Yes that's right, Quer, and not Queer!
Sorry for the bad language, and sorry for not reviewing and posting for sometime now.

Let's have a fresh start this year, and let's start with an interesting website that I stumbled upon (and I do that a lot actually).

There is no specific technical category for Quertime.
It is full of articles that you will for sure find both interesting and useful.

Quertime says it provides useful websites, tools, tips, tools, and freebies.

you can find articles such as "13 Tips to Extend Your Smartphone Battery Life "

or " 9 Online Tools to Create Custom Maps and Get Directions" .

But personally, I find articles that provide lists  as the last one mentioned above, to be what you find most on Quertime.com.

So, I recommend liking their Facebook page, so you can follow them up, I'm sure you'll find lots of interesting technical stuff.

Enjoy, and don't forget to share.

Oh and BTW, like our Facebook page if you didn't yet, and invite your friends to like too.
We too have interesting stuff!

HTML Goodies

This is probably one of the oldest sites on the web that is still live online.
HTML Goodies started on 1992 (I remember I first logged in online in 1997!)

At that time, the internet was just in its beginning, and HTML Goodies wanted to teach people HTML and how to build websites.

Despite the simplicity of the web site and its subject, HTML Goodies has evolved to include subjects beyond HTML.

It now includes subjects such as CSS, ASP, JavaScript, you name it!
Any thing that is connected to web building, and it is mostly targeted towards beginners.

So pay it a visit ( http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ ), and start with the "getting started" link on the left block of the web site. (this is where the index of the tutorials is).

Or you can go to the "New to HTML Goodies" button on the top.
Hope it will benefit you.

The Site Wizard

Remember one the first sites that I reviewed was W3SCHOOLS.COM (check out the following post: http://techfountains.blogspot.com/2009/09/web-building-for-beginners.html )

I called it web building for beginners.

W3SCHOOLS is still is a very good place to start learning how to build websites.

Yet, you might just need more than that.

To explain what I mean check out: http://www.thesitewizard.com/

Here, not only do you start learning how to build a website, you also learn how to choose a domain, register it, find a host, publish your website on a host, and even how to make revenue from your website.

I came across The Site Wizard when I was searching for a tutorial for Dreamweaver (a powerful web design software from Adobe).

They are flooded with tutorials, and as they say, these articles and tutorials that they have are intended  for "people just starting out as webmasters".

So I guess this site is a step up from W3SCHOOLS.

Check it out, and don't get fooled by their old style interface and lack of animation or graphics.

After all, as someone seeking knowledge, it is the content that matters :-)

DesignModo

Ok, if you are a web or graphic designer, then DesignModo is a must  for you!

Even if you're new to the design world, DesignModo can help you a lot with learning what you need.

From tutorials, to random tips, to free stuff, and even free samples and examples, the chances are, you will spend more time on DesignModo than on any other site teaching graphics and design.

I will not say any more. visit DesignModo and explore it for your self, it's so easy to navigate.

http://designmodo.com/

You can also visit their facebook page : http://www.facebook.com/designmodo

or follow them up on twitter : http://twitter.com/designmodo

Mobile Development Tutorials

This is an amazing resource for you if you are, or planning to be, a mobile apps developer.

I've been following it on facebook and twitter, and I not only found extremely useful tutorials, but I also got acquainted with new platforms and technologies that made developing mobile apps for me much easier!

I am on my way to adding "Mobile App Developer"  to my range of business, and without doubt, visiting mobile.tutsplus.com is a daily habit for me.

One last thing to mention; mobile.tutsplus.com is part of the tutsplus network (I think this is short for "tutorials plus").

It is a network of eleven websites covering a wide range of popular technical subjects.

So pay them a visit, I'm sure you'll find some useful information for you.

A soft introduction to C sharp

Share
I'm not going to speak much about this site,


http://www.csharp-station.com/  is  simply a beginners introduction to C# ( C sharp programming language).

Best suited for beginners in particular.

It's simple and straight forward, and again, more language-specific resources :)

Lets Go VB camping!

Share
I'm still insisting on compensating for not writing much about Visual Basic resources, one of the most, if not the most popular programming language.

VBExplorer.com is one of the most popular resources for Visual Basic, it includes tutorials, sample codes, and even a contest for coders.

It has a special corner for Visual Basic game programming, with media files, sample games code, looks so sweet.

The best part about VBExplorer.com is that it is not oriented for a specific level of programmers, it ranges from beginner to novice programmer resources.

Visual Basic Tutorials

Share
I noticed that I have not posted any web resources for Visual Basic!

Makes me look bad as a blogger for technical resources :)

VBtutor is a good place to start.

Weather you're looking for tutorials for VBA (Visual Basic for Applications, very popular for Microsoft Office), VB6 (old but effective), VB.net ( a famous member of the dot net family).

The tutorials are divided into short chapters, which can be digested easily.

You can also find the tutorials in different formats such as flash or HTML.

So pay this site a visit, I'm sure you'll like it.

It's the Ninja Tutorials!

Remember the Ninja Turtles? sure you do :)
Remember how they were all winners, and how they were always on the go, and always ready, yet they were so cool!

this is what I thought when I ran into this web site Tutorial Ninjas

They have a ton of cool tutorials to do cool stuff with your gadgets, website, and anything else.

their website contains a number of forums, and what more? A place where you can post your own technical questions, and the Ninjas will come on the rescue to answer it for you!

Check out this example tutorial from their website:
http://ninjas4hire.com/posts/unlimited-free-text-messaging-with-your-iphone/

More iPhone, iPod, iPad ...ect.

Not long before I reviewed a site about Apple portable babies (you can check it out here ).

Today, I'm reviewing a similar site: http://italkmagazine.com/

I highly recommend it for beginners, you can find a wealth of how-to's.

For the rest of the users, you should check out the Tips and tricks, articles, and application reviews.

Much more is available on this site. Check it out.

The .net Developer City

DevCity.NET

One of the best resources for Microsoft .net developers and newbies.

Lots of forums, tons of articles, and a special corner for newbies.

If you are interested in Microsoft .net, no matter what level you're in, or what platform you're using, you'll make use of http://devcity.net/

Scriptomania !

This not a word from some commercial break, this what popped up in mind after navigating through www.Scriptol.com

A simple, yet resourceful website, dedicated for those interested in building websites or blogs.

I kind of got the impression that it is oriented for the beginners more than it is for the professionals.

I liked the topics in the "How To" Section,
"How to locate someone through his mobile" or "How to find the country of a certain IP address".
Cute stuff indeed.
Hope you like it.

The Game Creators

At a first glance http://www.thegamecreators.com/  looks like an online store for Game Development tools and products.

 Actually it is, but moreover, it is full of cool tips, forums, news letters...etc. a full community for game developers.

They also have a range of tools that even beginners can use to start building games, some don't even require programming skills.

the best place to start on this website is to start by watching the "About The Game Creators" video on the landing page.

I forget to tell you, this website allows you to list your games (that you developed) on their online store. Another cool thing that you can make use of on this site.

Watching the video kind of motivated me to start building games.
After all, it's fun, and it's a multi-billion dollar industry.

More About Instrumentation

OK, don't judge me :)

It seems that as an instrumentation engineer, I have a thing for automation and measurement web sites.

I ran into http://globalautomation.info/ through its creator's profile on facebook.
it seems that he's an  instrumentation engineer located in India. He calls himself simply "Instrumentation Engineer".

For beginners, you can enjoy the wealth of tutorials this website provides.
And there is a bunch of pdf's that are free to download in both the Downloads, and the Tutorials section.

It also has a corner for job openings in the instrumentation field, a ranking for the top instrumentation companies, a ticker for the industry's news, and a link to a blog managed by the site's creator.

I'd say it is a simple and useful site. I hope you'll like it.

Computer Tips From a Computer Guy

This is the title our blogger chose for his blog Online Tech Tips

What I like about this blog is the amount of "How To's" it's covering, and for a wide range of readers from beginners to advanced tech professionals (even though it seems as it is serving beginners mostly).

So log on to http://www.online-tech-tips.com/
Check it out, you might find something you like.

Learn PLC

well engineers will be mostly interested in this.

PLCs (or Programmable Logic Controllers) are widely used in factories, and the industrial sector.
These babies control the way the industrial process goes, they can open a valve when a button is pushed some where, they can start cooling when there is over heat, almost any thing if they were well programmed.

Even though there are more advanced versions of these PLC's such as PAC (Programmable Automation Controllers), PLC's are still somehow dominant in the industrial market.

PLCS.net  is a web site aiming to teach people even without proper background how PLC's work.

It also provides tutorials (with animation sometimes).

 

It is rather a good resource for starters anyway.

Check it out, hope it is of use to you :)

Website Tips

The name says it all : http://websitetips.com/ is a cute resource for web designers.

The website keeps repeating the words "Tutorials and tips" on most of its pages.

The website contains recommendations for books and saoftware downloads.
It also contains web resources for web design.

It's a relatively rich site for web designing information.

hope you like it :)

Some information presented in webcasts, white papers...etc.

Not just a smart name, but smart content too.

Web weaver is full of resources for anyone who wants to learn web design, or learn more about it.

It also contains tools, tempelates, clip art, almost everything a webdesigner needs.

I must say I adored the site, I hope you will too :)
