With a long list of Books, Blogs, Podcasts and Conferences all dedicated to learning the skills involved in web design, not to mention all the top ten lists of tricks you might not know, and people you probably should, I began thinking about how designers learn the skills of their trade. It seems that most designers use some combination of the resources listed above, so I have come up with a brief and definitely unordered list of the books, blogs, podcasts and twitterers that I think are really bringing something to the table, similar lists related to design and markup will be coming soon. I hope you enjoy.
