Web Developer Resource Index: Web Developer News

Web development is a fast-paced and ever-changing career field. Staying on top of the latest trends is critical, or you’ll be left in the dust. Thankfully, with technologies like XML and RSS news feeds, this is easier than ever. And much cheaper! I could have bought a house with all the magazine subscriptions I’ve paid for in my years as a developer.

So shop around for a good news reader, an online aggregator, or just use the Firefox Sage extension like I do. It may not have all the bells and whistles of some of the stand-alone readers, but that is exactly why I think it shines. Sage is simple, effective, and easy to use.

And for a preview of some of the feeds listed in the drx directory, have a look at my dnews application, which you can also find in the projects menu in the left sidebar. Note that a few of the resource links that are themselves news sources (which I syndicate), will take you to the dnews interface. To visit the site in question, select the banner image link above the feed, or follow one of the news items.

Enjoy your Web Developer News!
