From Romance to Realism: 50 Years of Growth and Change in Young Adult Literature by BookSurge Publishing textbook for YA lit class
I use Cart's excellent historical survey of YA literature as the textbook for the English course I teach in young adult literature. It is more useful, accessible, and readable than any of the standard textbooks (including Nislen and Donelson). The only change I would like to see is a new edition that covers the last decade.

Playing with MarsEdit O’Reilly: Giles Turnbull: Playing with MarsEdit: “I’ve been involved in the launch of a new web project during the last couple of weeks.

Storage and re-use of images using PHP/GD - Part 1 evolt.org: “Publishing images on the web is nice, but tedious.
