Development.

Things that I feel are useful for developers to know-of or about or to have quick access to.

Version Control.

• Think Like (a) Git: One of the clearest introductions to using git on the web and the one I always point people to first.

The World Wide Web.

• Editing the Web: Detecting the Lost Update Problem Using Unreserved Checkout: A short but worthwhile document describing how to use conditional requests to perform various CRUD operations on web resources and giving hints on how to handle issues when they arise.
• Cool URIs don’t change: “Cool URIs don’t change” is a maxim to live by and something all developers should strive for if we want a web full of information that will retain its usefulness for centuries.
• sakura: a minimal classless css framework / theme: The style sheet used with light modification on this site.
• Normalize.css: A modern, HTML5-ready alternative to CSS resets: A style sheet which aims to remove all the oddities found in the default style sheets of different browsers to make development easier.

Web-comics.

Things that appeal to my sense of humour or aesthetics.

• xkcd: A classic webcomic beloved by many.
• Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: A series of surreal comics where the unlikely or impossible is always taken seriously and usually to twisted conclusions. Often makes me chuckle.
• Girl Genius: A well drawn comic in set in a world of pulpy, steam-punk adventure and mad-science. The fun and slightly silly mood and aesthetic of the genre are always spot-on in this comic.
• Kill Six Billion Demons: A beautifully illustrated comic featuring an expansive story in a dangerous, darkly beautiful and often violent setting.
  
• Foxes in Love: A very sweet set of unrelated, slice-of-life comics featuring a two people who happen to be foxes and who are in love. In the creator’s words: “A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green.”
• Order of the Stick: A long running adventure featuring jokes and lampshade hanging relating to table-top games in general and D&D in particular.
