Newsletters I Trust

As I’ve said numerous times: I read a lot. Books are my favorite, but they are rarely relevant to programming. To keep up with the latest trends, I subscribe to a lot of different newsletters. Following are a list of my favorite in no particular order.

Hacker Newsletter

• http://www.hackernewsletter.com/
• This is the newsletter that got me into newsletters.
• It comes out once a week, and is a must-read for web developers.

NextDraft

• http://nextdraft.com/
• This comes out every day around 3 PM CST.
• It’s a list of 10 pieces of news you need to know.
• Mostly geared towards those in technology, but is a good general-purpose email.
