NETTUTS - Check em out
I’ve been a PSDTUTS fan for a while now and read everything that Collis and his team put out into the ether, well recently Collis started a new tutorial website called NETTUTS.
Anyway, rather than re-tell the story I’d rather bring a couple of his / their articles to your attention that I thought are pretty handy things to know, learn, or be reminded of.
Here you go;
- How to Build a Maintainable Site using CushyCMS and Twitter - Recently I came to the realisation that I should really have a personal site. I don’t take design work, but it’s nice to have a place to refer to when I write bio’s and so on.
- Use Amazon S3 & Firefox To Serve Static Files - Hosting services have gotten a lot better in recent times, more storage, more bandwidth, cheaper prices. But there is only so far that regular hosting will go.
- 7 Crucial Tips for Designing and Maintaining a Large Site - Projects vary in scope and size, and the challenges they entail vary likewise. As a lone web designer, the biggest job I am responsible for is FlashDen. Along with thousands of active members all chatting, uploading and buying, the site processes large amounts of money and large amounts of traffic.
- Build a Sleek Portfolio Site from Scratch - There’s nothing like building an entire site to show you a good overview of how a CSS layout should work. Over at PSDTUTS we’ve got a tutorial where you design up a sleek, high end web design. In this tutorial we’re going to take that PSD file and build it with some nice clean HTML and CSS.
- Creating a PayPal Payment Form - Although it can have some issues, PayPal does provide a very simple way to take payments on a website. And with a little tweaking you can easily turn a PayPal “Buy Now” button into a form where the user specifies how much they’d like to pay and what they are paying for.
NETTUTS is regularly updated, they’re after more contributors as well, and their RSS is here.
