This is a pretty old page, containing little, so far, since the dawn of HTML5.
General Design and Practice
Tutorials from the horse's mouth.
The WDVL/ Tutorials - Introductory material on most topics listed on this page.
“was founded to promote the creation of non-browser specific, non-resolution specific, creative and informative sites that are accessible to all users worldwide. To this end, the WDG offers material on a wide range of HTML related topics. We hope that with this site as a reference, you will be able to create Web sites that can be used by every person on the Internet, regardless of browser, platform, or settings.”
A Guide to Web Authentication Alternatives by Jan Wolter: a detailed and thoughtful introduction to the subject.
Jakob Nielsen on web usability
Tog's “Webzine for Computer Professionals, their Families, & Friends”
moreCrayons: description and nifty demonstration of a 4,096 color "web-smart" palette.
Media Queries
Gallery of sites that incorporate “responsive web design” (as my site here does), which means that the layout is partly determined by the characteristics of the display device (usually just its width).
Interface Experiments
jParallax is an amazing bit of javascript that allows a stack of images to slide over each other in a way that suggests, as you've guessed, parallax.
Cascading Style Sheets
Some nice CSS tutorials on Simon Willison's Weblog: The anatomy of a stylesheet ○ Understanding the Box Model ○ Fun with links
A tableless, CSS-based, liquid, three-column layout.
This is a short guide to styling your Web pages.
“It will show you how to use W3C's Cascading Style Sheets language (CSS) as well as alternatives using HTML itself. The route will steer you clear of most of the problems caused by differerences between different brands and versions of browsers.”
An excellent reference guide to CSS2 with examples.
Fonts
“Agitprop”: good discussions and demonstrations of various font and style sheet issues.
Converters
[Latex | TeX] → HTML
LaTeX2html mailing list and links
TtH translates the equations, instead of converting them to images. But see this related comment.
Content Management Systems
Open Source Content Management System List. Last updated in August 2004, but still of interest.
Misc.
insertAdjacentHTML() Enables Faster HTML Snippet Injection
Great to know for people who use AJAX-type techniques. This is much faster than innerHTML and avoids the DOM corruption problem.
Bookmarklet to Hide Referrer
Here is a little bookmarklet that you can use if you don’t want to tell a webpage from whence you are coming. ☞ more
REDbot
“RED is a robot that checks HTTP resources to see how they'll behave, pointing out common problems and suggesting improvements. Although it is not a HTTP conformance tester, it can find a number of HTTP-related issues.” ☞ more
URLs qua URLs
A List Apart: How to Succeed With URLs, Part One
“Good URLs should have a form like /products/cars/bmw/z8 or /articles/january.htm and not something like index.php?id=12.”
Language
I also recommend Fowler's Modern English Usage, which is more entertaining than you might think, and Kingsley Amis's The King's English, which is just as entertaining as you might think.
