yensdesign – Tutorials, Web Design and Coding

Ey guys! Maybe you remember the last post about the Ontuts theme… so I am just want to let you know that We are launching a new blog tutorials called Web.Ontuts focused in spanish web tutorials.

Here you have a little description (in spanish):

Después de varios meses de planificación nos hemos decidido a lanzar Web.Ontuts, una web enfocada al desarrollo y diseño de páginas web de calidad. Existe mucha información a cerca de estos temas, pero en su mayoría está publicada en inglés. Queremos demostrar que también se puede generar contenido técnico de calidad en español.

Estamos realmente contentos de poder anunciar, lanzar y estrenar por fin web.Ontuts. Esperamos que toda la información que publicaremos os sea de gran ayuda para vuestros proyectos y os invitamos a que conozcáis más sobre los temas que trataremos en próximas publicaciones…

You can read the entire post presentation over here.

Thanks for all and see you soon guys!

Ey guys! I have finished a new theme released in Themeforest, it’s named “Ontuts” and it was designed for those who need a smooth and elegant template.

As you can see, it is made with the intention of use it for website tutorials like psdtuts, nettuts and so on… and other kind of “community” blogs. I hope you like it, here you have a working preview.

So waiting for your comments and I hope you like it!

Hi there guys! As I told you, me (Adrian) and Ivan don’t have so much time to post more tutorials in yensdesign at this time, so we are searching for people that want to write tutorials in yensdesign and promote himself showing his stuff.

What do you need to write tutorials in yensdesign?

All of you can write in yensdesign just read that:

• Write clear and new tutorials divided in steps (like ours)
• Write in english (you will do it better than use for sure lol!)
• Write tutorials that aren’t published in anywhere
• Tutorials about web design and coding (css, html, javascript, php, mysql, layouts in psd… etc)

What do you get in return?

All posts will have a little presentation attached about the author to let (a lot of!) readers know more about you and (of course) the satisfaction on helping others to learn more about web design and coding

So just e-mail me or post a comment please!

As some of you may know, there is a new Internet Explorer 8 released 1 day ago. I didn’t test the beta version and didn’t download yet the new one (maybe when “Multiples Explorers” program add the IE8). But taking a look at some of the advantages? new features? of the 8 version makes me sad, very sad.
