Tutorial9 - Tutorial Bliss.

Last Week(s) on Tutorial9

Phew!  What a week!  Terribly sorry for being away so long folks, but I am happy to announce that we’re running back on schedule, and things are back to normal here.  In case you missed anything recently, read on!

First off, let me thank our awesome sponsors for keeping things moving while we were on that bumpy ride.  Aside from our readers, Tutorial9 wouldn’t be possible without the help of these folks.

  • W3 Markup - Slicing PSD to HTML, CSS, XHTML, Skinning and Theming
  • Branch Interactive - Interactive Development for Graphic Design, Advertising, and Marketing Firms
  • Site Grinder - Photoshop plugin for turning your designs into websites with no coding involved!

You may have noticed last week that we were not able to make any updates.  While I’ll spare you from the long version of the story, I will say that we’ll take proper measure to avoid such conflicts in the future.  The important thing now is that things are looking good for Tutorial9’s future.

We’ve got a pretty good line-up for you ready to be served, and you ought to catch a tutorial or two this week!  In case you missed the tutorials from 2 weeks ago, here’s a quick roundup for ya!

New Photoshop Tutorials

3D Pixel Stretch Effects

3D Pixel Stretch Effects

Stretching a single line of pixels is an easy way to create special digital effects in graphic design. By taking this technique a step further, we can create wonderful, vibrant 3D effects right in Photoshop!

New Photography Tutorials

Before you Buy: Choosing a Camera Bag

Before you Buy: Choosing a Camera Bag

Camera bags can be one of the most difficult pieces of equipment to choose. No camera bag is made to fit every occasion so I will here talk about some different types of bags and cover a few points to consider.

Blackberry to the Rescue

Folks, before you do anything — eat, sleep, start that next tutorial, buy me my next coffee (actually, you can do that first…) — go get yourself a Blackberry or another similar phone with high speed capabilities. Having one on me spared quite a few nightmares last week, including saving some poor guy $1600. Without my Blackberry handy, Tutorial9 may have gone up in flames recently, making this device worth every single penny spent on it.

Blackberry ought to come up with a new tagline… like, “Blackberry. Stopping scammers from fake selling Tutorial websites to innocent Sitepoint members since 2008.

    It’s OK if it takes you time to keep up this great homepage.
    One question: Did you create this page with siteGrinder, or did you write all the code by yourself?
    And if you worked with SiteGrinder, do you recommend it?

    Greetings,
    LBrother

    P.S.: I know the question doesn’t fit in here…

    Thanks folks =) I appreciate the support!

    I personally have not used sitegrinder, but on the flip side, I have been programming for nearly 10 years. From what I’ve seen, they are definitely worth checking out, although I personally believe learning to program yourself is the best thing to do for professionals in the industry.
