At Draft.dev, we help our clients create great technical blogs. Along the way, we have run across a lot of great resources that inspire and guide us.
So, we wanted to build this collection of the most popular tech blogs to help our clients and readers find other great resources. Each post has been written by a subject matter expert who knows the topic. They’ve ranked 20-50 of the best developer blogs in their area of expertise based on:
Writing Quality – Not all writing is created equal. While a technical blog might have a little more leeway than a novel, the author’s writing must pass a certain bar to make sure their points can be understood.
Consistency – One of the most important factors in a blog’s success in publishing consistently. Often, this is what separates an average from an excellent blog.
Longevity – Blogs that have survived the ups and downs of the internet for years tend to have something special. While not an indicator of a good blog on its own, longevity is part of what points to success.
Technical Depth – Lots of programmers cover entry-level topics on their blogs, but deep, unique technical knowledge is rare.
Broad Usefulness – While each of these blogs covers a niche, blogs that are too narrowly focused are less useful to readers.

Go recently turned eleven, so you can imagine how much the language and its ecosystem have evolved through the years. A strongly typed language, it’s become increasingly popular with its garbage collection and concurrency support. It’s massively performant, scalable, and resource-use efficient. Small wonder that Go is applied across a multitude of areas these days, including web applications, microservices, cloud computing, web servers, and other systems/tools. Read more.
C# is a language loved by its users for being versatile, productive, and keeping up with the current problems programmers need to solve. For example, maintainers have added functional programming concepts to the primarily imperative C# language, adding the powerful query-functionality in LINQ, and smoother handling of asynchronous programming with the async/await-syntax. Read more.
Computer science is an amazing field of study, formalizing as a college discipline in the ’60s and evolving through the decades since to become part of daily life around the world. And, for some of us, it’s also turned into a passion. Read more.

Staying up-to-date with the latest trends, tools, and best practices is inevitable if you want to build great software and stay ahead in your career. And one of the best ways to do this is by regularly reading software development blogs.
The problem is, with so many options, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start.
That’s why I put together this guide to 24 of the best software development blogs out there. To make things even easier, I’ve rated each blog on a few key things:
Writing quality: How easy is it to read and understand?
Consistency: How often do they publish new content?
Longevity: Have they been around long enough to trust?
Technical depth: Will you get in-depth knowledge or just surface-level stuff?
Broad usefulness: Is it relevant to your specific interests and skill level?
Before we dive into each blog individually, here are the 24 best software development blogs at a glance:
DigitalOcean might be the next great thing in the developer community. Their library is vast enough to fulfil the needs of every developer. They publish a truly staggering amount of content monthly, with great technical depth.

On Dev.to, you will find a community of more than half a million developers reading and sharing each other’s articles. It hosts thousands of articles, podcasts and Q&As related to any type of coding language, with new content added daily. Everybody can contribute whenever they want to this website, like in social media. This makes the platform very content-rich but also low in quality sometimes, as there is no checking on the published article’s quality.
Google expert Todd Motto provides readers with deeply technical articles about the web’s most used frameworks, such as Angular and React. Unfortunately, the website isn’t that consistent when it comes to new content, but it’s still worth checking out.

The term “DevOps” seems to be everywhere these days, but I’ve found that understanding what it truly means and how it’s applied in practice can be surprisingly tricky. It’s a broad term that touches on everything from cultural philosophies and automation tools to specific practices like continuous integration and infrastructure as code. It can mean different things to different teams and organizations.
To help you learn more about this versatile field, I’ve put together a list of some of the best DevOps blogs out there. These are the blogs that I turn to when I want clear explanations, consistent quality, real technical depth, and practical advice. Whether you’re a DevOps pro or just starting to explore this world, I’m confident you’ll find value in these blogs.
Before we dive into the details of each blog, here’s a quick overview of the 27 best DevOps blogs I’ve uncovered:
While not strictly a blog, the Arrested DevOps podcast was one of the first that I listened to when I started getting interested in DevOps. They have had nearly every big name in the industry on as a guest at one point or another, and if there is a specific topic you want to learn about, you shouldn’t have a problem finding at least one episode dedicated to that in the archives. If you prefer to learn by listening instead of by reading, definitely check out this podcast.
As one of the three major cloud providers, the Azure blog doesn’t focus exclusively on DevOps topics, but has a ton of news and information related to cloud computing in general and Azure services in particular. If you use Azure as your cloud provider, this is an especially good blog to follow and if it’s not, it’s always good to learn about what’s possible on other platforms.
If you’re looking for more news than tutorials or documentation, The Register’s DevOps blog is for you. It’s heavily focused on industry news (with some of the snarkiest headlines I’ve ever seen) and has little in the way of tutorials. However, it is one of the best DevOps blogs I’ve found for keeping up with what’s going on in the industry from a broader business perspective.
As another of the big three cloud providers, it makes sense that Google also has a blog sharing their thoughts on DevOps. While many of the articles here are specific to Google Cloud services and offerings, they also have more general content and case studies.
Besides having the canonical .com domain name, DevOps.com is a blog with extremely diverse content. With categories ranging from DevSecOps to Continuous Delivery to Leadership Suite to a DevOps-themed comic, there’s something for everyone here.
As one of the original DevOps tools and the publisher of the annual State of DevOps report, Puppet is uniquely positioned to comment on happenings and new developments in DevOps. Their blog contains a wide range of content, from reports and case studies to webinars, all very well put together and detailed.
The Etsy engineering blog, Code as Craft, has detailed posts about some of the challenges that the Etsy engineering team has had to take on as they scale as well as more general DevOps and engineering-focused articles. Because their articles are based on learnings that come out of running a large engineering team, they are an interesting look into how DevOps concepts are applied at a large and fast-moving organization.
DevOps Weekly is an email newsletter rather than a blog. If you prefer to have a roundup of content delivered to your email inbox instead of reading many different blogs, definitely check this one out.
Docker was one of the early tools that inspired and even enabled much of the other DevOps tooling available today. Their blog has been published very consistently since 2013 and has some good technical deep dives on Docker tooling and use cases. There are posts about other topics on this blog as well, but because it is mostly Docker-specific, I took off a couple of points for broad usefulness. However, if you use Docker or any tools that are based on Docker (which is very likely), there’s a lot to learn here.
Atlassian has been making developer and developer-adjacent tooling for years, and as part of that mission, has been shaping the industry. While many of the posts on their blog are Atlassian-specific, they do also have more general content.
Dev.to is another site where users can submit articles and content to the community who can react and comment. In that way, you’re more likely to see personal stories and case studies here, but the content varies widely and you can sort by posts that the community has determined are the “top posts” or browse the latest content.
This DevOps website grew to prominence when it published some prominent case studies, but it also has a broad range of content specifically targeted towards running systems and projects at a huge scale. Many times, this knowledge is locked away behind NDAs and other restrictions, but the posts here are illuminating as to how some of the biggest companies in our industry manage that scale.
IT Revolution was started by Gene Kim, author of The Phoenix Project and The Unicorn Project (great reads that didn’t make the list because they’re books instead of blogs). Far from the technical focus of most of the blogs on this list, IT Revolution focuses more on concepts like leadership and how to drive the adoption of DevOps principles. These “soft skills” are just as important as the more technical concepts, and IT Revolution helps emphasize that.
The DevOps Stack Exchange is a Q&A site specific to DevOps. However, the questions on the DevOps Stack Exchange tend to be more technical and more narrowly scoped, such as dealing with specific error messages of a specific tool. If you have a question about a specific DevOps tool, it’s likely your Google search would lead you here anyway. But keep in mind that, browsing the site without a specific question can be a good way to find out what tools others are using and what problems they are struggling with.
If one subreddit about DevOps isn’t enough for you, Reddit user obitechnobi has created a collection of 35 subreddits encompassing everything from r/devops to r/linux and r/serverless and plenty more in between, all collected in one place. As I said in our other Reddit entry on this list, because all of this content is user-submitted, quality can vary. However, if you wanted the most variety of content from following just one of the links in our list, this one would be it.
Digital.ai has a wide-ranging blog covering many different topics, but they have some great webinars and case studies specifically focused on DevOps. They initially got on my radar when they produced the Periodic Table of DevOps, which is “the industry’s go-to resource for identifying best-of-breed tools across the software delivery lifecycle.”
Tanzu is one of VMWare’s Ops platforms, and as such, they have an entire blog dedicated to DevOps topics. One of the main differences between this DevOps blog and some of the others in this list is that there are many different content types including video, slides, podcasts, webinars, as well as the more traditional text blog post.
AWS is arguably the most prominent cloud platform in the industry today and its infrastructure powers many DevOps workflows in all sorts of industries. Similar to the Azure blog, many of the articles on their blog are AWS-specific. Even though there are so many services, AWS DevOps blog content can be incredibly diverse even while still being AWS-focused.
Cloudflare has become a last-mile infrastructure provider for many of the internet’s biggest web properties by providing caching, CDN, and other performance-enhancing offerings. This is one of the best DevOps blogs for learning about the different technologies they’re bringing to market (many of which are also supported by other providers).
Many companies who don’t maintain a developer team of the size they need in-house have turned to Accenture for consulting and support. As a result, they’ve taken some of what they’ve learned and have shared it on their DevOps blog. The articles here range from technical deep dives on Kubernetes to more general discussions of methodology around a DevOps transition.
This is probably the DevOps website with the most wide-ranging content, both in the diversity of topic selection and intended audience, from beginner to expert. It has only been around for a couple years, but has built up a large knowledge base that’s a great reference when you start working with a new tool or a new concept.
Quora is a question-and-answer site where users can post questions, and anyone from another user on a site to a vetted expert can chime in with their opinion. Like Reddit and some of the other entries in this list, all the content here is user-generated, making it great to find out what people are talking about and wondering about in the industry.
While this is the second entry from Microsoft, it’s a bit more general than the Azure-specific blog mentioned earlier in the roundup. The posts here come from “the team building Azure DevOps,” and they are a mix of news, best practices and some technical content, although they tend to be more general.
Similar to the Etsy blog mentioned above, Netflix also shares learnings from their Engineering team on their tech blog. The DevOps category is well-stocked and details everything from security to some of their open-source projects.
There are subreddits for almost any technical specialization you can think of, and DevOps is no exception. On r/devops, you’ll find a mix of blog articles, questions from other readers, and discussions about topics pertinent to the industry. The caveat here is that all the content on r/devops is user-submitted, and while that’s great for getting real-world perspective, it also means that much of what’s posted are opinions that should not always be taken as fact.
All Day DevOps is an annual event (now virtual as of 2020), and their blog serves as a hub for content related to the conference. Here you’ll find recaps of talks, articles from community members, interviews, and even some technical deep dives. Since the blog is primarily focused on the yearly event, don’t expect a regular publishing schedule, but there’s always a wealth of past content to explore.
The Sourced blog (previously known as The DevOps Group) has made DevOps their entire business, and they use their blog to educate potential customers and share their thoughts with others in the industry. This DevOps website is a bit more general than some of the others covered in this list. However, for someone new to the sector, their site provides a great starting point on many topics.

Jason’s long-form articles are well-researched and structured. He also uses a conversational tone with a witty touch, which makes his SaaS marketing blog interesting and memorable.

Noah Kagan is the name behind Appsumo, the SaaS lifetime deals machine. His writing style and content quality have primarily fueled his blog’s growth, but he also runs a YouTube channel with more than a million subscribers.
Noah is a master of social media and viral growth, but fair warning: he can be a bit brash. Plus, not every article is about B2B SaaS marketing. If you don’t mind an occasional skincare guide, this is an excellent blog worth adding to your arsenal.

Unfortunately, most of Andrew’s articles are written in fairly technical language. Plus, the blog isn’t always regularly updated. But if you’re an established SaaS marketer who’s willing to wait for articles, you’ll find this blog to be a veritable goldmine.

Compared to some of the other blogs on this list, KellBlog is frequently updated and comprehensive.

12. Kalungi
If you’re in the business of B2B SaaS marketing, you’ll love the Kalungi blog. It offers a regular stream of dense, consistent articles covering demand generation, strategy and planning, and more.
The downside is, Kalungi targets a technical audience. If you’re not familiar with B2B yet, some of the articles may go over your head.
Plus, Kalungi is a SaaS marketing platform, so it’s not necessarily unbiased material. This certainly isn’t a dealbreaker here, but it’s something to consider while reading each blog.

How We Ranked the Best SaaS Marketing Blogs
We used a two-step process to rank the best SaaS marketing blogs.
First, we collected reviews and recommendations from SaaS marketers and business owners. Then, we read through each blog and selected those with the best:
Writing Quality: No one likes a confusing or poorly written article. We’ve only included blogs that are clear, valuable, and well-organized.
Consistency: Does the blog owner publish regularly? Are they relevant, regular, and easy to access?
Longevity: The best SaaS bloggers don’t wear out their welcome — they know how to fit enough context in each piece.
Technical Depth: How well-researched and technical are the articles? Do they provide unique angles or personal insights?
Broad Usefulness: A good blog provides some useful information, but a great blog offers actionable and practical advice. You can use each blog as a stepping stone to improve your skills and level up your business.

And if you’ve enjoyed this article, don’t miss our other SaaS marketing blogs. Here are a few of our fan-favorites:
Python is one of the most popular programming languages in use today. It’s become a favorite for both experienced developers and those just starting out, thanks to its winning combination of power and user-friendliness. Since Python is a core technology in booming fields like data science, machine learning, and AI, its usage will likely continue to rise.
But as its popularity increases, so too does the number of Python blogs competing for your attention.
That is why I went on a journey to find the best Python blogs on the internet. I looked for blogs that showcased deep technical knowledge, were relatively easy to comprehend, publish content consistently, and have stood the test of time.
During this process, I used the same approach for analyzing and comparing common qualities (or deficiencies) in each of the Python programming blogs.
I looked at the depth of each blog’s technical content and the usefulness of that content. I read a few posts from start to finish to get a sense of the writing quality and comprehensibility. Finally, I looked at how consistently the python bloggers publish new content and did some digging to learn how long each site has been around.
Before we dive into each one individually, here are the 23 best python blogs at a glance:
Reddit is a massive crowd-sourced message board with a ‘subreddit’ specifically dedicated to Python, among other programming languages. “r/Python,” est. 2008, is probably one of the best programming subreddits you can find on the topic of Python. It’s composed of a large community of members (>500K) with varying degrees of proficiency who share dozens of questions, solutions, and ideas every day. As is the case with some message boards, there are no sub-categories or sub-subreddits, so all posts are centralized in one location. Writing is often clear and high quality, depending on the writer; however, all posts are subjective and contributed solely by other Reddit users, so readability, clarity, and even language fluency does not always meet expectations.
Real Python is an educational platform with a large archive of blog posts, tutorials, books, and courses. The content ranges in difficulty level and technical objective. While some of the books and courses are purchase-only, there is an abundance of useful information from 2013 to present made freely available to developers of all backgrounds. Writing is clear, well-researched, aesthetically formatted, and readers can look forward to several new blog posts regularly every month.
In a nutshell, Pybites is a platform designed to help people learn Python by doing. The company specializes in personalized coaching for individuals at all levels – from non-tech backgrounds to Python beginners and advanced programmers. Pybites blog is regularly updated and offers a wealth of information going back to 2016. There are tutorials, project ideas, and in-depth articles on various Python concepts.
PyImageSearch is a niche community that revolves around development in Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV. Live since 2014, you’ll be greeted with weekly blog posts offering some of the best Python programming expertise online, ranging from beginner to expert proficiency. The writing is clean, sharp, and informative, with no filler text or useless gifs, but be prepared for ample promotional links.
Matt Layman is a self-named personal blog, composed of text, audio, and video posts demonstrating useful techniques, strategies, tutorials, and tips. The writing quality is above average, clean, and simple, with few errors and well-organized examples that help the blog’s message without being overly promotional. Impressively active since 2008, followers can expect a few sporadic posts every month.
Python Programming is a content hub featuring multi-level tutorials in varying difficulty levels across several popular Python use-cases, including Machine Learning, Web Dev, Bots & AI, Finance, and Quantum Computing. The publishing strategy is tutorial-centric, but after you start a tutorial, you’ll find the technical subject to be excellently presented with ample detail and supporting evidence. The writing is not poor, just not great. Some necessary links are present, other times they are not where you’d expect to find them.
Mouse vs. Python is a personal blog that shares content on a variety of topics in both written and video formats. A recurring post type seems to be one-on-one interviews with developers, which may be less useful to current programmers than tutorials and technical breakdowns. That’s not to say the technical depth is not above average, as both formats provide moderate expertise and value. The blog has been around since 2008 and has established itself as a reliable publisher of content, as readers can typically expect 5-15 new posts every month. Mouse vs. Python’s writing is simple and cogent enough to comprehend.
Finxter is an educational Python blog platform that offers everything from newbie guides to intermediate puzzles to in-depth technical guides and challenges. Finxter has featured regular posts every month since 2012. The writing is good, not great, with marginal room for language improvement. Like many Python programming blogs, Finxter’s content quality is boosted by supportive links and applicable references.
PyFound is the Blog arm of the Python Foundation, which has published official development updates, industry conferences, and project timelines since 2011. While the blog is informative and provides useful links, it’s predicated on sharing the organization’s development progress and community events. If you sift through the event and fundraiser updates, you’ll find the technical subject matter is thoroughly researched, and the writing is clear, concise, and published with few errors. New posts are sporadic but can be expected between one and five times per month.
Ned Batchelder is the personal blog of veteran Python developer Ned Batchelder. This is one of the oldest and most original Python bloggersrom the early 2000s. There’s plenty of content dating back nearly 20 years; some topics being detailed breakdowns, others simple one paragraph tips. Ned keeps his content simple with no frills. Blog posts are clear enough to get the point across while sacrificing some elegance. The only improvement I can recommend would be more frequent posts; you’d be lucky to get one per month. Fortunately, there’s a huge backlog of posts to study up on, and it comes directly from the mind of a programmer who’s experimented with and written Python longer than most.
Practical Business Python is a Python blog platform boasting a variety of applicable technical subjects, primarily around Python business use cases and operability versus podcasts or interviews. Articles demonstrate strong technical knowledge supported with pertinent screenshots. Most posts are more functional than fluid, but not without references or properly supportive links. Followers can expect 1-2 posts sporadically per month but should be entertained while they wait by perusing the trove of articles going back to 2014.
Python Tips is a personal blog that explores technical applications and nuances of Python. You’ll find a large collection of articles, guides, explanations, and deep-dives, sure to be useful for most Python programmers. Yasoob, the blog’s sole writer since 2013, showcases a strong technical grasp of the whats, wheres, whens, whys, and hows to walk the reader through complex concepts with clarity and detail. Its usefulness is hamstrung by periods of sporadic posting, followed by 2-3 months of silence. Like many Python blogspots, the articles are informative and packed with data and supporting links. However, it also reads like many programming blogs: substance over aesthetics.
Invent with Python is an educational Python programming blog by Al Sweigart, a Python veteran, and teacher. The blog is predicated on providing free tools, guides, courses, and tutorials to help beginners learning to code. You’ll find technical articles with a sprinkle of hobby projects and layman term explanation, and any developer very well may find this blog useful, entertaining, or a combination of both. It would be more useful if it were updated regularly, but the site has been around since 2009.
STX Next is a software company’s brand name Python programming blog. Developers may be disappointed to find a large portion of the articles are generic ‘How to’ or ‘Average Salaries,’ with company promotions dispersed within. While many of the articles are not technical, the ones that are seem penned by software developers and show a strong technical knowledge of Python. Each post boasts an excellent command of language, grammar, and an abundance of supporting links and references.
PyCharm is the blog arm of JetBrains’ integrated development environment for Python programming. Whether it’s a product update, article, tutorial, webinar, or interview, PyCharm has consistently published a handful of new posts each month for years. While there are quite a bit of company promotions and sales plugs, there is an abundance of insightful information. Even outright sales pitches have references to Python fundamentals, user guides, and an overview of programming concepts necessary to use the product. Because most posts are primarily video/audio recordings or short-form text, there isn’t much writing to be evaluated. Still, what’s there has no glaring marks or inaccuracies, and supporting links are plentiful.
Doug Hellman’s technical blog features posts that toggle between brief patches and in-depth analysis of methodologies. The subject matter may be useful to some, but it’s hit or miss, depending on whether your objective is information or function. The posts, dating back to 2006, sufficiently demonstrate working proficiency and understanding of existing and new updates as they affect current programming. The content, typically at least 1-2 sporadic posts per month, is clean and to the point with reliable in-text links to supporting references.
PyDanny is the personal blog of Python veteran Daniel Feldroy. Since 2012, Python veteran Daniel Feldroy has analyzed programming topics and offered up personal musings in this blog. The writing is fairly basic, consisting of simple language and some links that tend to be more promotional than supportive of the subject matter. The blog has been around for nearly a decade, and on average, publishes 1-2 posts per month, and occasionally a month or two with no activity.
Planet Python is another blog that automatically aggregates Python-related articles from other sources. Its most valuable resource is the large index of externally-linked blogs and developer repositories on page-left. Posts vary widely but can be relied on for technical expertise. The writing quality varies from blog to blog, with some articles feeling more like a personal blog and some resembling an informational reference.
Coding for Entrepreneurs is a self-educational course and project blog that helps newbies learn how to code from scratch (Python, among other languages). The content is fairly detailed and provides step-by-step processes, both in the courses and projects. While new posts are sporadic and sometimes appear rapidly in clusters, the blog sometimes reverts to long periods of silence. Fortunately, there is a trove of courses and projects going back to 2016 to keep you busy. The blog’s writing varies by the author; some posts are great, others less so.
This Microsoft blog is a good resource for Python developers who code in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), a popular editor. Launched in 2016, it has a history of consistent updates with 1-2 posts per month. While the focus on VS Code limits its broader appeal to all Python developers, those who utilize VS Code will find this blog to be a valuable resource with consistent updates and in-depth content specifically tailored to their Python development workflow.
SkillSoft is an educational software company that produces learning management systems and content. Python-related topics on the blog only extend a few years back. However, the company has been around since the late ’90s, and you can find more relevant programming content closer to then. Even so, you shouldn’t expect a new post with any sort of regularity.
As a blog from an established tech company, it’s not surprising that the writing quality is excellent and pushes relatively little company promotion. From a technical standpoint, posts offer valuable content with extensive detail. While SkillSoft doesn’t publish quite as much content as other blogs, the articles they do have are modern, insightful, and actionable.
Python Central is an educational Python programming hub with a wide assortment of categories. The videos and tutorials are great for any beginner or intermediate programmer but lack much depth for experienced developers. While the articles provide functional (sometimes boring) examples, the occasional errors can be distracting. There’s solid information dating back to 2012 for anyone looking to learn the fundamentals.
The Python Guru is a multi-dimensional programming resource that combines both backend developer guides and web content’ listicles.’ Started in 2019, Python Guru is a newer blog and admittedly a work-in-progress. The publishing schedule, if one exists yet, is sporadic: sometimes more than a dozen new posts appear in a month. Other months? Zilch. While the posts show technical understanding and experience in the subject matter, the grammar has room for improvement.

Technical writing is the art of explaining complex technical topics in simple language for readers at different experience levels. Technical writers can create anything from manuals, articles, and tutorials to whitepapers, ebooks, and product descriptions for various organizations. Before I became a technical writer, I studied a number of tech blogs and learned about various writing opportunities in the tech industry so that I could better understand how to do it.
This isn’t always easy work. You need to be technical enough to write about a topic but not too technical for the end-user. For example, if a quality assurance engineer wants to learn about machine learning, your article needs to explain machine learning in simple terms and focus on the basic concepts, not the algorithms and frameworks.
If you’ve chosen to be a tech writer, you need to stay on top of the latest developments in the tech world. An excellent way to do this is to read good technical blogs. You can study other tech writers’ work to see how they write about tech-heavy topics both concisely and effectively.
In this article, I offer my recommendations for the fifteen best technical writing blogs that you should follow. I’ve ranked and graded these blogs on the following criteria:
writing quality

These recommendations are a mix of highly specific tech blogs for a certain niche, beginner-level blogs, and general-market blogs. Reading them will help you improve your understanding and writing skills.
Draft.dev

Data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are frequently used interchangeably, but there are significant distinctions between these three concepts:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the field of building machines that can think and make decisions using human-like intelligence. This is made possible through machine learning.
Machine learning (ML) is a subfield of AI that gives computers the ability to automatically learn new things and improve performance based on their experiences. ML is mainly divided into supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning.
Data science is a field that uses various technologies and methodologies to analyze massive amounts of data in order to discover patterns and make business decisions. Data science uses ML to uncover trends and automate data analysis. The data used may originate from multiple sources and be provided in a variety of formats.
If you’re a data scientist or developer looking to deepen your knowledge of these topics, you may be unsure where to start. Blogs by industry insiders are a good solution. You can gain insights on what it’s like to work with data or machines in these fields and connect with others who share your interests, as well as find solutions to issues in your own projects.
This article offers a guide to some of the best data science blogs available. The sites listed here are appropriate for both seasoned data science experts and complete novices, so you’ll find something to help you no matter where you are in your career.

Go recently turned eleven, so you can imagine how much the language and its ecosystem have evolved through the years. A strongly typed language, it’s become increasingly popular with its garbage collection and concurrency support. It’s massively performant, scalable, and resource-use efficient. Small wonder that Go is applied across a multitude of areas these days, including web applications, microservices, cloud computing, web servers, and other systems/tools. Each of these areas has at least one strong Go blog associated with it, often many more.
One of the best ways to learn Golang is to find a Golang blog that resonates with your area of interest and specifically covers Go. You can also subscribe to one Golang blog or more via email or RSS to stay on top of the latest Golang news, tutorials, project ideas, and example code. This is important since there are constant changes to the language, its tools, and the community.
In this article, we’ll look at blogs written by Go users, contributors, and educators about the various ways they are making use of the language. You can use these to your advantage to learn Go by example.
A Journey with Go is a fairly new Golang blog, with its first post in 2019. It tends to stick with a concept over a series of posts explaining it in detail. Interesting series you can find on the blog cover garbage collection, the compiler, and many more. It is written by Vincent Blanchon and is hosted on Medium.
Ardan Labs is a company that provides software development, consulting, & training to companies that use Go in their products. They’ve worked with a number of Fortune 500 companies that use Go.
