Resources for Web Development Students @ Robin’s Blog

If you are not following me on Twitter, @RobinMWood, you may be missing some of the great articles that I have come across and posted for your review. I am going to start posting them here by topic on a weekly basis, so that we will have an archive of resources for class.

When you are looking at the resources below they may look rather strange, Twitter has it’s own “lingo” since all posts must be 140 characters or less. You may want to review some of the tutorials at 13 Twitter Tips and Tutorials for Beginners if you have never used Twitter.

A few quick tips:

You will see words with # (hash symbol) like #photoshop and #illustrator – these are called hashtags. Clicking on a hastag below will search Twitter for Photoshop or Illustrator related links. There are numerous hashtags, you may want to check out http://hashtags.org/ to see what’s happening on Twitter right now.

@robinmwood is a Twitter username, clicking on a username will bring up the user’s profile and their most recent posts. You can read what they have shared or “follow” them to see their future posts.

RT means Retweet, another user posted the article and I retweeted because I thought it would be of interest to people who follow me.
