A List Apart - Blog

Unless you’ve been hiding in a cave with Osama bin Laden, you know that Apple is selling an iPhone and that it’s a hit. Apple is well on its way to selling ten million mobile Internet devices by the end of 2008. Besides being a great phone, the iPhone also includes a sophisticated new Safari browser. This version is touted as “the most advanced web browser on a portable device” and from what I’ve seen, it deserves this accolade.

So what does this mean for you? Millions of visitors accessing your content on a small display with very high resolution. At some point in the near future, you’re going to want to take a look at your current site design to make sure that it looks good and works well on this new device and its Mobile Safari browser.

Here the list of online generators specifically for web 2.0 design: enjoy it!

Do you own, build, study or have an interest in web sites that goes beyond just surfing? Maybe you just like to keep up to date with new technologies and trends relating to web design and development.

If so, chances are good you’ve already stumbled across Vitaly Friedman’s The Web Developers Handbook. If you haven’t, the WDH is an absolute must-have bookmark. The site claims bookmarks to over 730 resources for web designers and developers across an impressive range of topics, all vetted and useful to practising designers and developers.

Nice design too - very Web 2.0.

I wanted to list on a one single page the most useful web-sites, which make the life of web designers easier. If you ask the old uncle Google where you can find proper web design-instruments he shows an infinite list, whereby “his” links aren’t actually that useful. At the same time really helpful pages aren’t shown at all…

Vitaly has the story on the Handbook and its development in this blog post.

Thanks Vitaly
