105 Resources for Web Developers
SoftwareDeveloper has just published a Jay-Z inspired resource article entitled “I Got 99 Problems but Developing Ain’t One.” A comprehensive list of online resources for software and web application developers, designers, code monkeys and hacker enthusiasts. It occurred to me that some of my personal favorite resources were missing from this list even though they covered almost all the bases.
In addition to the aforementioned massive list,
I present to you DotSauce’s Top 5 Picks for Web Developer Resources.
Web Developer Blog: roScripts
An amazing array of top-notch articles, scripts, code snippets and a budding forum community. Under the “Resources” section you will find a digg voting style system with some great user submitted content. roScripts is really by developers and for developers.
Web Developer Forum: v7n Networks
A very popular blog network gives way to a very active and well managed forum community for web professionals. Be sure to check out the Domain Name industry and sales forums. You can also get in touch with me here (DotSauce).
Web Development Code: PHP Resource Index
This script resource index is many many years in the making. You can find some excellent free and paid scripts nicely organized by functionality. A nice alternative to the sponsored listing ridden HotScripts.
Web Development Resources: SmashingMagazine’s Toolbox
SmashingMag is technically in blog format but they categorize certain special types of articles which include loads of unique niche resources into their ToolBox. 10 Tips for Investing in Domains, a DotSauce article, was recently featured in the Web Domains: Tools to Use, Articles to Read feature.
Web Developer Print Magazine: .NET Practical Web Design
I am a proud subscriber to this magazine. For some reason at bookstores in the US it goes by the name of “Practical Web Design.” However, .NET magazine by any name is an amazing publication which features an interactive resource CD with each issue and loads of awesome articles on design & development.
So it seems you like ginormous lists with awesome tools? Check this out too!

Nice picks.
The PHP resource index is a very nice find. It’s like Hotscripts but only PHP.
Thanks a bunch! This is very cool.
I like the blog too.

Mark, The whole .NET magazine renamed Practical Web Design in the US really threw me off as well. See the graphic on page 75 of Issue 166, blue cover, and then visit http://www.jbspartners.com, then you will understand why I was so intent on finding a copy. Imagine my frustration calling around Boston looking for .NET magazine.
Thankfully, my producer called me and said hey, have you looked at the Summer 2007, Issue 166. That is when I learned that it is called Practical Web Design in the US.
I quickly bought a couple of copies and was shocked at the retail price.
What a great read, full of articles, up to the minute tips, great design ideas, great coding and that nifty CD full of examples, software, vids and more. Currently reading the next issue, 167.
Well, here is one case where Twitter produced a business result. That is how I (fairminder)found you.
