DevEdge
Online
Netscapeìs site for developers offers a comprehensive
database of documentation that explains how to program
everything from basic HTML to Java and XML, with sample
pages to guide you. Thereìs also a helpful area where
you can troubleshoot with other members and check
the latest bug reports. Basic membership is free,
and professional software developers can set up a
business-to-business relationship with the site for
a fee.

Slashdot
As the open-source movement grows, Slashdotìs influence
grows as well; itìs the major meeting place for techies
in love with Linux (and with real antipathy toward
Microsoft). Members post interesting articles from
around the Web, and other members comment in endless
and feisty discussions that can be wildly entertaining
to read. Anyone whoìs interested in the Internet and
Web development will find something to read here.

Web
Site Garage
Drive your site into the Web Site Garage (a Netscape-owned
site) and see what the mechanic has to say about the
way youìve built it. Youìll get instant performance
diagnostics, suggestions for tuning up your images
for faster loading, and tools for counting your traffic
and promoting your site. Itìs one of the quickest
ways to get an overall picture of your siteìs health.

Webmonkey
This HotWired site for Web developers doesnìt seem
to be churning out articles at the rate it once was,
but itìs still a great resource for all aspects of
Web site development, from coding and design to promotion
and marketing. The multimedia sections are also particularly
strong. |

World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
The W3C
was founded in 1994 to "lead the World Wide Web
to its full potential by developing common protocols
that promote its evolution and ensure its interoperability"--a
lofty ambition to say the least. Its director is none
other than Tim Berners-Lee, the man who invented the
Web. At the site, youìll find the technical reports
and specs that outline the agreed-on standards for
the Web. |
