[DUG] Whar do you read: straw poll

[James Sugrue]

I use wizzRss which is a firefox plugin. I personally don't do enough with
Delphi at the moment to bother reading the community site anymore.

 

The annoying thing I find with ComputerWorld is that it is just rehashes of
articles published in the US version, which a fair few have little or no
significance with NZ. Also I find that the topics in their monthly
"Development" features are not even about development at all. A while back I
remember them having an article about Vista in the Development section.

I presume you use RSS to read the blogs?

 

Does anyone use RSS to read the BDN announcements?
http://community.borland.com/rss

 

I get Computerworld delivered as well, but am becoming increasingly
unimpressed with it. I've had a few people email me and say Cringely!

I'm very much the same. Blogs are very convenient.

I used to read all sorts of web pages and print mags, but now mostly get all
the info I need from blogs:
 
Joel on Software, Cringely, dZone, .NET Rocks, Delphi Digest blog, MSDN,
Scoble, Scott Guthrie, Charlie Calavert, Reddit, Daily WTF to name but a few
 
I still read MSDN Magazine, and used to check the Delphi Community Site once
a week or so. Get NZ ComputerWorld delivered too. 
 
As far as best practice style information, MSDN practices and patterns and
MSDN webcasts are pretty hard to beat, although in that regard I think the
Delphi Community site was well ahead of it's time, just that MS are putting
real effort into it these days.

Just doing a poll on what kinds of online or printed matter you guys read -
computer industry style. Can you email offline (or even here) if you feel
like letting me know!
 
Thanks!
