2012 Advent Calendar Articles
Every year, a handful of websites publish daily articles on some interesting subjects for the first 24 days of December. I have first seen this advent calendar of tech posts on 24ways a couple of years ago. This year, 24ways has once again delivered some great posts on web design and development goodness. A few days ago, I was also introduced to a great HTML5 and CSS3 advent calendar from DigitalPaint. Even my favorite magazine, The Economist, does a seasonal christmas countdown of the most popular maps and charts in December. Below, I am going to give you a quick summary, or alternative title with links, of all the 2012 Advent Calendar Articles on Development and Design:
