Study computer graphics for even a short time and you'll discover acronyms, technical terms and concepts that don't appear in the average business programers daily vocabulary.  Where can you find information about color theory, animation sprites, pixels, video card specifications and other graphics related technology?

I thought I would start sharing some of the resources that I run across in my weekly travels.

Dr Alvy Ray Smith has been a participant in many of the interesting companies working with computer graphics.   He co-founded Pixar and was director of research at Lucas Film so one can rightly assume that he knows a thing or two about graphics. 

He has a number of published articles on his web site that any budding graphics developer should read.  Start with his "a pixel is not a little square" article.
