I just got back from a nice and long self-imposed vacation, and I just don't have enough material for a regular edition of the Pulse. I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to answer the question I get asked most often: "Where do you get all of your links?" I monitor around 1600 feeds on a daily basis, needless to say that I get links from a wide-variety of places. Over the years clear reading patterns have emerged… When looking for new blogs, I usually head to the Recent Blogs section at java.blogs. I also look for new blogs on JRoller. I have to admit that the best place to find new blogs is via other blogs. When someone blogs about a new blog, I always subscribe to it. When looking for Java-related news, I usually stick to the known entities, places like JavaWorld, Sun and Javalobby. When looking for tutorials, I favor IBM's developerWorks, Sun's java.net, O'Reilly's ONJava and Javalobby's Tips & Tricks forum. When looking at group blogs, I like Artima's Java Buzz, weblogs.java.net and blogs.sun.com. When looking for new software releases, I stop by Freshmeat, java.net News and the Javalobby Announcements forum. There a few other sites worth mentioning, such as The Server Side and Java Developers Journal. Of course I am only scratching the tip of the iceberg here. Java-related blogs are were I find the most useful information and truly unique pointers. I hope this short list will help you get started in the right direction. Happy link hunting! The Truth is Out There… P.S. ok, I couldn't help myself, here are a few links I think you'll enjoy!
