In this choice review we look at Webmaster resources, and the various types of Web development information that is available online. We then select the best sites in a top 10 directory and review our top choices.

Web development tutorials, how-to's and articles...

Now that there are so many people involved in the production and management of Web sites around the world there is a pretty healthy demand for online information which interests Webmasters. 

This demand is catered for by an increasing number of sites which focus on the many aspects of building and running a Web site.

These aspects range from Web design and coding to the ongoing management and maintenance of the site. This can be quite a diverse field.

The sites we have focused on here are either those which provide a good all round resource for the subject of Web development and all it's aspects, or sites which specialize in one area such as design and do it well.

Because this subject is popular, there are some large players in the field, which means they have the budget to publish large and resourceful sites dealing with this topic. As a result that means there are some very good sites in this field.

We have taken the top 10 Webmaster resources sites and evaluated them from a user perspective, looking for the uses and the information that will appeal to the majority of site visitors. These include:

  • One-stop reference to a broad spectrum of Webmaster information, or...
  • In depth coverage of a single aspect of Web development, like design.
  • Tutorials, tips and "how-to's".
  • Good advice, based on current mainstream Web development practice.
  • Sites which provide a good starting point to learn about new Web development topics.

Choice Review Recommends

1ST CHOICE
Builder.com
Builder.com

Builder.com is our first choice as a single-stop resource for webmaster resources.

At the heart of the site is a huge library of "how-to's" and tips, which covers many of the subjects Web developers need to know about in publishing today.

This library includes topics such as site development, graphics, multimedia, programming, scripting, site management and ebusiness strategy.

Each topic provides a range of articles from the basic starting points to more specialist applications, so this resource is useful for both beginners and experienced developers.

Relevant links are also provided to other worthwhile resources on the Web, adding to it's value as a single-stop resource for the Web developer.

Builder.com is a CNET Networks site, so it has considerable resources behind it. A recommended single-stop resource for the Webmaster and developer.


TOP CHOICE
Web Page Design For Designers
Web Page Design for Designers

Web Page Design for Designers is an extensive guide to the many aspects of Web design, providing both in-house articles and many links to relevant sites.

Although it does have some beginners advice it is aimed more at the existing designer or developer.

Web design is a fairly large and complex area covering the many design issues that the Web developer will come across like different screen resolutions, display colors and the pros and cons of different image formats. That is the kind of focus this site starts with and progresses into more advanced topics like the use of style sheets, typography and cross platform issues.

This site first went online back in 1996, and became quite popular in a short period of time. It is now recommended or required reading in many colleges, universities, government departments and businesses around the world.

Web Design for Developers is a good resource for the intermediate to advanced designer/developer.

TOP CHOICE
Webreference
WebReference

Webreference provides daily news, opinions, tips and how-to's along with free web-based services and a good depth of articles for webmasters.

Their "experts" directory provides a series of articles and tutorials on subjects like design, HTML, JavaScript, Perl and XML.

Their news articles are of interest to the professional developer and they offer a newsletter for those who like to keep up to date on a regular basis.

Links are provided to other sites for subjects that are covered in more depth so this site can be used as a regular stop for the latest news in Web development but with the ability to learn more or expand on the subject you want to cover.
