With the recent release of Internet Explorer 8 and the even more recent announcement that the browser will be included in Windows Updates, the issue of Internet Explorer 6 rears it’s ugly head again. As people within the web industry we know all about the issues we face surrounding IE6 and have done for a while now, but will this latest release see the end of IE6 or will it be hanging around for a while yet.
Having been a fan of Elliot Jay Stocks‘ work for quite a while, I was pleased to hear last year that he was writing a book, and instantly placed my order when it was released. Titled Sexy Web Design, the book guides the reader through a project for a fictional web conference which requires a website building.
After a browse of my RSS reader this afternoon, I came across this post from net tuts+ and as someone who has recently completed year one of university it was an interesting read. The article discusses the benefits and drawbacks of attending university to learn web development and includes real-life experiences of people who went to university to study computing.
Overall the article is positive about university attendance although not just from the perspective of learning the techniques to become a web designer or developer, but also from other aspects such as the social side and the broadening of horizons that university can bring.
