Five Great Developer Resources

Last week I posted 5 of my favorite resources for ActionScript development and the response was really great so this week I’ve decided to share some my preferred sites for non-flash/traditional web development.

Nettuts+:  This site that is part of the Envato network of pages has new tutorials every day.  From JavaScript, to CSS to PHP frameworks, this site runs the gamut when it comes to web development tutorials.  With many contributors  and topics, you are bound to find something you like.  Add contests and freebies to the mix and it makes Nettuts+ a can’t miss site.

Smashing Magazine:  Smashing is an online staple, offering tutorials, tips and compilations of some of the best examples of design from around the web.  With posts every day, I make sure to hit this site each morning.  Smashing Magazine also has a book coming out at the end of this month that I’ve already got it on preorder.  I can’t wait for it to be delivered as everything they do is top-notch.

Six Revisions: Another leader in web-development articles and tutorials, Six Revisions is another must-read site for Web Development professionals.  Like the other sites on this list, articles are published every day and cover a broad range of topics.  Check out their freebies sections for a ton of textures and icons that will make any developer/designer’s life a whole lot easier.

CSS-Tricks: CSS tricks is a site produced by experienced developer and designer Chris Coyler.  Don’t let the name fool you though because this site is not limited to posts on CSS, it included JavaScript, PHP and many other useful bits of information on web development.  Chris is also the author of many other great sites like Quotes on Design, Script & Style and HTML Ipsum.  While the posts are not as frequent as some of the other sites I’ve mentioned it is still worth checking out nearly every day.

Webmonkey: Another diverse site that has a broad range of useful items for all developer and designers.  With code libraries, cheat sheets, tutorials and much much more, Webmonkey is definitely worth keeping in your bookmarks as there is always something new and useful to discover buried in its pages.

Some other that we like to frequent here:

Tutorial 9, Snook.ca, Web Appers, Ajaxian, Web Designer Wall, Woork, ThinkVitamin

If you know of any sites that we should be checking out feel free to post them in your comments as we are always looking for new and valuable resources to check out.
