Are blogs killing traditional ASP.NET sites?
While in my 'getting back into coding' frame of mind I've been surfing around looking at various sources of information - I've come to realise something that I missed before - there's a lot less 'high quality' information avaialble today that say 3 years ago.
Back in the days of classic ASP there were a bunch of excellent sites when you could reliably find awesome articles on all the latest toys and techniques...now though it ain't so good! So sites like ASPToday, DotNetJunkies and 4GuysFromRolla just don't seem to publish that regularly anymore and what is there seems kind of 'old-fashioned', even 15Seconds (which was always a totally awesome site) feels a little tired! I guess a lot of people now just read a very few blogs and visit the ASP.NET main site for all their information. This is a real pity, I can't really imagine trying to learn ASP.NET from scratch using just the 'calssic' sources of information. Oh, there is one exception, EggHeadCafe - very cool stuff there!
Hopefully it's just something I'm missing and there's some other sites which do fill this niche - so what sites do you use most, where's the best non-blog source for great ASP.NET information? -
