If you're a developer, or would-be developer, working on any type of web-based project, there are a couple of free resources that I recommend for following web application standards, and mastering cutting-edge web development languages.

GigaOm: Google Continues Wooing Developers at I/O

As Google's I/O conference continues, developers are in the spotlight. Two new APIs have been released: an image manipulation API, and (more interesting to web app hosting in general), the memcache API. As our sister site GigaOm notes, with Yahoo in limbo and Microsoft missing in action on the Internet, Google is making a huge play for developer mindshare. In today's Google I/O recap on GigaOm, you'll find some good thoughts on Google Gears, HTML5, Javascript, AJAX. Android and Ruby on Rails. Take a gander.



GigaOm: Web 2.0, Please Meet Your Host, the Internet

Our recent post on free, open source tools for web developers showed that lots of developers read OStatic's blog posts. Now, our sister blog GigaOm has a very interesting piece on what all of you out there working with Ruby on Rails, Python and AJAX ought to be keeping in mind regarding who actually hosts your web-based applications.

Free Online Content Management and Web Development Tours

Open sourcers are increasingly producing web-based and software-as-a-service applications. This calls for developers to use top-notch content management systems, and deploy strong web development skills. To improve your odds of doing both well, see my post on OpenSourceCMS and W3Schools on WebWorkerDaily. OpenSourceCMS gives you an admin log-in for many top PHP- and MySQL-based CMS systems--from Drupal to Joomla. You can build content and see how it will look, free. Likewise, W3Schools is free, and lets you input tags and instructions, publishing results on-site, as you work with HTML, JavaScript, PHP, AJAX, Flash, and more. More at WebWorkerDaily.
