Re: General Useful Resources For Web Designers

Hm... a decent list, but it's a little outdated. I would avoid dynamicdrive.com now, most of their scripts are ancient, and kind of trashy. Avoid ASP like the plague.

Javascript Tools:
Design DiscussionBoth of those sites feature responsive design. Resize your browser, and watch how the contents of the page realign so that you never have to scroll horizontally. You will definitely get bonus points if you can do this on your site.

CSS
Testing
Misc.
  • Bootstrap - A frontend framework for responsive design sites
  • HTML5 Boilerplate - Excellent starting point for doing a page from scratch. Use this.
  • Firebug - The best DOM inspector (in my opinion.) If you do not know about DOM inspectors yet, learn NOW. They are your most powerful debugging tool. Chrome, Safari, and even Internet Explorer ship with DOM inspectors. Firefox has a new one, but it's not nearly as powerful as Firebug.
