A successful blog needs great content. If you are a blogger, and or a programmer you understand that you have only a limited amount of knowledge. That is why you and I need to follow other guru blogs and developers. By following and getting involved in other blogs, we increase our own knowledge, create new ideas for content for your own blog.
Here is a list of the top 10programming blogs you should follow. In no particular order.
1. Scott Hanselman’s ComputerZen.com
His tool list is considered a great resource, and his postings are read by some 20k + subscribers.
2. Coding Horror
Jeff Atwood has been a programmer for years and years; this experience plus his awareness of the human side of technology makes his blog a top destination.
3. GirlDeveloper
The irrepressible Sara Chipps is an ASP/NET/C#/SQL developer who holds forth on life in the trenches with a distinctly feminine touch. As she explains: “All marriage proposals must be accompanied by previous year’s W2.”
4. ScottGu’s Blog
Scott runs the teams that build IIS, ASP.NET, Ajax, CLR, Compact Framework, Windows Forms, Commerce Server, Visual Web Developer and Visual Studio Tools for WPF
5. Joel on Software
Probably the leading programming blog in the entire Web universe
6. Dr. Dobb’s CodeTalk
Lively blog site fully devoted to gathering together some of the biggest thinkers in the development community.
7. The Database Programmer
Kenneth Downs has been programming databases since the early ‘90s, which is reflected in his incredibly detailed blog posts on the topic.
8. Dave Thomas – Pragmatic Programmer
Thomas has authored books on programming (“Programming Ruby,” “Agile Web Development with Rails”) and blogs as an expert coder.
9. David Hayden
Is an ASP.NET, C#, SQL Server Developer and Microsoft MVP with over 10 years experience.
10. CodeBetter
A community of developers who publish best practices, superior tools, proven methodologies and techniques within the software development community. A blog for developers of all levels a place to teach and learn.
Honourable Mention.
Stack Overflow
