Staying on top of a topic is different for everyone. Some people it's just
industry trends. For others it's following the bug reports.

I'm interested in hear what people are reading.

Here's some examples I got from another list:

Hacker News, reddit.com/r/programming, TechCrunch, On Startups, Fast

What does it mean, "stay on top"? Does it involve understanding, or just
learning new words, like what's the current value of N in Web.N.0?

Thanks,

useful publications?

step...@fpcomplete.com (Stephen Peters) — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 22:30:51 UT

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some input. What publications do you read to stay on top
of what's happening in software development, IT, the tech world in general?
Does anyone still read print or is it all online magazines & blogs these
days?
Doing some research for work on what's useful, relevant and/or important.
