1 Practical examples

Although the CSS gallery thing is starting to get out of hand, viewing “real-world” examples have always been helpful to me. I learned to code by reverse-engineering other people’s code, and it’s inspiring to see how other designers solved practical problems. CSS Beauty has been a consistently strong resource for me.

2 International resource

Thanks for the great collection of web resources. Although I knew some of them it’s always good to have a few more.

For your international readers there might be another great resource: http://www.selfhtml.org/. It covers almost all topics of HTML and CSS in brief. Currently it’s available in German, French, Spanish and Japanese. English translation is on its way.

3 Thanks Erin & ALA

I’ve been trying my hardest to learn design skills, but coming from a programming background it’s a bit daunting; especially if your girlfriend is a designer herself it makes it out into something like a dark art which you can only be born with.

Something which you can imagine is pretty off-putting at first, but can be challenged with hard work and determination and these articles and links you’ve posted will help a lot in furthering my skills.

The hardest thing i think is just coming up with ideas, I mean when you come home from work tired and drained it’s hard to muster up ideas for your personal site but lately i’m finding inspiration with my flickr pals and the groups i’ve joined and made a few long-term friends along the way.

What can i say, the ALA will always be a site for inspiration and these sources help out a lot.

If anyone’s got any more things they think i should read, let me know, appreciate it.

All the very best.

John.

7 What about recommended software?

I’m also doing web design and I’ve been accustomed to using Dreamweaver, Photoshop & Flash. I have to admit though that they are expensive. Are there any free or inexpensive alternatives to these 3 that you guys from ALA use?

I wrote something similar a while ago here but Erin’s definitely covering more ground than me. Good job!
