Monthly, I will publish an article with the most interesting links that I found during that month. These links will be addressed to both designers, developers and some even to Linux system administrators. Except to find useful resources that may (or may not) help you in your future projects. Each link will contain a small intro text so you can understand what the article is all about without having to navigate to the article itself.
Here is my collection of best link references of February 2010:
Implement a Rest API with the Zend Framework
Implement a Rest API with the Zend Framework is a great article posted on the “Realm of Zod” blog by Brandon, which shows you how to build your own Rest Server and Rest Client with Zend Framework. It gives you all the details required to get you started on the RESTful path of WebServices.
Font type tester (includes font-face tests for CSS3)
Typetester – Compare fonts for the screen is a very very useful site for both designers and developers who want to give a nice artistic touch to their website without having to research countless hours for an appropriate font that might work or not for their needs.
960 Grid System – CSS Framework
960.gs is the leading CSS framework on the market. Even if you don’t like to use CSS Frameworks or didn’t know they existed, 960gs will provide you with core elements that will help you speed up your design2html process. For all of you who didn’t try it yet, you should definitely give it a shot. You won’t regret it.
High Resolution Bokeh Texture
High Resolution Bokeh Texture is part of the freebies category. It includes a pack of bokeh textures to share & use in your design projects. The package contains 5 textures with high resolution (240 dpi) 3456 x 2304.
Out of focus 30 free bokeh textures
Out of focus 30 free bokeh textures is part of the freebies category again, this time with more textures for your design needs. The package contains 30 textures for your free use.
Getting Started with XSL(T)
Getting Started with XSL(T) is the final interesting link of the month. It is an article written by Chad Hietala for Net Tuts Plus where he explains how to get started with the XLS(T) which is an alternative to the HTML design we all have used so far. If you are curios why even bother looking this up, you might need to know that Blizzard World of Warcraft armory is purely made on XLS(T)
