There is some amazing stuff out there on the Web–resources, tools, tricks, and tips. Problem is, as a Web developer, you spend so much of your time just keeping up with new technologies - learning, playing – and this doesn’t leave much time to go hunting for the latest and greatest tool, or for a better way of doing things.
So we’ve put together a list of over 100 resources to help make your life as a developer easier; where to find snippets of code, sites that automate processes, cheat sheets, lessons, useful tools and a couple of silly videos to give your brain a break if you make it through to the end. Please enjoy!

I did notice that Inkscape wasn’t included as a companion to the GIMP. Sorry for the nitpick because this is really a great list.
Jon - not nitpicky - good call; I missed it - thanks! Check out graphics now…
Wow! Lid. You’re incredible! Is that you on the photo? No, I mean the list. Thank you for including me! There is one small mistake in it: Its http://feedjumbler.com/ NOT Feedburner.
Tad - Yep, but on an off day - No…alas, not me - although I am very envious
You are welcome for including you - mistake fixed - sorry, in my excitement (and lack of caffeine) I kept seeing how you pulled in everyone’s feed from Feedburner and it stuck in my head. I LOVE this…
bookmarked.
kthx bye
Any reason why you don’t call Prototype and Noodleinicident, etc., by their names? Also, it’s not Lightbox, it’s lightbox2 (lb2) … I stopped reading there.
#100 domain hacks, I never was a fan of domain hacks. I find its better to find a domain you can remember. bustaname.com does a good job with this. If not that, then sedo.com is a good resource for buying old domains.
Mike and Adam - thank you - much appreciated
PPW - No reason really, I’m sorry it wasn’t useful for you.
The analytics section is desperately in need of builtwith.com
Holy shit dude! BOOKMARKED!
Nice — thanks!
Nice Page, gonna bookmark this and read it all later.
Pretty handy list, thanks for compiling it!
This is a great list for Web Developers! No doubt, most of them are definitely written for PHP web developers, but I do find a lot more interesting tools, such as finding if your site is banned by Google, etc.
Once again, great list. I’ll definitely have it bookmarked and access it at a later time when I need to revamp my site(s).
To catch immediate attention of the typical attention deficient web surfer overwhelmed by the billions of blogs, you put an attractive girl at the top. I like your style.
That chick is stacked!
I clicked this link from del.icio.us ‘cuz of a cute girl in a tight shirt and then I get nothing but well-organized, helpful information. What the hell blog-well.com? I just don’t know how to feel right now.
Site Stats: check out http://www.statcounter.com which offers a free service and fantastic range of stats to track and analyse your visitors behaviour.
Great list, thx!
I like the second photo, but not the first one. The flash doesn’t do good things for her assets there–and I don’t mean Dreamweaver assets.
Isn’t Back Orifice a trojan/hacker tool?
What about iconfinder > http://www.iconfinder.net
The list is amazing! Great work.
@ John Edgar - Thanks for the tip. Bustaname looks cute - don’t know about sedo - need to investigate further If all good, will include them in the update. Thanks again
@ Shaun - Thank you - will check it out better. We pointed out a few SEO tools in a previous post 100+ Useful Resources for Small Businesses and Non Profits a couple of weeks ago - what do you think of them?
@ Gunnar - you have got that right! Thanks for the bookmark - I hope it is useful to you
@ Chris - I am glad you clicked on a link at del.icio.us, and I am glad the cutie made you smile, but don’t worry about what to think right now, confusion is okay Just let me know if it’s useful in the long run! BTW - my fave is Darth Vader
@ Lisa - Thanks for sitestats - I’ll have to have a play
@ Angela - yeah I like the head tag guy too, but I am envious of her assets
@one_red_eye - C’mon - you have to love the name - but you also have to admit, it’s a cool tool
@ Horsy - I like it - will include it in the next update - Thanks!
@ everyone else - thanks for stopping by, checking it out and commenting - hope it is useful to you
Great list thanks. Added few to my bookmarks
Add some stuff from http://svg.startpagina.nl , as the SVG train keeps accellerating
extjs.com <3
Bookmarkin the crap out of this
@ Randomdude and Stelt - thanks, will check them out!
@ Dave - ahh my favorite words…
Very good list here, will definately use some if not most of these tips.
I do like the .htaccess generator, nice and simple.
REeally nice list, I digged it.
Seriously cool list. May i add http://www.imageafter.com for an alternative image resource?
Will the bird in the photo at the top of this article…please marry me!
Wow, great list. Thanks for putting this together, going right on my bookmarks.
Well Done! Thanks for the Hard Work!
This list is amazing. I need a couple of hours to visit all the sites that are of interest to me Thanks for doing a great job.

You’ve put in some good effort in coming up with this list. Thanks for making it easier for everyone else
Hello everyone, I am Satt from Canada, here I am having trouble with my web developer, they created my site, altough it look very nice, its not a good site, for instance if you look at my site http://www.divineenergycollection.com you will notice there is almost no link to other pages, so I cannot sell additional products, referancing from one to the other, and yes I paid over $5000.00 for this, and even now there is some much problems with this site and when I ask for the problem to be resolve they are asking for $35.00 and hour to resolve these problems.
Is there anyone who can help me put my site in a good way for a resonable price?
Also i would like to earn how to use Dreamweaver?
Thank you
Satt
OMG, this list is great! Thank you very much!
Maybe you should put link to Web Developer extension for Firefox.
i had a hard time scrolling down after that big boobed chick….
Wow. http://www.cascadingstyleshirts.com
A great list - there are quite a few things I have not come across before which as an avid collector of info on web tools says something
These are some great resources for web developers and the shirt reading, “talk nerdy to me” is cute. Stumbled Upon this website from our Web Hosting Company Blog.
I went to all of them.
great links!
Thanks for appreciating my tools photo and using it here
Congratulations for compiling a very useful list of resources, it happens that my full-time job has to do with web development. I’m bookmarking this for future reference.
By the way, could you please correct the spelling of my name? I know, it’s all Greek to you
@ Ronak - Thanks - will check them out - time to update this weekend me thinks
@ Anui - You are welcome - It is good to hear it is useful because it did take a bit of effort and I’m glad it’s appreciated
@ Satt - Sorry to hear that. Have you considered running a blog instead of the site? If you want to learn how to use Dreamweaver, there is a good tutorial here Good luck!
@ Niksy - Good idea - thanks!
@ Sir Jorge - give it a shot - it’s pretty decent
@ Joshula - very cool
@ Sueblimey - LOVE your name! - I appreciate you saying that - thank you (it was a bugger to put together - just took forever) so really good to see it is useful.

tits!
I love this list, it’s staying in my bookmarks forever. And I just thought I could add a site for the statistics, http://getclicky.com It’s really awesome and has a ton of features, And it even has a page before you sign up that compares itself with some of the other big statistics websites. The one thing I love about it is the LIve view. It actively (with ajax i’m assuming) updates the live page with hits to your site. You can click on IP’s and name them, so you can name yourself or your friends. You can also set it up so it doesn’t count hits from your computer (which I’m assuming most stats can do, but this one does it with cookies, which is kind of annoying, but useful if you work on different computers, or at a friends house)
Again thanks for this great list!
Id hit it
MEDIA MAX IS FRAUDULENT!!!
Beware anyone who attempts to sign up to Media Max, as recommended here in the file storage section. They are a SCAM, and an online petition has been started to try and raise awareness about this.
Their initial storage is free, but once you sign up they take your money and you don’t get any service.
I paid $50.00, have never been able to upload a file, and have not had a response to any of the 32 emails I’ve sent them in the past year.
There are also countless reports of them holding the files of ‘free’ account holders hostage (ie. not making them available for download until they become paying members).
Save yourself the trouble and spend the money elsewhere- if you want confirmation about anything I’m saying, just Google ‘Media Max scam’ and you’ll be greeted with the proof.
P.S. Thanks for the rest of the list- it’s awesome!
Thanks for the great list!
For marketers, steer clear of
123 Submit Pro!!!
Website Pros
All three SEO companies are ripp offs!
They charge you outstanding fees and enter your website URL into all of the free directories they can get their hands on. Their service at 123 Website Submit Pro was really lousy. They even stopped their service after I complained, now I’m out of money:(
i’ve watched that parody of the Mac… experience for years. the most amusing thing is that he is describing the windows experience and couching it in “mac.” every time it gets recycled i see windows people get all puffy and they don’t realize the joke was on them.
My biggest complaint about the post is that it took me about 5 minutes before i would even scroll down to read
Very nice list of resources though!
