Sourcebench - the web developer’s workplace

Here we are, yet again. Today we will be talking about, yes you guessed it - tutorials. Being a web designer sure gets harder and harder every single day. New websites pop-up on the net with every second and you never know who might have the same innovative idea as you just had yesterday and you are already working on it. Well, this really is not only annoying, but bad for some people's business.

So, let's get some things straight. What we are offering you right now are some nice websites that post and support CSS tutoring. To be absolutely honest with you, I want to make one thing clear - there are extremely few websites that concentrate their attention to css tutoring and such. Most of the websites turn their backs on stuff of that sort and concentrate on Photoshop or Flash, so what we got here are some websites made of people who like and develop css in their own fashion for people like you and me.

Isn't that just marvelous!

Depiction - http://www.depiction.net

Now this is a website that can offer some great tutorials not only for CSSm, but photoshop and such. Oh, but we already discussed this - we care about CSS right now, so forget the rest. The tutorials are growing slowly, but surely and I bet that soon there will be a lot of tutorial suggestions, post and much more comments than now. The website looks very serious and the tutorials may not be very advanced, but cover most of the things that are mostly needed in web designing - which is good for us right?

Up Up Media - http://upupmedia.com

Now this is a nice website which surprised me with their choice of name. I never thought that I could find something like quality tutorials on a website of that particular kind. No matter, still tutorials have a purpose and these here do it very well. Still, don't expect to stumble upon a large gathering of fabulous CSS tutorials - no as I said before few websites have what it takes to post a big major CSS tutorial section. Whatever, these guys here have put their heads together to make a few simple tutorials about the basic design moves involving css - static text, image link enhancements and the like.

Check it out so that you really understand and confirm what I am saying right now.

HV Designs - http://www.hv-designs.co.uk

There are few reasons that I decided to include this website in this list right here right now. One of it is the fact that they actually have a pretty first-glance-eye-catching-header design. The next one is that their tutorials - no matter how few they are - have a very nice and increasing in growth view rate. The last one - their last tutorial is about "Convert you original website into a working wordpress template." and I personally think that this deserves a few looks into it. This is not only hard, but time consuming and, for some, a brain damaging process. I have even seen companies doing this for big sums of money and it seems like their business is working fine.

So, bottom line is - why not give these guys here some serious credit.

I say "You got it!".

Sebastian Sulinski Design - http://www.sebastiansulinski.co.uk

A new web designer brave enough to post more than his profile on his personal website. Tutorials INCLUDED! Well it isn't that much of a deal, but it seems like the one responsible for this is the one who gains experience by the day and shares it with the rest of the world. He has some talent, it can be seen from his designs and websites, meaning that his tutorials - as few and simple they are right now - can grow like a plant in the garden of Eden. Alright, I know I kind of exaggerated, but still you know what I meant.

Nucleocide - http://www.nucleocide.net

And for desert we got something really not that special nor interesting. You might have ask something like "Why the hell is that thing here then?" .I understand you completely I would react the same way if I were you. But, I am not so I am sure you deserve some serious explanation? Ok, here it goes : This is the current website of a web designer Thomas Hunter. The thing that caught my attention is that this guy hates Dreamweaver and .Net. What he says about himself is : "Anything that you can do with Dreamweaver I can do with notepad.". The guy is a code maniac and he seems to be very found of it. About Nucleocide - it is a website/program that he develops for quite some time and the website features 4-5 different categories of tutorials and yes the best one is his CSS category that right now has barely anything in it. So, another reason not to include this website here - BZZZ! you are wrong. If you have a particular question about a tutorial or something completely out of the website - still CSS related - I am sure that he will respond with a solution to your demand.

As I said, code freak.

And here we are finally at the end.

I know that these are really just some few websites, but they deserve attention and repay with solutions.

Until, next time!
