News Sources I Follow

The Link Dump Sep-05

Welcome back to good intentions. This week I’d like to focus on tech news sources so that I can provide a comprehensive list for my new students that are starting at Lambton College in the CPRO, CSAC, IPRC, and ITP programs.

The two most important sources I use are reddit and Hacker News. These are news aggregators and communities unto themselves.

But there’s so much more, so I’ll continue and break it down into a categorized list.
