Digital Web is taking a break this week, but we’ll be back next week with a solid article topic, as well as the oft-hinted Web Directions South conference contest and more. To tide avid readers over in the meantime, here’s a bevy of “good reads” from the week thus far:
- Our own EIC Matthew Pennell is building a webapp and blogging the process
- Our favorite columnist Nathan Smith ‘s employer Viewzi is garnering great reviews with its recent launch
- Our other favorite columnist Garrett Dimon reviewed Clearleft’s “guerilla” usability-testing app Silverback (using his own in-progress issue-tracker app, Sifter )
- And last but not least in staff/columist/reader news, LinkedIn announced that Friday they will release searchable professional groups on the site. With “over 90,000” groups, the full list should be interesting. Digital Web has a group , and I’ve talked about other web-professional groups on LinkedIn before. Join up, and make sure you visit on Friday!
Regular Digital Web readers might have hazarded an educated guess about our contest topic for Web Directions South . Such that it is, Digital Web is proud to partner with Web Directions South to offer one lucky DW reader with a killer surfboard design a free conference pass ! We also have a few excellent runners-up prizes , courtesy of WDS partner Wacom.
Not a designer? Well, we have an option for you (though no guarantees you’ll like it): express the iconic Sydney Opera House in SVG , or as an architecturally themed microformat. We don’t have any real guidance on that one…actually, we’d just like to see someone try.
Check out the rules below, fire up Photoshop and get your design going. To get you started, here’s a template—classic longboard, dude !
