Pixels & code #16 – Web Design weekly links not to miss
Every week I post a lot of my daily readings about Web, UI and UX Design, HTML and CSS, webdesign tools and ressources and inspiration on twitter and other social networks. I decided to put them all together in one place at the end of the week, in case you missed some. They are classified in different categories with some tags so that you can quickly select what you are interested in. Happy reading.
