10 Tech Blogs You Need to Follow in 2017

One of the things I like most about the Internet is the fact that it has pushed people to provide better and better content. It's wonderful that I can go on the hunt for fresh resources to feed any of my addiction (I have at the moment :)) when I decide that a place I've found the hottest one, start to be a little boring.

I'm sure that you have the same, so I decided to create a list of tech blogs whose writers Merixstudio's folks feel are worth reading and following this and next year (the order of the websites is random). Because of a large number of propositions, I separated them into few categories - today I will dwell on most influential blogs focus on technology and web development in general.

I'd encourage you to take a look at each of them, check their content out, and find out which of them fit in with your tech news intake the most.
