WebmonkeyYou may remember how I lamented about the conking out of one of the most renowned web tutorials on the internet, The Webmonkey. I fact I posted twice about it here and here.

But the good news is that Webmonkey is back with vigour. It is re-emerging in the wiki format. Read about it in the all new Webmonkey website!

Webmonkey, RIP: 1996 – 2004

As feared by me in my earlier post, They finally pulled the plug.

Webmonkey, the site that turned humble Web developers into attention-grabbing authors, said last week it is closing down following a round of layoffs in the U.S. division of its parent company, Terra Lycos which runs, inter alia, Tripod, Wired News, Lycos etc.

The end came on 14th inst to the utter dismay of many an amateur wannabe webmaster like me for whom the friendly primate was the primary tutor in our toddling steps to put things on the web!

Miss you, pal!

End of an era of the tekki banana!

Sadly, Yes :-( Webmonkey, RIP: 1996 – 2004

Webmonkey, the web site that made more folks tinker with web-building and back-end scripting than any teaching school could do is shutting down. We’ll all miss the “smart, sassy friend you wish you had”, as described by the Editorial founder June Cohen .

Webmonkey specialised in a zazzy, informal style of the writings on the site devoid all kinds of punditry. The site’s editors ditched the dry, lecturelike tone of other tech publications in favor of a flip, funny approach - the language Web geeks use amongst themselves.

The pain of the changing pattern of cyber-commerce!

Sad, sad indeed!
