On my way to becoming a web designer, I am constantly searching for techniques, tutorials, and other resources. The Web Developer’s handbook is a hefty database of links on a range of subjects pertinent to web development and design—all on one page.

The list is a bit intimidating at first, but you are sure to find something useful. It covers subjects ranging from daily blogs to technologies like CSS and techniques like AJAX to royalty free photo resources. I’m keeping The Web Developer’s Handbook bookmarked for handy reference.

Better typography in Microsoft Word

Aaron Shepard’s guide, Perfect Pages, shows you how to achieve the impossible: good typography in Microsoft Word. An excerpt of the book with basic tips is available free on his website. For a much more in-depth guide, the complete book’s available on Amazon.

Designers might find it hard to imagine a world without fancy layout programs like Adobe InDesign. Most people, however, aren’t professional designers and won’t have the resources to buy or learn high-end design software. They just have Word. Thankfully, Aaron faces these constraints head-on, creating the most approachable and comprehensive manual available for typography and publishing in Microsoft Word.

Although the book is geared towards writers who want to self-publish, professional designers will also find it useful when designing Word documents such as fax and correspondence templates as part of a large corporate identity system.
