10 Web Development Blogs You Should Read

Today I am going to list of my top 10 blogs that I feel every developer/designer should be reading every morning. I feel reading these blogs is the only way to keep up in an ever-changing industry.

1. Smashing Magazine

Founded in September 2006, Smashing Magazine delivers useful and innovative information to Web designers and developers. Our aim is to inform our readers about the latest trends and techniques in Web development. We try to convince you not with the quantity but with the quality of the information we present. We hope that makes us different. Smashing Magazine is, and always has been, independent.

2. Nettuts

Nettuts+ is a site aimed at web developers and designers offering tutorials and articles on technologies, skills and techniques to improve how you design and build websites. We cover HTML, CSS, Javascript, CMS’s, PHP and Ruby on Rails.

3. CSS-Tricks

Chris Coyier is a web designer from Madison, WI currently living in Chicago, IL and
working for Chatman Design.

4. Web Designer Depot

Webdesigner Depot is an exciting new platform designed to explore different web and graphic design techniques, great examples and best practices.

The blog is a joint effort and collaboration between leading designers around the world which contribute a wealth of expertise on all fields of design, such as coding, typography, Photoshop tutorials and more.

5. Six Revisions

Six Revisions is a weblog that provides practical, useful information for the modern, standards-compliant web designer and web developer. It seeks to present exceptional, noteworthy tips, tutorials, and resources that the modern web professional will appreciate. You’ll find a variety of content from tools that can speed up your workflow processes to showcases of beautiful designs for inspiration and tutorials on JavaScript frameworks like jQuery and MooTools.

6. Build Internet

Build Internet is a blog centered around web design, development, and business. We founded in December 2008 as a loving creation of One Mighty Roar. We’d like to say that we have a long, rich, and noble history — but unfortunately that’s the best we’ve come up with so far.

7. The UX Booth

The UX Booth is a blog by and for the User Experience Community. Together, we’re writing articles and sharing resources on usability, user experience, and interaction design. Subscribe today!

8. Mashable

Founded in July 2005, Mashable is the world’s largest blog focused exclusively on Web 2.0 and Social Media news. With more than 12.5 million monthly pageviews, Mashable is the most prolific blog reviewing new Web sites and services, publishing breaking news on what’s new on the web and offering social media resources and guides. Mashable’s audience includes early adopters, social media enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, influencers, brands and corporations, marketing, PR and advertising agencies, Web 2.0 aficionados and technology journalists. Mashable is also popular with bloggers, Twitter and Facebook users — an increasingly influential demographic.

9. David Walsh

I’m a 24 year old Web Developer in Madison, Wisconsin. I am employed by a great web and print company, Econoprint. You can see a lot of my work in the Econoprint Web Portfolio. I don’t design the websites, I make them work.

10. Soh Tanaka
