Web Advent Calendars for Geeks | NYC PHP Developer

Every December 1, various tech and design communities show their Christmas spirit by publishing articles using the advent calendar. These articles are released as a series, publishing one article per day, to their audience. The communities represent a variety of topics. Some of the topics this post will cover are:

Accessibility
Code
PHP
System Administration
User Experience
Web Design

You’ll get the best experience from advent calendar articles, by reading them on the day they’re published. Depending upon how many calendars you follow, it can be difficult to catch up if you fall too far behind. If you find yourself wanting more articles, you can always add another calendar to follow. However, you may find it interesting, to read the article of the same day from a previous year. In technology, we often experience cycles, or trends, that return after a time. What once was new becomes old, but it can become new again. Reading through previous years’ articles, may be just thing to help you, with what you want to learn today.

24 Ways

I’m not sure when it became popular to publish a tech/design advent calendar. But, in my mind, 24 Ways is where it all began. Back in December 2005, Drew McLellan released the first 24 Ways as a advent calendar for web geeks. Ever since, they’ve consistently published high quality, curated content, coupled with an attractive website design.

The current year is on their homepage, but you can also look through the archives.
