I decided to get rid of the ‘Interesting Links’ since I was terrible at actually updating them, and when I did update them it was all at one time. So in their place is the Weekly Roundup. Feel free to send in any cool stuff you find. Anything web design related is welcome.
Without further ado:
- Patrick McNeil, the genius behind Design Meltdown has just released a new web app for creating your resume online. It’s called Resolio , and you can see Partick’s resume on his personal site.
- Best of the Reboots ’07 – Smashing Magazine’s list of the coolest redesigns in this Spring’s reboot.
- If you’re a web designer you should go and take the first annual Web Design Survey 2007, presented to you by the fine folks from A List Apart
- MTV.com decides Flash is so last year, and decide to go with an HTML redesign. My opinion: Eh, don’t really love it, but cudos for making it quicker to load.
- Veerle, our favorite Belgium web designer has come up with an amazing article on bathtubs (trust me, they’re awesoeme).
- Tired of makign the same CSS files, HTML files, and folder stucture every time you make a new site? So does Philip Karpiak, so he’s released something called the ESWAT web project framework. [note: I was totally gonna do this same exact thing]

And also true: I think that weekly roundup sounds more interesting than ‘Interesting Links’. (To be honest, I never saw the feature…)
Thanks for the link to the ESWAT web project framework. I were looking for something just like it the other day.
I wonder if it will play well with php frameworks like CodeIgniter or CakePHP. I think so because the siteroot setup doesn’t contain any folders that interfere with CodeIgniter or Cake.
Anyways, I’ll give it a go in my next project.

Rom, thats an interesting question. I’ve only just started to learn PHP, so I haven’t used any of those frameworks before, but I wouldn’t think it would interefere (unless like you said the folders were named the same). From what I gather, it’s mostly a front-end framework (html/css).
Rommert
CodeIgniter only contains index.php, so overwriting that one is inevitable, but the other folders are named “system” and “user_guide”. So in this case I think this would work well.
As for cake, it’s got index.php as well and the folder names are “app”, “cake”, “docs” and “vendors”. So it’s no prob here too.

Thanks for the mention Chris.
As for using my framework with an actual PHP framework like CodeIgniter or CakePHP; keep in mine that the term framework should be used very loosely for my project.
Although I’m not a PHP guru myself, I wouldn’t imagine this conflicting with PHP frameworks, since these are just design/html/css shells, and should be adaptable to most projects/CMS’.
Chris
Philip, no thank you! A web project framework is something that’s essential if you’re billing per hour, since it does save a lot of time and effort.
As for the PHP frameworks, I think you’re right. It shouldn’t interfere unless the folder names somehow match.
