Invaluable Resources: A Large List of Online Resources that Any Web Professional Needs
January 13, 2013Tweet
Below is a list that my business/creative partner Miles Roxas and I havep collected of many great resources that we feel any web professional should have access to and/or know of. These include documentation, tutorials, blogs, webcasts, tools, and more. While large it is by no means exhaustive. Please let me know of any more resources we should have on this list (seriously, that would be awesome).
I’ve left off my commentary this time. These resources speak for themselves and I don’t want to keep you from perusing them.
To begin, you MUST watch this video.
