The folks over at http://wjchat.webjournalist.org/ organize weekly Twitter chats “where Web journalists share experiences, skills, tech, tips and tricks.”
February 17′s chat was about journalism and coding, and a healthy mix of journalists and coders (some were both!) showed up. A LOT of great information was tossed around, and a lot of helpful links were posted. I went through 53 pages of tweets to pull out as many links as I could spot. Here they are, in all their glory!
This is by no means a definitive list, so PLEASE feel free to post links in the comments to any sites that will help enterprising journalists enter the world of coding. Conversely, if you have any good ‘basics of journalism’ links to post for our coder friends looking to get their feet wet, share those too.
