.com).

radiantm3 · Jan 16, 2006, 06:40 PM

SkEdit also deserves mention for those who need code hinting.

superbovine · Jan 16, 2006, 06:40 PM

once this is all updated, make this a guide in the wiki section.

Peyton · Feb 17, 2006, 09:24 PM

I use lunarpages.com for hosting they really are great. They add features all the time, almost no downtime.

Check em' if you need em'

steelphantom · Mar 24, 2006, 02:56 PM

HTML Dog is a great resource for learning XHTML and CSS. It pretty much covers all the bases when it comes to this stuff.

monke · Mar 30, 2006, 11:31 PM

Updated again and added the 'Buying Domains' section.

summer sky · May 21, 2006, 12:59 AM

wow! sooo happy to find this collection of info and resources as am trying to teach myself web design... thx :)

homerjward · May 21, 2006, 01:12 AM

what about a link to a color scheme help site? i use http://www.siteprocentral.com/html_color_code.html

bwanac · Jun 6, 2006, 11:25 PM

http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/

I find the above site to be very helpful.

Beginners should read this when they really want to make a site that really does its job.

monke · Jul 5, 2006, 07:30 PM

Updated, once again, thanks for the links.

theappleguy · Jul 14, 2006, 07:28 PM

Great idea for a thread iNeedtoSwitch.

Here are a few of my own suggestions:

Hosting: TJR Networks and Myacen
FTP: Interarchy
Domains: eNom

Best PHP tutorial I've found. I've had a great time going through it, and I'm definitely going to apply what I've learned.

Yvan256 · Aug 10, 2006, 09:58 AM

Textwrangler! It's the best and it's free! But why is it in "Blogging"?!

As for hosting, I'm using PowWeb for yvan256.net, never had any real problem and they're not too expensive. The storage size and bandwidth/month are extremely huge too.

iMeowbot · Sep 7, 2006, 11:29 PM

Learning CSS at the W3C.

HTML Home Page also at W3C: specifications, tutorials, you name it.

monke · Sep 10, 2006, 01:24 AM

Updated once again.

treycopeland86 · Sep 19, 2006, 11:56 AM

this is the ultimate resource and should be added....

monke · Oct 30, 2006, 11:21 PM

Thanks for the link, great handbook by the way.

monke · Nov 5, 2006, 03:56 PM

Added IE fix, CSS Tips and Trends, CSSEdit, MySQL Administration and iWeb.

MacsomJRR · Jan 31, 2007, 10:35 AM

This is an excellent resource for web-related stuff. I'll be back! Thanks!
