Web streaming is the new wave of television programming. Viewers are becoming more attached to this type of viewing protocol because of its flexibility, customization capabilities and mobility. Currently, many of these companies are competing with each other for viewers. Standard programming units are losing money to Internet television because it is more affordable than cable television. Even Internet companies are competing against one another and have begun to block viewers to delineate themselves from the competition. The result has been fluctuating fees and viewers with a number of choices.

Every week my email inbox is overflowing with marketing emails that, for the most part, are not very interesting. But a few weeks ago I got a email from the guys at LearnWebDevelopment.com that really caught my attention. I met these guys at a conference last year and they invited me to check out their program. After spending some time with them and exchanging a slew of emails, I realized they had a pretty unique program and this was something my readers would be interested in.

Textures are very popular with the DesignM.ag community. If you are just getting started with graphic design you may not be familiar with how textures are used. In Photoshop using a texture means you are placing an image on top of your image or design and creating a texture. The texture is created by using blend modes or the opacity feature to adjust the levels. You can use the feature as subtle or as prevalent as you see fit. Hope you enjoy our great collection of free texture packs. If you enjoy this post, here are a couple of others you may want to checkout. Enjoy!

There is an old saying that “time is money”. It may seem somewhat cliched to read, but there remains definite truth to the statement, even in the world of the web. Whether you’re designing or developing (or, as is often the case, doing both), there is an element of time involved and, as a professional, that time comes with a certain price tag. That price may be something that you the pass on directly to the client through hourly billings, or something you may absorb yourself when working on a flat rate project, but the simple fact of the matter is that the is a direct connection between the amount of time you spend on a project and the amount of money that you can ultimately bill on that project.

If you’re anything like me, one of the things that seems to take the most time on many web projects is the coding side. It’s just so easy to spend hours and hours coding away, and then wondering if you’ve actually accomplished anything because you may not all that much that can be shown or interacted with a tangible manner.

Personally, I find this to be especially true in the more functional stages of a project. Coding up plain HTML and CSS can move pretty quickly, but sometimes coding the more complex, programmatic aspects of a site can be a long, laborious process.
