I’ve thought about this many times. What info do I find useful, and would other geeks find it useful too? Perhaps. In that spirit here is my current list of Development related bookmarks. Slightly organized. You might find some nuggets of info in here that relates to a project you are working on. Or it might spark and idea to build something new, or re-design a process that is not as optimal is you’d like it to be.

I hope some of these help, as they have helped me over the years. One note though, I removed all my links to PHP development. I just can’t stand using it any more, it’s just too easy to PWN.
