Web DevelopmentArticle - The No Fluff Design MethodThis article demonstrates a design method I stumbled onto which guarantees that you will develop designs that do not have any superfluous features or complexity. It is very well suited for designing interfaces and consumer products, but can potentially be applied to almost anything. The article includes a real world example showing the No Fluff Design Method in action. Tutorial - Creating a Web Site TemplateDescription:This article compares various different methods for how you can create a reusable header or navigation bar for your web site. It is intended for the beginning web developer, though I assume you have basic HTML knowledge. The focus of this article is not to go into the nuts and bolts of how to lay out a web site using HTML and style sheets. Instead, the focus is on providing an overview of various different techniques for reusing common components like a header or navigation bar. The reason for this focus is simple - there are already many, many great tutorials that explain in depth how to use basic HTML and style sheets to lay out a site. But finding good information on how to actually use a layout - how to create a navigation bar and header once and have it automatically appended to every page I create - was much more difficult. In other words, I could have used an overview like this one when I first started web development. Topics Covered:
