6 Best Websites for Every Developer’s Bookmark Bar
The web is an amazing jungle. It's a jungle filled with facts, free cooking recipes (because I need them!) and enough Stack Overflow talks to make your head spin.
However, looking into the digital jungle isn't always perfect whether you’re knee-deep in debugging a CSS bug or struggling with an odd JavaScript function.
A collection of bookmarked websites could act as a personal retreat during coding windstorms.
Imagine it a cheat sheet, meant to save you time, frustration, and precious moments of mental stability.
Instead of spending hours exploring websites for answers to common challenges, you can easily find solutions with a single click.
So, grab your coffee, and let’s start on some essential websites.
SitePoint
Consider SitePoint to be your go-to resource for web development knowledge.
SitePoint offers everything from in-depth courses on the newest frameworks to practical advice for overcoming common coding challenges.
Are you stuck on a hard React component? Their wide tutorials will have you blowing up components like a coding pro.
SitePoint’s tutorial on responsive design came in handy while I was creating my first mobile-friendly website. Thank you, SitePoint! No more website breaking for my users.
CSS-Tricks
CSS-Tricks is the go-to resource for anything CSS.
Their articles are an excellent mix of straightforward explanations, practical code examples, and a good amount of humor (because who says learning CSS can’t be fun?).
Need to design that illusory animated button or understand the possible uses of Flexbox? CSS-Tricks will be your CSS teacher, helping you through the complexity of style like an expert.
CodePen.io
CodePen.io is more than just a code editor; it’s an active online community where developers from all backgrounds can experiment, show their work, and collaborate.
It’s the perfect place for trying out new code snippets, getting inspired by other developers’ works, and even sharing your coding creations.
Use it as a digital sandbox where you can test your design ideas and learn from a large community of smart developers.
Coolors
We’ve all struggled with choosing the correct color palette for a project.
Introducing Coolors, a color palette generator that allows you to create lovely, harmonious color combinations in seconds.
Are you bored with the same greens and blues that you always use? Coolors offers unexpected yet amazing colors that will motivate your imagination.
Experiment with different color combinations until you discover the right match to create the desired mood and feel for your website.
Can I Use
Building websites that carry out successfully across multiple browsers is important.
Can I Use is your go-to compatibility checker, showing whether CSS features and JavaScript strategies are supported across different browsers.
It guarantees your website looks accurate on all devices, even the newest Chrome update, Firefox update, and Internet Explorer (hey, I don’t judge!).
Netlify
Netlify improves the deployment of web applications.
Netlify lets you quickly upload code from GitHub and have your website up and running in no time.
Say goodbye to challenging server setups and welcome to a more efficient deployment process.
Netlify reduces infrastructure management, allowing you to focus on coding your best work.
Final Words
Every web developer’s bookmark bar should be an endless supply of resources, ready to solve problems create creativity, and speed up workflows.
Each of these websites has different purposes in the development process, from learning CSS with CSS Tricks to deploying with speed using Netlify.
Now it’s your turn. Bookmark these websites, share your favorite resources, and let me know if there are any gems I’ve missed.
