Hi Folks,

I'm retuning to the development field after a nice year long break. I'm a bit rusty and things have moved on a lot in a year. I'm trying to get back up to speed. Can you good folks recommend any good websites, blogs etc. that are worth reading. I'm currently just working off the official ASP.Net site.

ta b much and happy new year to everybody.

Good Microsoft Development sites, blogs etc.

NeverSayDie

Off the top of my head; StackOverflow for Q&A, CodeProject, Scott Guthrie's blog, the CodePlex open source host, and obviously the MSDN in general, with the MSDN Magazine being worth keeping an eye on.

http://stackoverflow.com
http://www.codeproject.com
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu
http://www.codeplex.com

And a few random useful blogs from my feeds;
http://geekswithblogs.net/BlackRabbitCoder/Default.aspx
(provides some excellent tips on less well-known/underutilised features and practises in C#)
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shawnhar/
(specifically for XNA/game development)
http://10rem.net/
(Windows client dev, WPF etc)

Shaun Hargreaves and Scott Guthrie's blogs are both great.

There's also Raymond Chen's blog which is great. Covers all sorts from native Win32 dev to little stories about Windows internals and the development of a lot of MS apps.

Scott Hanselman's blog is worth a read.

Devlicious (http://devlicio.us/blogs/)
Nhibernate Blogs (http://nhforge.org/blogs/nhibernate/)
Ayende (http://ayende.com/blog/default.aspx) - comes across as a bit of a twat to me but there is no denying his knowledge.

Basically I look for stuff concentrating on enterprise level .net development.
