If I can become a developer you can too. Here’s the 7 best resources I use.

From time to time I’m asked “How did you start as a developer? What’s a good site to use ? Any good resources? Is it easy” My answer to these questions tend to change all the time because my career as a developer continues to evolve and so does the resources.

For the last 13 years I have gone from reading books (“…for Dummies”, O’Reilly published books, etc), to searching the web, to a more “learn by doing” approach. You’ll see me say that alot because the resources I use almost always use that approach. While this might not be the best way for some people to learn, how else can anyone become a better developer if they don’t get their hands dirty.

With so much information available I recommend these 7 resources as place to start for absolute beginners. These invaluable services helped me become the developer I am today.
