Ajax Resources, Blogging Tools and... Slashdot!

Mon, 20 Jun 2005 14:20:00 +0200

I didn't expect such an influx of visitors caused by the fact that "Web-Dev-Bookmarks" was slashdotted. However, numerous suggestions helped me to give the project a clear and a more... usable structure. Consequently following changes have been made:

now there are more sections, among them Ajax Applications & Tools and Blogging Tools. Any useful suggestions are always welcome;
some sections now are divided in sub-sections, like RSS, DOM and Fonts in CSS-Tools and HTML-Web-Tools;
a German version, which previously existed here will get a similar structure like "Web-Dev-Bookmarks". However, it will include mostly German-"speaking" resources;
new, suggested resources added during the update will be stored in the Archive section.

The "pocket edition" is finally released

Mon, 1 Aug 2005 12:12:04 +0200

Although the "pocket edition" of Web-Dev-Bookmarks (http://www.alvit.de/handbook/) wasn't officially released one week ego, it has already been tagged, linked and bookmarked by thousands of users. Over the last few months the amount of links on this page was constantly growing, making the list less readable and more overflooded. Therefore I've decided to create - apart from the maxi edition - the so-called "pocket edition", which presents the same links, but better categorized and on a one single page. So the official release (updated, actualized and corrected) is finally available now. Just like "Web-Dev-Bookmarks" it will be actualized once a week. Any suggestions, ideas and donations are welcome.
