So which articles you found most useful. Also feel free to recommend any article that we may have missed.
Might have wanted to had the title mention that these were web tutorials. I work almost exclusively with enterprise architectures, and none of these are really applicable to my profession.
Very Nice Collection.
BigLinuxGuy, this is http://www.w3avenue.com, which is a website for rapid web development.
I suspect you followed the link here from Hacker News; now that link could well have been better labeled.
Rather a lot, not sure I’ll get my way through all of them but thanks for the list.
BigLinuxGuy & Dave Sparks,
Thanks for your feedback. This is a new series on W3Avenue and most of our users expect it to be web development related tutorial.
But we totally agree that we should provide more clear title on sites like Hacker news which covers much wider audience.
Although our post title for coming months will be same on W3Avenue, but rest assure that links submitted by us on other sites will be clearly labeled.
Once again thank you for taking time to provide your feedback.
Thanks for mentioning my post, I’m happy you enjoyed it.
