News

There are some good sites to follow what happens in technology. They provide community powered links and discussions.

Podcasts

Podcasts provide nice resource for gathering experiences and new information how things can be done and what’s happening and coming up in software development. I commute daily about an hour and time flies when you find good episodes to listen. Here’s my selection of podcast relating to software development.

General

  • Software Engineering Daily: “The world through the lens of software” (iTunes)

  • Software Engineering Radio: “Targeted at the professional software developer. The goal is to be a lasting educational resource, not a newscast”. (feed)

  • The Changelog: “Conversations with the hackers, leaders, and innovators of software development.”

  • React Podcast: “Conversations about React with your favorite developers.”

Newsletters

Normal information overload is easily achieved so it’s beneficial to use for example curated newsletters for the subjects which intersects the stack you’re using and topics you’re interested at.

The power of newsletter lies in the fact that it can deliver condensed and digestible content which is harder to achieve with other good news sources like feed subscriptions and Twitter. Well curated newsletter to targeted audience is a pleasure to read and even if you forgot to check your newsletter folder, you can always get back to them later.
