Web development needs inspiration. And what better place to seek but the web. There are hundreds of specialized sites, showcase sites, user interface study sites and more.

So, here are 30 web sites to monitor frequently if you’re interested in web development, design, UI and programming.

NoDoFollow is a simple firefox extension that highlights the links on the page, color coded according to their follow status. The extension installs into your tools and right click menu and highlights the links pinkish red for nofollow, and light blue for dofollow.

NoDoFollow – A Firefox extension

After the release of Super Mario, entirely written in JavaScript, Nihilogic releases Super Mario Kart. The road rendering looks scarily 3D to me! With a little more parallax scrolling, and some more JavaScript, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some great skies, beautiful backdrops or even a 3D building popping up along the road.

It uses the canvas element to do most of the rendering and should work in both FF2, FF3, Opera(9.27 and beta) and Safari 3.1.1. There are a few glitches in Safari in the kart sprites, but other than that it should be playable. Also, if you’re using WebKit nightly builds, make sure you’re using the latest, as some of the recent ones had some canvas problems. I haven’t even considered getting IE support, sorry.

I see a comeback of all those fake 3D games, side-scrollers and action games I used to play when I was young. The Mario series looks great in JavaScript, and with the rise of canvas in major browsers, the future looks bright.

I’m looking forward to see the Contra game done in JavaScript.

PersistJS, a client-side JavaScript persistent storage library, has been released.

See some of the features or visit the project’s homepage.

• Small (9.3k minified, 3k gzipped)
• Standalone: Does not need any additional browser plugins or JavaScript libraries to work on the vast majority of current browsers.
• Consistent: Provides a consistent, opaque API, regardless of the browser.
• Extensible: Custom backends can be added easily.
• Backwards Compatible: Can fall back to flash or cookies if no client-side storage solution for the given browser is available.
• Forwards Compatible: Supports the upcoming versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari (Opera too, if you have Flash).
• Unobtrusive: Capability testing rather than browser detection, so newer standards-compliant browsers will automatically be supported.
