There are lots of great resources available on the Internet for learning more about programming and improving your skills. Blogs are one of the best, IMO. There's a wealth of knowledge and experience, much of it covering topics not often found in traditional books, and the increased community aspect helps to bring in multiple viewpoints and ideas.

We're probably all familiar with Coding Horror [1] and Joel on Software [2] (so no need to mention them), but what are the other great ones out there? What are the Blogs that you find yourself following most closely? Where you see the best new ideas, the most interesting or informative ideas, or just the posts that make you sit back and think?

One Blog per answer, and then we'll vote up the best so we can all learn from them.

If you're going to give all the good answers yourself, you'll turn out to be a reputation shark. Let the other people answer. - Jon Limjap
It wasn't my intention to 'give all the good answers', I was just throwing out the ones that I personally follow most closely because I already know those. I'm looking for new ones to follow, and hoping I'll find a bunch here. - Christopher Cashell
You can also edit them directly into your question. - Roger Ween
i dont think saying 1 per answer is a good idea, this list is going to get long and full of duplicates because people will be answering this thing 10 times each. - Kevin Sheffield
Hrm. I hadn't thought of that. That's a good idea, particularly for Coding Horror and Joel on Software, considering that they're the people behind this site. I'll delete the Answers and add them to the question. - Christopher Cashell
It may get long, but if people vote up the good ones, then they'll be easier to pick out and find. I agree, there will be duplicates, but hopefully people will only vote up the first mention of each blog. - Christopher Cashell
by listing coding horror and joel on software, you've cheated all the other suck-ups out of their opportunity ;-) - Steven A. Lowe
Heh I went to ask this but thought it was a duplicate. It's handy to have though. - Graphain
It would be great if someone could organize all the answers in a list instead of having to scroll down this giant page. - Anton
@Anton - sounds like the OP should do that editing his question :) - Alvaro Rodriguez
So many answers and no single one deals with 3d graphics =,( - Dave
I don't see any particular reason they would. That's not what the question asked for. - JoshJordan

Coding Horror [1] from our own Jeff Attwood :)

[1] http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/

(26) Jeff's blog has got to be about the worst for real useful information. Some might find it entertaining, but how can you take him seriously is he has never coded in C and cannot understand what NP Complete means? My lord! - Tim
Tim, maybe perhaps it does not matter for the things he do? - icelava
(1) @tim - He has coded in C. Did you miss the post on how he hated "The C Programming Language"? - Lucas Jones
(35) does it really matter he has never coded in C? does it really matter he didn't get NP complete explanation right? look at stackoverflow, it's one of the best designed pieces of software on the internet right now. he certainly got some things right and those that he didn't... well, hands up who knows everything and has nothing more to learn! - lubos hasko
(4) @tim With the assumption that you are not joking... why does it matter if someone has never coded in C? I've never coded in C, I've also never coded in Perl, Delphi, Objective-C etc... Hell a lot of developers might even not have written JavaScript! - Kragen
(7) @tim, I've programmed in C and learned about NP Completeness during my CS degree. However I can't take someone seriously who thinks that these are so essential to being a good developer. - Ash
Jumping sharks since Fonzi... ;)~ - Evan Plaice
(1) Coding Horror used to be my favorite specifically because Jeff posted a lot and on a lot of esoteric topics. Now we're lucky to see a post once a month. Coding Horror is starting to feel like abandon-ware which is why I searched for a post on other good programming related blogs. - DMKing

Steve Yegge's blog [1]

[1] http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/

(19) Frankly, I find it completelly unreadable. This guy spends a thousand words to say what could be expressed in one. - Nemanja Trifunovic
His verbosity is the stuff of legend. However he does make some very relevant points, if you have the patience to endure his writing. I like Paul Graham better though, but he's been voted less. Go Figure. - Alvaro Rodriguez
(1) Reading Yegge is like reading Walden. There's a lot in it, and a lot of effort required to get it out. - CAD bloke
I really like reading Yegge, although I think sometimes he makes the odd leap that is a bit of a stretch. - Quibblesome
(16) People don't read Yegge for the same reason they don't read anything anymore. They have perpetual ADHD. Why just the other day I was in the bookstOH LOOK A SQUIRREL! - Robert Harvey
Nemanja: If you could summarize his articles in one word, I'm sure we'd all love to hear those single words. - Ken
I'm glad to see he's back to blogging. I wouldn't count myself as a fan, but I like to read his entries. There's some stuff in there occasionally that's really good even though most of it makes me wonder if he's ever visited the real world. Whether you agree with him or not, it's worth the time to decode the posts. :-) - Brian Knoblauch

Jurgen Appelo [1] has compiled a great list of blogs: Top 100 Blogs for Development Managers (Q3 2008) [2].

It is supposedly for software development managers, but in my opionion they are just as much for developers that are not managers (such as myself). All of my favourite bloggers (for example Jeff Atwood, Joel Spolsky, Steve Yegge, Martin Fowler, Reginald Braithwaite) are on the list.

I'm rather surprised that no one has mentioned

New Adventures in Software [1] by Dan Dyer (who also happens to be a Stack Overflow user [2])

I don't follow that many blogs, but this one has caught my attention because of the many delightfully well written posts, like this introduction to evolutionary computation [3] - surprisingly interesting, for me, for such a theoretical subject. I (and my team) also owe it to this blog that I found out about Hudson [4] a while back; it has later replaced CruiseControl in our use due to its superior ease of configuration.

Personally I consider it a plus that most of the blog's concrete coding related posts are Java specific (along with some Haskell stuff). Even if you disagree with that, you may be interested in the insightful articles on software development in general, such as this one about the importance of sleep [5], or witty social commentary about online phenomena like the ongoing Twitter experiment [6].

If you happen to know some Spanish language (and perhaps enjoy learning more of it) and are into web development, and Linux / open source stuff, check out the blog maintained by

Gregorio Espadas [1] (a Mexican web developer)
Subheading: Desarrollo y Diseño Web : Software Libre : Linux : Web 2.0

Aside from web development and design content, notable (mainly open-source) software releases and sometimes major hardware or tech business news are covered. This is high-quality stuff; I may not know a comparable general tech blog (for my tastes, anyway) in any language.

BTW, what happened to Mr. Ed's hacknot.info? It just shows a generic site since months.

I rather enjoy:

  • 'coding horror'

and I've gotten some helpful code from Software Evolved [1].

Even though I don't write any Ruby, I am really missing raganwald [1] because of the thought provoking posts, the fact that I ended up learning things that would never have come up just reading .NET blogs, and because the links he posted were always worth a read.

Thankfully it looks like he's thinking about starting up a new blog [2].

For testing subjects, I've enjoyed James Bach's Blog [1] although he must have died because he hasn't posted any new entries in a while.

I also like a guy named Shrini Kulikarni [2]. And from either of those blogs, their blogrolls will take you to a number of other good sites.

Perhaps it's not a "blog", but it never hurts to watch the original (c2) wiki [1]. The link is to the quick changes screen so you can see all the recent edits.

If you code in Perl, following the "journals" at use.perl.org [1] is nice. The front page is OK, but I find it much more useful to follow the personal journal pages of the developers whose modules I use.
