Web Standards, Accessibility & More

Yesterday I posted my first “live” HTML5 page, hoorah! It’s DennisLembree.com, my personal home page. It look virtually identical in all newer browsers (with rounded corners the exception). And the code validates, of course. I even made a couple enhancement to the code thanks for Twitter buddy @icaaq. It only took about one full hour’s work; not too bad, mostly because it was XHTML Strict previously.

Also, I’ve been working on an article about HTML5 and CSS3 which should be done soon.

Here are some awesome web development resources I’ve come across lately:

• 110+ Massive WordPress Video Tutorial Collection
• HTML, CSS, PHP and jQuery Killer Tutorials
• 10 Cool Things We’ll Be Able To Do Once IE6 Is Dead
• Alltop – All the info you need for Web Design

Guess what? Adobe’s Dreamweaver CS4 Beta is available! And I’m just getting used to CS3! New features include:

• Live View
• Code Navigator
• CSS best practices
• Code hinting for Ajax and JavaScript frameworks
• HTML data sets
• Photoshop Smart Objects
• Subversion integration
• AIR support
• New user interface

CSS Naked Day is this Wednesday, April 9. Promote web standards by removing the CSS (the style) from your web site! This is your chance to show off your proper use of (x)html, semantic markup, a good hierarchy structure. Thanks for Dustin Diaz for putting on this web event.
