In a time of economic crisis, web developers and freelancers everywhere have started chewing their fingernails. However, no matter how bad the economy worsens, there will always be work in certain booming fields of web development.

If you havenít already, I 100% recommend that you review it. However, dynamically pulling in an RSS feed was beyond the scope of that article.

This tutorial will show you how to create a mashup of three different APIs including integration with Google Maps.

What I came up with will be known as the ìBeer Mashupî.
There are a few special techniques or effects that can spice up just about any web page. These are the top 20 Ajax effects that every web developer should know. Theyíre essential parts of any web developerís toolbox. If you havenít seen them yet, you no doubt will in your future web development endeavors.
Spam is one of the major pitfalls of the social web. According to sites such as Postini, 10 out of 12 email messages are spam. As if that werenít already enough to make you cringe, 1 in 39 emails contain a virus. Deciding on the best method of spam prevention on your blogs, forums, or even contact forms can be difficult. In this article we will take a look at a service called Akismet and how it can help. We will also look at why some other methods of fighting spam fail.

This is a new addition to the PSDTUTS PLUS section. This is a wonderfully terrifying tutorial that uses multiple elements to bring together the final dark design.

Screen-prints are a great way to exhibit artworks or advertise a gig. Creating a high impact poster suitable for the screen-printing process can be achieved relatively easily. In this instance, we're going for a stylized and coarse effect, rather than a photo-realistic halftone interpretation of a design. So let's create a 3-color design that looks great on screen, printed from your home printer, or screen-printed using the silk-screen printing method.
While design is too often used as a means to persuade us to buy, buy and buy some more, it is less often but more importantly used as a means to communicate positive messages and encourage action. Here we showcase 23 examples where graphic design has been used not to sell us products we don't need, but instead, to fight poverty.

Honestly, I think PSDTUTS hasn’t been as good lately. I’m just not a fan of the subjects being covered, personally. As a designer, I know the tricks to get the simple stuff done, what I enjoy is more complex subjects, particularly about overall composition of a piece.
However, to compensate for that, NETTUTS has been amazing. Tons of useful effects, and I haven’t even read the Ruby on Rails tutorial yet, which looks to trump them all.
Come on AUDIOTUTS, let’s take over as the #1 TUTS site.
