Adobe Fireworks is sometimes an underestimated piece of software but it really is superb for producing web graphics. In fact, some people say it is as good as Photoshop in some areas and Firetuts.com aims to prove that point. Nice tutorials, guys.

Macromedia Fireworks (now part of Adobe) is a sometimes underrated programme but we think it’s great for creating sliced web layouts and for image manipulation. One of the tools available is a quick and easy way to apply fade effects to a bitmap image or image object.
Flexible Web Design by Zoe Mickley Gillenwater describes how to build fluid and elastic CSS layouts. It's a great read!
