Web Develop­ment

I try not to do too much of this sort of thing. It drives me insane. But when I must, I find the following helpful:

• WWW Consortium
  Everything I need to write HTML/CSS. If it doesn’t work, it’s your browser’s fault.
• Mozilla developer center
  JavaScript and DOM reference. Tutorials are overrated (and of­ten just plain wrong.)
• Web Browser CSS Support
  Good to consult, before you start using the more exotic CSS feat­ures.
• BrowserShots.org
  Takes screenshots of your page in different browsers. Fabulous.
• JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford
  Despite its blatant and overwhelming shortcomings, inside Ja­va­Script, there is a small subset of elegance just dying to get out. Watch Doug’s related Google TechTalk.

I should take this opportunity to point out that Flash and AJAX (oh the irony!) are both brands of toilet cleaners in Britain. Make of that what you will.
