The Internet makes it possible for us to distribute knowledge at a small price, and is full of web design resources to expand everyone’s knowledge on an enormous variety of topics.
Since learning is a lifelong task that doesn’t stop after pursuing a certain academic certificate, this round-up is not only dedicated to beginners. It’s for everyone who wants to become an expert in a certain field or is simply curious about the Web and the latest tools and techniques around them.
