December 16, 2010Very handy, thanks. But I might still print them out- I usually have too many windows and palettes floating around to see the wallpaper

Some really helpful sheets here. More good cheat action on the way
WordPress + Photoshop are some helpful ones for sure!
Thanks for posting this – oh, and the Google cheat sheet list caught my eye too. Beautiful.
Have you seen the anatomy of a perfect landing page “cheat sheet”?
Just thought I’d mention this one cause it certainly is a helpful designer/developer tool along these lines!

December 16, 2010Most are useful. The JQuery 1.3 one is somewhat dated now though. Keep that in mind if you’re using the latest version of JQuery (1.4.4)

December 19, 2010Great resource. I especially like the WordPress help sheet. I’m a copywriter, but I will share these with my art director and web developer colleagues. BTW – The “Anatomy of Type” is poster-worthy. Very cool!

December 21, 2010Awesome as always! Need to get poster versions of these, already have the periodic table of typefaces for quite a while. The wordpress one is actually probably the most helpful instead of having to trawl through functions to find what you’re after. Love it!
