I personally like the Google, LinkedIn and Paypal icons. Which ones do you like?

Woork author Antonia Lupetti has recently released a visual cheat sheet for jQuery 1.3. The cheat sheet having six pages is a helpful reference containing the complete API reference with descriptions and sample code.

What I like most about this cheat sheet, is it’s simple and elegant design. Kudos to Antonia!

As a developer, I often design the user interfaces for my applications. These are small scale projects and often have limited team members. During this design process, I always feel the need for good graphic resources. I have been using the FamFamFam Silk Icons for a couple of projects and tremendously appreciate it. The icon set is freely available with nearly 700 png icons in the CC3 license and can be downloaded at http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/

Recently I came across another Icon library called Fugue. The library has more than 2000+ png icons and is also available in the CC3 license. What i love about this library is that there is an icon for any requirement you might come your conventional project. You can download it at http://www.pinvoke.com/
