[Note: I've given several presentations since the beginning of March, and I promised those who attended that I would create a list of links so that they wouldn't have to retype them from the handouts. I started creating a blog entry for this on Thursday night, and when I went to preview it, I got a message that something was wrong with a URL...probably one from Microsoft. So I figured I'd save the entry, and come back later to edit it. What I didn't realize was that b2evolution doesn't save posts with bad URLs...so I'm going to try this again.]

Microsoft links

Microsoft has been a frequent topic of discussion ;-)

• Search HATT and techwr-l for discussions on the fate of WinHelp.
• "The Windows Vista Developer Story: Application Compatibility, Migration, and Interoperability" has been used as a reference as to Microsoft's intentions (scroll down to Deprecated Components). However, at this time, this paragraph is incorrect. I'll post a note when it has been updated.
• See Microsoft Assistance Markup Language (AML) in action! Visit Microsoft Windows TechNet Server TechCenter (Beta), which is Microsoft AML transformed to HTML. (The beta Microsoft Windows Vista Help and Support site also uses Microsoft AML, but it is not currently available.)
• When (if?) the Microsoft AML schema is made available, you can see it at the Microsoft Help Technologies Start Page.
• The Microsoft Help MVPs are trying to keep the MSHelpWiki updated.

CSS and HTML

(Support W3C standards!)

• Why tables for layout is stupid: problems defined, solutions offered
• CSS Layout
• From Table Hacks to CSS Layout: A Web Designer’s Journey
• CSS Zen Garden
• CSS Design (Wiki and listserv)
• W3 Schools
• Max Design (Listamatic, Floatutorial, Selectutorial, and more)
• Position Is Everything
• Fix Your Site with the Right DOCTYPE

Validating your files

If the display is off (usually in Firefox or other compliant browser), or if something just isn't working the way you think it should, validate.

• W3C’s validator
• HTML Tidy
• CSE HTML Validator Lite
• W3Schools Online Validator
• XML-capable browser list

Whew! I think that's all of them...let me know if there are any that I missed.
