If anyone else has any links that they like/use, please post them.

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]

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).

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

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

SkEdit also deserves mention for those who need code hinting.

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

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'

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]

Updated again and added the 'Buying Domains' section.

 

[summer sky]

[homerjward]

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

 

[bwanac]

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]

Updated, once again, thanks for the links.

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]

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.

Learning CSS at the W3C.

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

 

[monke]

Updated once again.

 

[treycopeland86]

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

[monke]

Thanks for the link, great handbook by the way.

 

[monke]

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