Geek Stuff
The following is a list of random "Geek Items". Basically, it's a special link page for links related to computers, rhetoric, and other such things that are relvant to my work. They're categorized, to some extent. Scroll down and you'll get the idea.
Web Design
- Barebones Guide to HTML
- The all-time BEST list of HTML tags.
- Matt's Script Archives
- One of the best and most well-known source of quality "canned" CGI scripts.
- Using HTAccess to Password-protect pages
- Although this document is specific to WPI, any server running the Apache web server should be able to handle htaccess.
- Form Mail Script
- This is one of the best "mailto" CGI scripts I've ever run across. And, because it's written in PERL, you can download and use it freely, as well as view and edit the source code.
- Top Ten Ways To Tell If You Have A Sucky Home Page
- This actually has some really good tips and it explains why...visually!
- Web Pages that Suck
- Oddly enough, one of the more respected style guides out there. The name is rather deceptive. This book really has more to do with the rhetoric of web design than it does page-bashing.
- The Yale Style Manual
- If the W3C were to adopt an actual "Web Style Manual", I wish it would be this one. This new paperback is to the Web what the MLA is to hard-copy text documents.
- W3C HyperText Markup Language Documentation
- Straight from the horses mouths. This is THE definitive documentation of the HTML standards by the people who set them. I don't recommend jumping into this if you're new to HTLM coding. It's written pretty dry and confusing. Try Barebones first.
Programming (C, C++, Java, etc.)
- The GNU C Library - All of it...organized hierarchically. Not the best way to find what you're looking for, but it's there...somewhere.
- The Dinkumware C++ Library - Probably one of the BEST descriptions of what each header file in the C++ library does.
- Java 1.4.2 (Java2) Documentation.
- ASCII Conversion Chart (Hex, Decimal, etc.)
