Bootstrap is all the rage and for good reason. It’s an excellent framework and all sorts of resources are being built for it and awesome products are being built over it.
If you’re doing some mock-ups or doing some graphic work alongside Bootstrap, using a Bootstrap PSD file makes life a whole lot easier. But what if you’re using Adobe Fireworks?
Have no fear!
Here’s where you can find yourself some sweet Adobe Fireworks Bootstrap Assets:
I’m always on the lookout for new ways to learn ‘web craft.’
Now I’ve found a great resource that has a great creative edge to it.
HackDesign is ‘an easy to follow design course for hackers who do amazing things.” It’s easy to sign up and you go at your own pace (which I absolutely love!).
I’ve tried a number of code snippet websites, but nothing has stuck.
Storing codes snippets can not only save you loads of time, but can be a great way to re-use some of your favorite ‘tricks.’
I’ve often thought, “I spent so much time trying to figure this out, I’m sure I’ll remember.”
HA!
Not the case. If I had only used one of these handy code snippet storage sites:
Yummy.
Automattic has released a free, GPL, flexible icon font that is packed full of nifty icons.
“Genericons are vector icons embedded in a webfont designed to be clean and simple keeping with a generic aesthetic.
Use genericons for instant HiDPI, to change icon colors on the fly, or even with CSS effects such as drop-shadows or gradients!”
They’re also great to download as a system font, so you can quickly drop them into Photoshop for any kind of mockups you may be doing. Talk about an easy way to put together a custom icon set!
We need to teach our kids (and ourselves) how to code.
Just ask these celebrity geeks:
The slogan for this font is hilarious:
“BLOKK is a font for quick mock-ups and wireframing for clients who do not understand latin.”
It reminds me of this project, but in all seriousness, this really is a great resource for wireframing and mockups.

Does your church communications team encourage you to learn to code?
Church communities are great places to pass on skills and discover new ones. Music teams have “band practice” so there is no reason why media and communications teams can’t have outlets to share knowledge…
Here are six free or affordable online resources that might help you and your collaborators get started in learning how to develop for the web:
Visually displaying data can be the best way to convey a message and make your point. That’s why infographics are so great!

Here’s an excellent directory of such tools:
If you’ve always wanted to install WordPress, Drupal or any other CMS on your computer for web development and design, but was overwhelmed with all the details, give BitNami a try.
Normally you have to setup a local testing environment like a regular server. Setup your MAMP or XAMP, setup your MySQL and install your favorite CMS flavor.
With BitNami, you execute an all-in-one file that installs everything you need, all at once. Setting up a virtual machine and cloud server has never been this easy!
Exposing or making it easy for someone to get your database username and password could be more than detrimental, it could be tragic!
Not only could your website be completely highjacked, it could also be deleted. All that hard work–gone!
I never thought I could be someone like this. Only n00bs do this–right?
Wait.
What?
