Since 2007, November 30 is the day where web professionals all around the world celebrate web standards and web accessibility.
During this international online event partecipants post photos of themselves wearing a blue beanie as a symbol of their commitment, their support to the cause and as a reminder of the importance of using web standards.
The event takes its inspiration from the iconic cover image of Jeffrey Zeldman’s book, "Designing With Web Standards".
For the occasion, I decided to put together this brief collection of some of my personal related favourites resources (blog post, books, tools, etc).
