Webmonkey is Back!
If you’re like me, you remember when (Hot)Wired’s Webmonkey was the source for tutorials, articles, and ideas on building the web. Ah, the good old days of the late-ish 90s when you had to learn why your <marquee> tag wasn’t scrolling, then visited a site like Webmonkey and learned that you shouldn’t be using <marquee> in the first place. (Before web standards were even conceived, places like Webmonkey and even eVolt started the push.)
Good news then! Conde Nast/Wired.com’s brought Webmonkey back, redesigned it, and wiki-fied it.
Why should you care? Though the content skews towards the basics, it’s still a good place to get up to speed on some stuff you might not know, learn new a few new tricks, and, most importantly, share your knowledge a bit. Here’s a place to put your gigantic wealth of knowledge for the benefit of all web-development kind: you were a kid just starting out once, and you have to remember that, without resources like these, you would never be where you are today.
Plus, they still have the logo of the monkey with the wrench (one of the classic emblems of Web 0.5). Welcome back, old friend!
