Two of the most useful Web Developer sites ever
If you do any sort of Web Development at all and you don’t know about either of these sites, you’re severely missing out on one of the Internets most useful resources ever created for Web Development. Sure, there are other sites, even Microsoft’s MSDN Library which has pretty good documentation on a lot of the same stuff, but none are as easy to navigate and have as many tips and information about cross-browser application.
I’m talking of course about Brian Wilson’s Index DOT Html and Index DOT Css sites. I have been using these sites over the past 8+ or so years as one of my primary resources when it comes to Web Development. They document the majority of the HTML and CSS elements and properties, how they work and what browsers support them (and to what degree) – complete with browser specific tips and notes.
The sites may not be up to date with Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 7 or 8, but the information they provide is still very relevant and still very useful. They’re always my first stop when I need to look up a particular HTML element or CSS property, and to be honest I don’t know where I would turn if they weren’t around for me to use. I suppose I owe Brian Wilson an enormous thank you for all his hard work and dedication to the sites, and I’m pretty sure that there are many others out there who owe the same as well.
Brian, thank you for two of the most useful resources available on the Internet over the past decade or so.
