Today I will keep up my Top 15 series for the last time this year. This post will be the second part of one of my previous posts, which was also related to Best Developer Resources. I wasn't originally planning any "sequels". Anyway, the reason for writing the second part is simple enough - there are just so many great resources that I want to share. This time, I will go with a bit less obvious ones, and, despite the lack of big names, I believe that there are enough noteworthy hidden gems here.

1). this vs that

It is a website with a simply genius approach. Explains the difference between things like :active vs :focus (CSS), class vs id (HTML), for ... in vs for ... of (JS), and so on.

2). Increment

Stylish and informative software-related magazine. Articles by well-known experts such as Chris Coyier, Lea Verou, Dan Abramov, etc.
