Hiya Dani,

We live in an age where no matter in what one is interested, one can find news and analysis serials - often for free - some good and some bad.

As someone aspiring to be an IT (Information Technology) professional, namely a Web development specialist, you should devote some small portion of each month, if not each week, to keeping up with germane technological and business developments. I don't mean to underestimate you, but I suspect you are not already doing something like this.

In your case, I am not talking about research journals, but rather more work-a-day matter, which even non-professional computing "power users" and even much of the intelligent part of the general public can understand.

You can take your choice between text with embedded multimedia, pure audio and pure video sources. For example, if you drive at least half an hour a week, why not load up your iPod or cell phone with a half-hour weekly podcast from the BBC called Click? Find its home page here and and an archive of 300+ old podcasts here. Do any of the old programs strike your fancy? As for myself, I use an RSS reader to scoop up new programs.

I will send you to your college professors - and maybe even some of your nerdier fellow students - for advice concerning suitable text-centric sources of news and analysis. Anoree, do you have suggestions for English-language sources which can bring Danielle up to speed on breaking developments in the information technology world?
