I recently discovered CPU Magazine - Computer Power User, and nearly couldn't subscribe fast enough. Their columnists are all the cats you respect from all the web sites worth reading, and they don't aim for the lowest common demoninator.
I also subscribe to PC Magazine which certainly has its faults, but now that CPU Magazine exists, I doubt I'll be renewing. I also get eWeek on paper weekly as well which is pretty well done, and the price is sure right.
All in all, it sure is a lot of stuff to read on the crapper.
I agree wholeheartedly with aguasch. As another former Motorolan, James Lee's classes on Perl from Onsight.com are indeed outstanding.
James has that mix of technical savvy, presentation skill with an affable demeanor and enthusiasm for the material that you always want but almost never find in instructors. If you ask a detailed question, you get a detailed answer. His Perl classes were far and away the most enjoyable programming courses I've ever taken.
In fact, I liked his course and demeanor so much I befriended the guy. Absolutely top notch... His company does do training outside of Motorola, both in the Chicagoland area, and anywhere in the US.
One of the only down sides of my new employment is that their training department developed their own (inferior) classes in the areas James instructs, so I can't recommend them to coworkers anymore.
