A Skidmore student recently asked me how I learned what I know of web application development and we talked about learning by doing, dissecting other folk’s code and so on, and at the end of the discussion he asked if I could share some of the links I use. I started to pull together a list of the most useful sites, like a list apart and Westciv’s css tutorials, but as I was doing this Vitaly Friedman’s fantastic essential bookmarks for web designers and developers showed up in my feeds. I poked around and quickly concluded he had done a better job pulling together all the best resources on the subject than I could and sent that link along to the student. Now I’m passing it along to you all to enjoy.
