I need some help!
December 7th, 2009
I need some help on some suggestions that I want to make in small chapter of my book “The Software Craftsman”. I have some strong believes already and I am wondering if people are agreeing with me or if I am completely of base. To keep the answers as open as possible I am not telling you my suggestions (yes I hope for people to actually comment on this one). Also it doesn’t need to be in the .Net space as design principles and coding practices are pretty universal.
So here are the two questions (and honestly I’ll try to make my next blog post technical again) 
Blogs
What blogger or site do you value the most in your RSS feed and why?
Podcasts
What podcast do you value the most and why?
I’ve only been listening to podcasts since I got my Obama-mobile with BlueTooth & a FruitFone this June, but I’ve listened to several hundred hours worth since then. Favs are really based on sound quality. If the sound isn’t balanced between host/guest I’ve got to pass.
HanselMinutes b/c of the pod-side manner, DNR, “the Car-talk guys of geekdome”, LazyCoder, SE is great too, Pixel8 is another GUI-d one too!
Ayende is a great blog, Code Better , infoQ and Code better agreagate a few sources and are valuable sources too.
Podcasts, herding Code at the moment is a reliable one, Elegant Code has some really good ones and some not so good, but generally a reliable source of quality.
However, sources changes and twitter is sometimes a good way to find out new interesting things
Good luck with the book
