  3. Learning: “conventional” resources books magazines teachers (universities, workshops, courses) conferences (Devoxx, JavaOne, NBIC, NPC) radio programs tv programs

  4. Learning: online resources web sites, blogs, internet forums Wikipedia SourceForge Stack Overflow BioStar SEQanswers RSS (JavaWorld, IBM developerWorks, Java Posse, etc.) OpenCourseWare slide sharing (SlideShare) data sharing (ConceptWiki) workflow sharing (myExperiment, Taverna, Galaxy) podcasts videos

  6. SlideShare: rapid growth in 2007-2011 SlideShare is the largest professional content sharing community in the world. It attracts 60 million unique visitors a month that together view 3 billion slides (each month).
