I have used HTML Dog and Sitepoint for various tutes. I find the W3C sites very dry and boring (as if coding is exciting to begin with...  :sleepy: )

I have a whole folder of bookmarked links that I refer to regarding web dev - if I get unbusy later I'll post some of my favorites here.

Hey Joe - I got Joomla rage tonight. Tried working on one of my sites...tried being the key word. These free components & plugins just don't fucking work. Wasted an hour of my life before just signing out. Not worth it.

One component gave me a PHP string error when trying to save a page, so I finally dumped it. Two others left me totally clueless - no documentation or instructions on how to actually use it. That's what you get for free now.

I think Joomla is the worst at this now...as I mentioned earlier, there are almost no free components, plug-ins, or templates for Joomla that are worthwhile. Most of the free stuff is junk.

I'm digging Concrete5 CMS lately. Even with it though the cool stuff is not free.

I can't believe the downfall in just one year. It's not that I'm against paying for tools that actually work, but if the free/demo versions pop up errors right away I don't have much faith in the paid versions.

Yes, it seems like the last year or so it has gotten a lot worse. I agree I wouldn't mind paying for good software but there is so much garbage out there it's hard to find the few diamonds in the rough.

Just putting this here, for general interest, as I was on lynddotcom and noticed it under "New releases". The free accessible ones are the ones not greyed out. (Well, D'uh!  :laugh: )

What did Fbomb learn today?

Dreamweaver sucks.
Code is a lot different from when I was screwing around with it in '99.
Make sure your domain is in your control.
Trust no one when it comes to money.
I have a hell of a lot to learn.

Doesn't he use the words "exponential" and "visionary" a lot?
