In today’s post, I thought it might be nice to hand-pick some of my favourite sites for design inspiration. Many of these sites take web design to the next-level featuring unique graphics concepts, excellent typography and a clean layout that’s memorable. Learning from other designers is an excellent way for you to charge up your creative batteries and I hope this post gives you a few ideas to help with your own projects!
I just really dig JavaScript. I'm a writer, speaker and a JavaScript developer for AOL (yes, we're still around!).
I'm also a member of the jQuery core [Bug Triage/Docs/Learning] teams where I (try) to assist with bugs, documentation and developer evangelism. Some of my other OS work has included contributions to Modernizr and other similar projects.
My personal OS projects include jQuery UI Bootstrap and TodoMVC, which helps developers compare JavaScript MVC frameworks. I've also written 'Backbone Fundamentals' and 'Essential JavaScript Design Patterns' and occasionally tech review books like 'JavaScript Web Applications'.
First do it, then do it right, then do it fast. This is one fundamental I always keep in mind when developing anything.
If you're a developer wishing to learn something new, regardless of skill-level, remember that as important as it is to read, it's equally as important to get out there and *do*.
Create a new gist or fiddle, pop open the console and experiment. It's effing fun.
Finally, try to be open to constructive criticism - none of us know everything and at worst, you might just learn something new that will help you become a better developer.
I feel honored to have quite a few friends, many of who are spread across the world but remain active and passionate at what they do.
Thanks to @mathias and @jdalton for giving us jsPerf, @divya, @necolas and @paul_irish for h5bp, @peolanha for always being available for a tech review, @jaubourg for just being awesome, the guys at @bocoup for their constant badassery and the rest of the OT-crew for being ah-mazing.
Last but not least, thanks to @elleohellez for understanding my obsession with the web and being the best a guy could ask for.
Great Inspiration, thanks…it's very useful for us

Hey, that was without a doubt an awesome post. I had actually been searching for a photo printing related blog for a while now. Great! I have a similar blog, how much do you charge for advertising? because I can’t seem to locate the details anywhere.
Thanks!. I'm glad you enjoyed the post.
