Well hello there! How you doin? Probably not too good if you've made it to this page. No worries mate! Here you'll find a whole bunch of links to some of the vast resources out there. I've even used a pukey highlighter colour to...um highlight what I think are the essentials. Enjoy! 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.
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.
