Apologies if this repeats another - but I couldn't fine one like it.

My day to day programming spans a fair number of technologies: C#, ASP.NET, LINQ / SQL, C++, Ruby, Java, Python in approximately that order.

It's a struggle to keep up to date on any of best practices, new ideas, innovation and improvements, let alone all.

Therefore, what would your top 1 blog be in each of these technologies and which technology do you find easiest to stay up to date with? I'd have a bias towards blogs with broad and high level rather than narrow and detailed content / solutions / examples.

InfoQ covers most of those subjects, plus you can tailor it to only list the things you are interested in. I'd suggest the ADO.NET blog for Linq to SQL.

I have always rather enjoyed Eric Lippert's blog "Fabulous Adventures In Coding". It's not great for staying up to date with the latest technologies but does deal with a lot of the intricacies of C# / .NET. A great site to hone your C# skills.

I like:

  • 4 Guys From Rolla for ASP.NET stuff

  • RailsCasts for Ruby on Rails (but I'm new to Rails so it is more tutorial stuff), and

  • Coding Horror for process/big picture stuff.

  • Of course, Stack Overflow itself is pretty valuable...

Python: http://planet.python.org/

Ruby: http://www.rubyflow.com/

Both those links are aggregators, you can often pick up a few more useful blogs etc. from articles posted on those sites.
