In the great tradition of the ever linking web, here are a bunch of my personal
all time favorites:
- ArsDigita was a great concept
for a startup. Now they are dead, and only the excellent software is left
(open of course). RedHat picked it up and now sells it as part of their
enterprise solutions.
- ADUni.org was the ArsDigita University.
Great coursework, and all available on-line.

- Developer Works from
IBM brings one of the best resources from one of the most innovative companies
nowadays.
- Slashdot to me is one of the definitive
news sites. It grew a little wide, but still retains the raw uncensored
quality of a community that interacts 24/7.
- Freshmeat provides me with the latest
and greatest in software. I have never went there to look for something
and came back empty handed. If you do, write your own code, and use
sourceforge to manage and publish
it.
- If you still could not find your way, you definitely need to
Google it. (this was written in 1999
when Google was still in beta so excuse the obviousness...)
