HTML Help was created by the Web Design Group, which was founded to "promote the creation of non-browser specific, non-resolution specific, creative and informative sites that are accessible to all users worldwide." If you check the site out, there is an HTML Validator, CSS Checker, Help Forums, and more! Style Guides, Image info, you name it!

Throughout this course, I seem to always visit this page for different topics. I find it to be written in everyday language, even when explaining Javascript. I've looked over the site, and it "works" for me to help understand the language.

Ooh. Pretty. Curvy tab corners on a horizontal menu. "The Sliding Doors Technique."

I'm always being asked to provide chart information for my business stories in the newspaper, but what if I could do it in CSS and make it pretty? That's what this programming tip provides, and it looks pretty cool, too.

I think CSS charts are one of my favorite thing :). I am sure, someday, they will be superseded by built-in charting tags, but for now, I love 'em.

Monica mentioned a web browser called Opera Dragonfly. Here is a site with more information. It is supposed to be good at debugging Javascript and editing CSS.

Great site for free downloadable cheat sheets for HTML, CSS, MySQL, and seemingly everything else pertaining to web programming. Formatted in pdf to fit on one page to print for easy reference.

One of our challenges is to create a horizontal menu bar, which we did not go over. I am in the process of creating mine now and found this helpful. You might too! Hope it helps!

I'm finding this page to be very useful. It has many different "cheats" for not only CSS but other web development programs.

This is extremely helpful...thanks!

When choosing text and background colors, it's useful to have a hex code chart to make sure you're choosing the color you really want. I like Webmonkey's chart because the color boxes are a little bigger than most other charts. Plus, they also provide the HTML coding to change the background color in case you forget. -- The Web Developer's Resource

Good call on WebMonkey. That was one of the first sites I ever used when I was learning HTML in undergrad. I loved it! Plus, how can you not love it with a name like that!

:) I thought I was the only one who would be amused by the name alone! I didn't realize this site was years old. Thanks for vouching for it

This site include CSS tutorials as well as other web related topics.

Here is a page about MySQL. It explains why MySQL is the world's largest open source database and why it is usually the top choice when selecting database technology.

Webmonkey, which I found while doing in ICM 501, is a great resource. I like the fact that it is at the "Primate" level of skill and yet has a 4-out of-5 banana rating. For those who aren't into coding and have a hard time remembering what kind of tags go before what you want to do, it's great to have open in a different window to reference.

Great site for testing the different font, styles, weights, etc. options before using in your site. There's even a button to create the css code for copy/paste into your css doc!

This site also you to print off "cheat code" for a variety of programs including HTML and CSS. It may be useful for our class and easier to print off than make it yourself.

Here is a PHP cheat sheet I found through a google search. It provides a reference for listing date format arguments, regular expression syntax and common functions.

The PHP cheat sheet I have bookmarked is an extensive overview of format arguments, regular expression syntax, and common functions. The best part is that it is a one page sheet, making it easy to find what you are looking for quickly.

This CSS cheat sheet is not really set up like a standard cheat sheet but it is easy to read and follow along. I think it will be helpful to those of us who need to be reminded of all the CSS shorthand.

Just another cheat sheet for CSS terms, lists, etc...

An online training course from Web Developers Notes that explains the MySQL commands to create database tables: rows, columns, records, assigning unique id numbers to individuals records. At the news organization where I work, developers have used MySQL to create databases for Connecticut high school football and basketball statistics. The stats are all displayed in tables - check it out at http://data.courant.com/highschoolsports/basketball/home.aspx

I am getting into web programming and eventually into this technology :-) I think SaaS is the way of the future and SproutCore makes the browser-based web application a better experience!

To paraphrase Denzel Washington's character in "Philadelphia" (Heck, this may even be a direct quote considering I've seen this film so many times... ): "I want you to explain it to me like I'm a two-year-old." This site does just that! When I am learning a new skill, I want material that is utterly foreign to me to be Kindergarten-ized as much as possible. I would not be the least offended if I saw the following (and hopefully with pictures!): "See Spot mark up the plain text document. Mark up the plain text document, Spot, mark up the plain text document!"
