Oh And feel free to email me with any suggested links and do let me know about dead links etc.I have been away for a while and I do appreciate your help in helping me keep this a useful resource for all of us.

About

Andrew Fernandez, known to his friends and peers as dez, started collecting these links in 2003 as a resource for co-workers and himself. Since then this page has been widely linked to and visited by designers, developers and others wanting to learn about web standards. Dez took a break in 2005 due to a demanding contract job, managing a company for an ongoing client. 2006 sees dez once again back online and looking to update this page – a lot has happened in a year. BTW if you are a Melbourne based small business or an individual looking for a marketing savvy communications professional please visit andrewfernandez.com.

Plug-A-Palooza

Have a standards related thing to plug. First read the rules then contact me

The Rules

  • I am really selective about what goes here.
  • You will get plugged if I believe your offering is of real value to the community.
  • Your plug has to be relevant to web designers/developers.
  • The following categories will be considered product/software/online application; book; or event.
  • I will not plug any product or book if I haven't tried it and if I don't belive in it's value. If you send me a product or book that I don't think is worth a plug, I will send it back.
  • Plug-A-Palooza is free. So if you start to make money from my referrals, then don't be a tight-wad, have some class and make a donation.

If this page helped you in anyway please consider making a donation. Thanks.
