Weekend Learning: Excellent, Free Online Resources From This Week

by Sam Dean - Oct. 17, 2008Comments (1)

Some really remarkable resources for open source and web development skill improvement have shown up online this week, including Smashing Magazine's roundup of 50 Excellent AJAX Tutorials (and more)--currently a top performing story on Digg. There are also some great resources for Firefox users. In this post, I'll round up some of these good educational posts, and throw in some learning-oriented highlights from OStatic too.

Smashing Magazine's roundup of 50 AJAX tutorials is a visual tour--full of screenshots--and a good collection of links to external resources. You'll find good information on taking AJAX further with PHP, AJAX forms, and more. Also check out Smashing Magazine's tutorial roundup, covering PHP, CSS and AJAX.

TechRadar's collection of 25 Essential Firefox Add-Ons for Power Users is worth a look as well. It has a number of extensions that I've never heard of, including tools for improving your RSS experience, and improving Firefox's sidebar.

If you're into a whole lot more Firefox tools, tutorials and tips, check out OStatic's Firefox Superguide.  And for many tutorials and resources on open source topics, see our extensive library of open source tools and training. It includes resources for video learning, guided tours to open source applications and much more.
