960 grid system
I was playing around with the 960 Grid System earlier today and found it to be a compelling framework for web development. You will need to have at least a novice to intermediate understanding of CSS to utilize the 960gs. The video below is a nice overview of the framework and runs about 25 minutes.

For more information check out tutsplus and if your a drupal fanatic like me be sure to grab the 960 grid system for Drupal. It offers a great alternative way to go from photoshop mockup to tangible drupal layout.

Podcasts for designers and developers

I am traveling for Turkey-day and loaded up my ipod touch with an array of podcasts from one of my favorite resource sites– Smashing Magazine. I wanted to bone up on a few adobe products per the CS4 release and added some great podcasts for graphic designers and web developers. The podcast list reveals some great resources like lullabot (which I continue to use for drupal), layerstv and webdesignTV (.net magazine) and adobe creative suite podcast.

The list is comprehensive and worth your time regardless of your experience. So if you cannot seem to finish those online tutorials…lock and load your ipod with podcasts.
