Resources of Old
Back in the day of “old school web design” we didn’t have the resources like we do today. We didn’t have A List Apart, Site Point, or the number of weblogs that provide us a resource in web development. (Or maybe we did, but I didn’t know about them). I ran across a web page on our IDI Intranet the other day that listed our top ‘Design Links’. Some of the resources we used are no longer available but some are still going there, and I really don’t use any of them anymore, but they exists in our web development history adn memories. Here is the list.
Resources of Old (circa 1999–2000)
Internet.com – Anyone still go there. Too much for me to handle. How many sites did they have under their umbrella?
Web Reference – Another Intenet.com site on development
Essential Web Guide – Your starting guide to HTML
Web Monkey – We all remember the monkey
Cool Homepages – Was cool back in the day, it is too diluted now.
100 Hot sites – It was like cool home pages, dead now
Design Freak – There were some great designs and artciles here, now lost somewhere
Lynda – Ah linda, we love lynda and she continues to promote here books. (never bought one, but I remember she had some good resource links.)
Internet Valley – It has since flooded and been swept away to another domain. I really don't remember what was here.
2 Advanced – Pioneer flash site we all loved and said 'cool'.
Adobe Studio – Need help with adobe products. Here is were they where, Dramatically, upgraded since then.
