Working on the application development scene, it’s hard to keep up with everything new. Every bit of help counts. Great resources are the eBooks you can find, for free, online on the Web. The books you can find in PDF format are great because you can take them with you anywhere. The ones that are available to view online are also great because you get any updates made on the subject. On this post I leave everyone a small set of links where you can find eBook compilations.
The first one comes from Speck boy Design Magazine and it’s mostly about User Interface design. For instance, the Mobile Web Design Best Practices by Mobify “is a handy mobile web design guide with over 50 tips that will help you build amazing mobile websites”. You can visit the Specky boy eBook compilation here: http://speckyboy.com/2013/06/10/free-ebooks-for-designers-and-developers/
The next eBook compilation is from Revolunet. It’s all about the Python programming language. You have the classic “Dive into Python” and a whole bunch of other interesting books. You can find them all at this Web page: http://pythonbooks.revolunet.com/
Finally, this list wouldn’t be complete without the emerging trend on multi-platform application development: javaScript. Here you have subjects for all tastes: Node.js, MongoDB, Windows 8, and so on. Get them all on this page: http://jsbooks.revolunet.com/
Happy readings!

The Web is evolving in a way that it’s more accessible than ever before, through a growing number in kind of personal devices. One might navigate the Web from a PC or a touch enabled device. The challenge for web developers is to adapt the User Interface to each client device capabilities and support the features on an effective manner.
This is where to Bootstrap framework comes in. It was made to not only look and behave great in the latest desktop browsers, but in tablet and smartphone browsers as well.

Built at Twitter by @mdo and @fat, Bootstrap utilizes LESS CSS, is compiled via Node, and is managed through GitHub.
Along the same line, but with site creation using the new Windows 8 style, you might want to check out Metro UI CSS.
Metro UI CSS allows to create a Web site in the style of Windows 8 quickly and without distractions on routine tasks.
The great value added by this frameworks is that you get a great looking, responsive and adaptive UI that you can put on your own Web applications.
