When I was teaching myself HTML and CSS, I used to refer to Webmonkey, a site filled with tutorials, references, and resources on just about everything to do with web design and development. This was back in the late nineties or so, before the web standards movement gained the traction that it has today. Over time, the site’s content became outdated and I was forced to find other resources. Webmonkey had seemingly died out.

I was browsing Programming Reddit today and noticed a banner advertisement for Webmonkey (2.0 beta). Yep, it’s back, and it has a brand-spanking-new look and feel. The content and techniques seem to be up to date as well. I can’t make a final judgment on the new site because I haven’t had enough time to browse it yet but I’ll find some time to take a closer look soon.

EDIT: I’ve seen numerous database errors on the site as I’ve been browsing. I guess that’s beta software for you. Too bad; I really wanted to check out their article on Python for beginners. Not that I don’t love Ruby but I’d like to keep abreast of all programming languages that are currently used. And I’ve always been interested in Django.
