My fiancé, Ryan works web development engineer over at Mozilla. Prior to this he worked at Yahoo! (no he didn’t get laid off). One of the things he says that he misses most about Yahoo! (besides the free coffee) is the internal web development mailing lists. I spent some time looking around for great, public advanced web development mailing lists and came up with the following.
- Babble List (http://www.babblelist.com/)
Geared to advanced Web Design issues, and includes a lively exchange of information, resources, theories and practices of designers and developers.
- Apple Web-Dev Mailing List (http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/web-dev)
The web-development mailing list is a forum where both client-side and server-side developers can discuss their disciplines. It’s the perfect place to look if you’re in need of CSS layout tips, JavaScript code review, help using PHP and Apache, or have any other questions related to web development on the Mac.
- XHTML-L (http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/XHTML-L/)
This forum is here for web developers, web designers, webmasters, document managers, tool builders, integrators, and anyone else with an interest in XHTML to discuss strategies and tactics for making XHTML work.
- The W3C DOM Mailing List (http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/list.html)
This list studies the JavaScript implementation of the W3C DOM in the various browsers. It has a strongly practical bend. Discussion of the standards is not forbidden, but the most important topic should be how the standards turn out to work in practice.
- CSS Discuss Mailing List (http://www.css-discuss.org/)
Css-Discuss is a mailing list devoted to talking about CSS and ways to use it in the real world; in other words, practical uses and applications.
- Lists.evolt.org (http://lists.evolt.org/)
Evolt.org hosts 4 mailing lists for the web development community, the most relevant being thelist, evolt.org’s primary discussion list for designers, developers, and web managers working to make the web a better place for all.
Of course if you have others that you subscribe to please share. Maybe this could even turn into a repository for some great lists.
