Sometimes just knowing where to go to get the answer to a question is half the battle when doing any project, especially web design. Someone on the CSS-Discuss list just pointed at this reference, Code Style, in answer to a question, and on checking it out, I found it to be a really thorough compendium of useful information for web developers, with a section on front-end web dev that includes information on xhtml, css, javascript, and the DOM.

For instance, the query on CSS-D was “I’m trying to find a good reference to set up some good font-family default stacks with fonts that share similar enough characteristics. Ideally, I’m looking for some examples that contain all your basic web fonts, then a couple at the top of the top of the stack for more common but not necessarily web safe fonts.” The answer is found in the various font surveys here. These surveys allow front end web devs to put together a font family list for a stylesheet that will ensure success. There is also a really great page for those learning web design that explains font family use in stylesheets. Experienced as I am, I gleaned a couple bits of info that I hadn’t known, from a skim of that page.

Enjoy!
