Practical web design magazine and boagworld

Posted in News on: Thursday, February 2, 2006 by Paul Boag

For a few months now, I have been recording special episodes of the boagworld.com podcast for the Practical web design magazine, and now they have made some of them freely available to download.

The Practical web magazine is supposedly aimed at amateur web , however I think its potential market is much broader. Although I have been recording these special podcasts for months now, I only got my hands on a of the magazine last week and was pleasantly surprised at what I found.

About Practical web design magazine

It’s a light, entertaining read that doesn’t tax my otherwise overworked brain

The magazine has some great hands-on tutorials, reviews of useful web resources, and news/comment on the world of web design. Sure, as a professional web designer, I didn’t learn a hell of a lot coding wise, but I did find out about a number of sites that had slipped under my radar. Okay I admit it, you can find all the same information on the web, but there is nothing like flicking through a magazine and giving your eyes a rest for a while. Best of all, it’s a light, entertaining read that doesn’t tax my otherwise overworked brain. Whether you are a designer, developer or website manager I reckon this is one worth subscribing to (you can even do subscribe online).

More boagworld podcasts

In contrast, their website needs a little love and attention but it does have one good thing going for it… you can download even more boagworld.com podcasts. So if you just can’t get enough of my podcast then scoot on over to the PWD site and help yourself!
