Links For Motivated Programmers

Aggregation Sites

• Proggit – http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/ – 20% or so of the articles are pertinent and interesting, 50% are about functional programming stuff and over my head
• DZone – http://www.dzone.com/links/index.html – Programming links, some bias to web programming
• Codebetter – http://codebetter.com/ – A .NET blogging network
• Devlicio.us – http://devlicious.com/Default.aspx – Somehow different from codebetter, not sure how

Forums

• CodeProject – http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/List.aspx – More stuff here than you can imagine, these guys know a TON about open source
• Asp.NET forums = http://forums.asp.net/ – sometimes interesting, mostly kinda sucks
• Alt.NET mailing list – http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/altdotnet/ – maybe over your head, (my too) for now, but this is all the guys that write the books

Funny
