InfoQ Weekly Architects Newsletter

InfoQ must be the best web site I have come across in many years for broad vendor and language-neutral coverage on

• Software development
• News
• Videos
• Books
• Articles
• Videos with transcripts
• Podcasts
• Free guides (PDF)

There is also great conference coverage of QCon Conferences with all speakers presentations available. The presentations have a lot of depth.

It is well worth subscribing to. I get a weekly Architects Newsletter which is a concise digest of the topics I'm following, and there is no hard sell.

Every week I get links to download free O'Reilly Media software books.

This resource has probably been the key ingredient over the last six months for expanding my horizons on what it is possible to build today.
