Over the past year I had accumulated a couple web design/development links in my feed reader/bookmarks, so I figured I share some of them. I’ve used/read all of the resources in this list more than once. All of these resources deal with front-end web design ((X)HTML, CSS, JavaScript/DOM), advice from the industry trenches (Web Standards movement), or creativity/inspiration from print/flash designers (mostly linked due to the fantastic imagery these sites provide, NOT because of the websites they link to, which are either non-functional or simply annoying to navigate).
