These last 30 days have been über rich with great posts.
Sincerely, my Twitter favorites column was never ending when I was scrolling to find the note “30 days old”.
Therefore, for the first time, I won’t write a “distillation” kind of curated post, but will go for a more classical list one, and I ask you to forgive me if you won’t like it… but – seriously – this post would have become even longer and, sincerely, the quality of the posts deserves to make them visible the best I can.
I have classified the posts and decks into recognizable categories, the same ones I use when I classify content in my Chrome favorites
Pro tip: use favorites in Chrome, and then sync all the Chromes in all your devices to have them always with you (also when you are using some other computer).
Final note: you will see that this month I selected many decks hosted in Slideshare. That is because of two reasons:
- It’s conference season;
- Slideshare is proving itself every day more as an essential source of outstanding content.
So, let’s start the list.
