What is Resource Alley?

[Mr. EZ]

Resource Alley is your website's Holy Grail. Rather than re-invent the wheel and search for the information needed to become proficient at developing your website, much of the work, cost, time and frustration has already been done for you here. The weblinks listed in this forum will bring you the information, knowledge and skills you need to create a GREAT website without getting lost in the 7,000,000 hit results of some search engine or spending 4 years getting a computer science degree. Ten year old kids do this, you can too! The best of the web is already listed here for you. Save your time, money and frustration by checking out the valuable resources listed here first. Resource Alley is dedicated to promoting the use of Open Source Website Programs. This means FREE website programs made publicly available to you. We also encourage donations to the teams responsible for developing these programs for you to freely use. This forum is using an example of one such program called Simple Machines. There are many others for virtually every purpose available within Resource Alley.

Resource Alley takes an unusual approach to the forum format. In addition to community discussions, we offer a quick link to frequently asked questions from newbies with intentions of developing to those of the pro's. Now many forums have FAQ sections, but Resource Alley nails them down and presents them in a concise time saving way. Take a look and judge for yourself.

Why the term "Alley?" As the definition states, it is a narrow passageway behind the large buildings and thoroughfare where the crowd exists. While the masses are caught up in the hustle and bustle of the internet and search engines, the alley goers find gems and valuables in a narrow concentrated place away from the crowd.

These valuable resources will not dump the knowledge into your skull but it will put it under your nose and eyes for study saving you valuable resources of your own. Need to grow from newbie to accomplished website builder? This is the place to make your life much easier. Many programs, images, graphics, scripts are available FREE on the internet. Many ideas, comments and reviews will help steer you in the right direction. Now you do not have to know where to look. Just look here. Browse the categories and burrow down to your answers.

Many of the resources listed here will help you over your web building lifetime. Some are a quick fix as in finding a graphic download. If you think you can come in here, look at the resources and never return, you are missing the beauty and benefit of Resource Alley. As your skills grow, your needs will change and Resource Alley will continually be there to meet them.

Enjoy!!!
