A collection of useful programming and information security blogs/tools that I’ve found over the years.

Programming

Coding Horror

Jeff Atwood is arguably one of the most prominant tech bloggers in history. His posts are typically biased towards exploring the human, practical aspects of programming, rather than featuring the deep dives into code that you might see on other tech blogs.

Scott Hanselman

Scott Hanselman’s blog tackles the full pantheon of software developer interests, covering technology, code, gadgets, dev culture and the web. As a former professor, and current employee of Microsoft, his hands-on advice is clear, concise and helpful.

General InfoSec Blogs
