Because of my lack of knowledge in developing websites, I targeted my search toward the RSS feeds from sites for developers. I found many sites that I have bookmarked, that would aid me in my project, but many did not off an RSS feed. Here are five of the nine that I felt would help me.
About.com Databases – About.com has been helping people for many years. Professionals cover many subjects in that area and building databases is one of these subjects covered in depth. Besides offering student projects for immediate viewing on my site, I would like to develop a student database so teachers can keep in touch with students on new developments in technology, equipment, and personnel within the department. This feed from About.com offers articles and advice as well as building a database for beginners.
About.com Web Design – This feed is similar to the Database feed except it covers site developing. Several professionals offer articles and blogs in this feed.
Adobe Developer Connection – Adobe offers tutorials and how-to articles for all of their software. This feed contains information on updates, how-tos, and answers to questions on all adobe software. The feed is updated constantly. One can stay busy trying to keep up with all of the input.
Adobe Dreamweaver Developer Center – Dreamweaver is the industry standard software for site developers. Adobe has a site (built with Dreamweaver) that offers tutorials, articles, and any information needed for the developer. There are tutorials for the beginner offering step-by-step how-tos. Like many, CSS (cascading style sheets) totally confuses me. I found a page dedicated to the explanation of CSS and how-to use it in Dreamweaver. There are also articles for the advanced developer and workshops offered for all expertise.
Sitepoint.com – This feed offers information on Microsoft and other software. For example there is an article up today on sharing media on Twitter using Flex and PHP styles. There is another article on how-to develop desktop applications using Adobe Air. Yet another article offers insight on how to design with Microsoft Expression Blend. Considering I had never heard of this software, this article was interesting to read. I chose this feed because there may be software that I have never heard of, like Expression Blend, which would be useful for my AR project.
I assume there are many more feeds that I can access and would be useful to me. I just haven’t found them yet. But when I do, they will be included in my Goggle Reader.
