CSS Layouts: The Fixed. The Fluids. The Elastic.

Which Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) layout is best? All have their quirks and their unique pros and cons. Is one more accessible than the other? More usable?

Some Photoshop Tips for Developers

If you’re a die-hard coder who needs nothing more than coffee and Vim, perhaps web development isn’t for you. It’s varied. While you certainly need top-notch coding skills, you can’t avoid handling media and graphics. Yes, graphics. Probably in Photoshop. Photoshop seems a little odd when you first use it. The interface isn’t quite standard on any OS platform and some features will confuse you initially. Persevere with it, though, and you’ll never want to use another graphics package again. Fortunately, there are several ways to make your life a little easier… 1.
