The much-anticipated release of A List Apart 3.0 debuted for a hungry internet earlier this week. This web magazine published by conscientous web designers for web designers has been an invaluable toolkit of handy links, tricks, and explanations of the arcane for many moons, and I’m glad to see it up an running again. RSS feeds are available for lazy folks who don’t want to scour through dozens of websites every day hoping for new content.

A List Apart has been a strong proponent of heralding web standards as a powerful tool for making better use of the internet as a content-delivery mechanism. I have found the great majority of its articles to be comprehensive and forward-thinking. I would rate this along with Boxes & Arrows as one of the few serious web periodicals focused on information architecture and presentation (mostly presentation and production in this case). Give it a read.

Thank you, Happy Cog folks, for pulling all this stuff together. I, for one, appreciate it.
