How do you stay current?

What technical magazines do you subscribe to? Where do you pick up tips and tricks? Podcasts? RSS Feeds?

I've recently made the jump to Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005.

Here are two books that have provided me with a lot of little nuggets of information on Visual Studio 2005.

Visual Basic 2005 : A Developer's Notebook

I'm also considering a subscription to this one as well, just to keep fresh information coming in.

Thanks for your time... I hope my links are helpful.

Mike,

We subscribe to MSDN, SQL Server Magazine, SD Times, and another good one is Code Magazine. Most of our tips and tricks come from a lot of experience and just digging it out. This is the type of stuff that we try to relay to our users through our training classes, and when an opportunity presents itself, on the forum. There are a lot of resources, but regardless of the resource, you always have to figure out what is relevant to your development style.
