I’ve personally been quite fond of Dafont for quite some time. It’s easy to use and has tons of fonts to choose from. Whenever I’ve needed a font to use, I’ve been able to find one at Dafont.

But now I’ve got another font site to look at. This one is called ‘UrbanFonts‘. UrbanFonts seems to be almost exactly the same as Dafont, except  the fonts are organized into slightly different categories. This means it’s more likely that I might find a good font ‘by accident’, since the categories are more general than Dafont’s.

Trying to create a logo for a new company or website can be a real hassle. What color? What shape? Can you even draw what you want to draw? I’ve done this logo thing before and it is not easy at all to create one from scratch.

Fortunately, you don’t have to design your own logo from scratch. LogoYes will help you create a custom logo in almost no time at all. They even let you try it out for free and if you like the logo that you create, you can buy various versions of it. If I were going to make a logo for my blog, it might look something like the example to the right. Even though just the logo costs only $99, I didn’t want to buy it just to show you in only one blog post, so you’ll have to click on the example to see the quick logo I made and the final screen.

It only took me about 10 minutes to make that logo (way faster than creating from scratch) and I was quite impressed by the selection offered. I could have easily spent a lot more time there in the careful creation of a logo since they have over 20,000 images to choose from.

And if I had wanted business cards, post cards or even more based off my logo, I could have chosen that as well. Not only do they have a lot of choices, but the price is also quite right as well.

This time, I bring you FreeBookZone. Free Book Zone not only has free computer science books, but books on things like engineering and more than one science. Want some novels? There are some there, too.

There isn’t a huge selection, but it is something worth taking a look at, if only to see if there is something new.

It’s always good to have more than one source for things, so I present another site with free tech books. They also have lists of free magazines you can either subscribe to or get a free trial of. Some of the magazines are in print, some are just online, but they’re certainly worth checking out.

It’s nice to have everything you need, in one place when you’re trying to do anything computer related. Trying to search all over the internet can be fruitful, but can take quite awhile.

That’s where books come in. Books are great. Despite the popularity of websites and electronic copies, I still say that there is nothing like a hard copy of something. I find it much easier to bookmark a particular place and come back to it later than with something on the computer.

On the other hand, sometimes you can’t get your hands on a hard copy for whatever reason. In that case, you might want to try looking at these free computer books online.

There are multiple topics covered (many dozen, in fact), and even links to other book sites. It’s definitely worth a look.

One good thing about books, as opposed to websites, you can print out an electronic book. It’s a bit more difficult, though still doable, to print out a complete website.

I love places like W3Schools that let you play around with HTML and such right there, without you having to mess around with your own text files and servers.

I found one that may be even better than W3Schools, however: HTML Playground. They define a tag, show example code and then show what the code does, which isn’t too special, but they do show it all on one page, in iframe boxes. This is nifty. Go check it out and see for yourself.

gotAPI has got to be one of the coolest web reference pages out there. You can look up terms in HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, Ruby on Rails, Java and more. Just click to add your favorite site and *poof* you’re searching away.

As you type, it will show suggestions. Then you can click on the one you think it is and you’ll be shown the appropriate page in a frame.

I’m really not explaining it well, so you should just go look and see what I mean. I think you’ll be glad that you did.
