My OPI Tech Talk, on the Yucky Parts of Web Development, is available as a Powerpoint presentation.
In the talk, I spoke on how a few techniques can give you a jumpstart for the Web side of your applications. The focus was on using these techniques and patterns as a way for those whose main experience has been on back-end technologies to create good-looking pages with a minimum of effort and fuss.
Typically, actual code works better than bullets in Powerpoints. You can run the examples live, or download them, starting with the Examples Index.
Some of the resources mentioned in the talk include:
In addition, two of the better free Web designs include Leaves and Neuphoric. Remember to always check the licenses prior to using designs like these.
