CheatSheets That Webdesigners Should Use

June 29, 2008 3 Comments →

Some time back I discovered some of the so-called CheatSheets. These CheatSheets are PDF files packed full of information on a specific topic. In this article I will give you a couple of those CheatSheets, with a explanation and download link.

CSS related

CSS CheatSheet by IloveJackDaniels.com – This Cheat Sheet is the first one I ever saw and is very advanced. If you have forgotten a small thing or if you aren’t sure things are possible, this CheatSheet is here for the resque. All CSS developers should have this one available and printed on their desk.

Leslie Franke’s CSS CheatSheet – A less advanced CheatSheet as Dave Child’s one but it’s very easy to understand and the look is great. I really like the cleanness and organization of the design.

HTML Related

HTML CheatSheet by IloveJackDaniels.com – Yes, yet again IloveJackDaniels.com, because I think Dave Child really created some great Sheets. This is the only one I have used, but I don’t need it anymore.

ASCII Character Codes Table – Use this one all the time because I don’t remember all them signs and marks and their HTML entities. This is simply a great reference.

WordPress related

Wp-Loop by bueltge.de – Very simple CheatSheet with exactly the information you need if you are working on a WordPress theme. The loop is always a bit hard, and really important to do that right.

WordPress Help Sheet by WPcandy – WPcandy has developed a Sheet that includes the general WordPress theme knowledge. It is very handy when you are just starting out developing themes.

Miscellaneous CheatSheets

Web safe color color chart – Handy if you need a couple HEX color codes and you need to know if those are web-safe. I don’t use it myself, because I have a great Firefox plugin called ColorZilla installed, but it could be handy in some cases.

Google’s CheatSheet – Get all the Google commands in one place with this great CheatSheet. Take a look yourself and find out what you can do with Google. Many things, I guess.

Htaccess CheatSheet – Htaccess isn’t as expanded as it could be, but with this CheatSheet it is easy to find everything you need.

Photoshop Shortcuts – Great reference to learn the shortcuts you could use in Photoshop CS2. I didn’t know Photoshop had that many!

I hope that help.
