Link to Top Web Development & Software Development Blogs

Some of the earliest blogs and 'zines were by and for developers.

A List Apart ("ALA") was started by Jeffrey Zeldman and Brian M. Platz in 1997 as a mailing list, with a Web site in 1998. Now on version 4.0, the ALA crew includes Erin Kissane, Jason Santa Maria, Dan Benjamin, Eric A. Meyer, Kevin Cornell, Krista Stevens, Erin Lynch, Andrew Fernandez, Aaron Gustafson, Andrew Kirkpatrick, Daniel Mall, Ethan Marcotte, and L. Jeffrey Zeldman.

MozillaZine was also created in 1998. It currently hosts 29 individual blogs and 5 team blogs -- with links to over 30 more.

Joel Spolsky launched his popular blog in 2000. He started his career at Microsoft, eventually founding Fog Creek Software (also in 2000).

Coding Horror is a more recent effort from the other coast, "published continuously since 2004" by an experienced Windows software developer.

The WordPress development blog gives the latest updates on the popular open source blogging platform (by Matthew Mullenweg and a host of contributors).

WordPress comes up again on the Technorati 100, with an old link to a popular template.
