Wow, WebMonkey is dead. And it was an ignominious end, too; a throwaway line in a larger article (someone in a list noted with a chill the sponsored links at the bottom). I learned JavaScript, ColdFusion, and CSS there. It was cutting edge with its lively writing, quirky staff, and embracing of the Web.
I haven’t visited in ages, as my technical journey veered off the primarily designer course they charted. But I’ve always remembered the heady times of constantly refreshed content and steering of trends.
