Hi,
the first volume of this year comes on Sunday evening, and brings lot’s of reading. I found the article about logging from Computer Science & Science very practical and maybe more generally I would recommend focusing on web 3.0 which is discussed almost everywhere and also in our Pop category.
And as always, enjoy your reading.
