If you’re a web developer who wishes to constantly evolve as the technology evolves around them, you need to ensure that you keep up-to-date by visiting the most useful websites.
Here are some of the websites I visit regularly to keep on top of the game, feel free to suggest your own in the comments below:
- W3Schools - The ultimate resource for whenever you have a web query. W3School’s provides almost all the same information as the HTML and CSS technical specifications, but in a clear, easy to read format. And it does XML, JavaScript and others too.
- A List Apart - An electronic magazine which focuses on best practices and web standards. If you’re not too sure you’re doing something the right way, check out these guys to see if there is an article available on it here.
- WebDeveloper.com - A busy forum-based community, which is always useful whenever you have a question and need a reasonably quick answer.
- QuirksMode - A great resource for JavaScript and CSS. The JavaScript side is full of useful JS features and examples, while the CSS side is full of compatibility graphs and useful hacks.
- WebMonkey - HTML tutorials and cheatsheets, especially good for beginners.
- DevGuru - Useful for quickly finding out whether something is supported, especially in JavaScript.

Ajaxian - http://ajaxian.com
A great resource to stay on top of the game as far as the newest technologies in web development. Like a Digg or Slashdot just for web developers
php.net - Php sets the bar for language documention. Even if you’ve worked with PHP since PHP1, I’m sure you could still go and find new, useful functions you’ve never seen before.

Thanks TJ - I haven’t heard of Ajaxian before but it looks pretty good so I’ll be sure to check it out regularly!
