Being 'that' time of year, I thought it appropriate to ramble at the table a bit, and give thanks to those things that have truly enhanced and/or contributed to my career in web development; my own techno-turkey celebration if you will. Not being one for long speeches in a pre-dining scenario, let's get right to it! Please pass the gravy.
First off, I (albeit begrudgingly) have to give props to Facebook... for no other reason than helping to expand the web's general audience, thus granting me more potential eyes for my digital diatribes to assault. That being said, here are some other sites and resources that I am truly thankful for as a designer/developer:
 |
Adobe Pure awesomesauce. Simple as that. I can't even begin to image life without Adobe apps installed on my machine. |
|
|
|
 |
Kuler More Adobe awesomesauce. This web-based color utility is far and away the most useful, evolved and downright fun to use app of its kind. |
|
|
|
 |
Firebug One of the most popular and powerful web development tools comes in the form of the (FREE) Firefox browser plugin. Once you begin using it, you will quickly begin to wonder how you ever got along without it! |
|
|
|
 |
ColorZilla Another available browser plugin, ColorZilla brings the all-powerful eye-dropper tool into the 'real' web world! |
|
|
|
 |
Google Analytics Cheers to Google for bring us more statistical information than we should really want or need, and placing it at our finger tips with a few lines of cut-and-paste code! |
|
|
|
 |
CMS Systems (like WordPress) Thanks for helping us designers craft social interactivity without forcing us to reinvent the wheel each time! |
And there you have it, fellow webiots... my own belated and bloated-holiday bedfellows, for which I give great thanks!
