Blogs that are good and good for you

written by Ryan Rinaldi on Thursday, July 13 2006

My good friend Rob (who started his own company, Ocular Data Solutions) asked me for some good blogs to read since he is relatively new to .NET.  I figured it would make a good post and give me a chance to send some google juice his way. 

Without further ado, I give you my list of really nifty keen blogs that should be in your opml:

  • ComputerZen.com – Scott Hanselman: With the very high level of signal versus noise in his blog, I doubt that Scott sleeps.
  • Larkware News: Mike Gunderloy puts together a great synopsis of what is going on in the tech/developer world.
  • you’ve been HAACKED: Phil Haack that is.  I’ve been reading his blog for awhile.  What I don’t understand is how the guy goes from not writing much, then he starts his own company and forks .TEXT into SubText and somehow he finds MORE time to blog.  Makes no sense, but I appreciate it.
  • The Old New Thing: A MS blog written by Raymond Chen.  Not a .NET blog at all but should be in every .NET Developers blog roll.  He speaks in great depth about Win32 and various other APIs.  You did know that WinForms was built on Win32, right? :)
  • Jason Haley: Jason does daily “Interesting Finds” posts.  He reads more blogs in a day than I read in a month. (probably, my opml is only 168 feeds.  I’ve been pruning.  I think Jason is upwards of 700)

I’m probably missing a few dozen high quality ones, these are the ones that I would highly recommend and if you told me I had to trim my list to 5 blogs, this would be it.

    I think Jon Skeet's blog (and, frankly, his google group posts as well) should be required reading:

    msmvps.com/.../jon.skeet

    He doesn't blog often, but his posts are extremely meaningful, clear and best of all *right* ;)

    Thanks for the compliment by putting me on the list. I stopped counting how many I subscribe to after I hit 1000. A good place to see what is out there is: http://share.opml.org/ I think you might need to register to see the listing - I forget.

    Don't tell my coworkers, but when I tell them I was up late debugging a problem in the code, I was really working on Subtext. ;)
