As well as the main technology blog there are a number of dedicated resource section on www.jasonslater.co.uk covering areas of technology which are particularly interesting.

Books

Technology books, both fact and fiction, are discussed in the books section. Technology books can be brand new or very old – as long as they have an interesting technology aspect to them you can find them in this section. There is also a list of my favourite technology books and a link for each book where you can easily obtain it – why not read one yourself. Perhaps you have read one of the books here? If so, let me know your thoughts and I will include them in this section.

Twitter Resources

Do we all love Twitter? Of course we do. Twitter is a relatively simple technology but is becoming a phenomenon globally as well here in the UK. The act of tweeting is catching on with everyone from students, professionals to well known celebrities. We aim this section to include every important thing you might ever want to know about Twitter.

Free Downloads

The free downloads section includes an array of useful things for you to download free, and the list is growing almost every day. We have check lists, posters, forms, how to sheets, white papers and E-books – all focusing on areas of technology. Some of the interesting things you can download include a home working check list, a Photoshop shortcut poster and a regularly updated Buzzword Bingo sheet.

Broadband Tester

Not happy with your Broadband or ADSL speed? Unsure of what all the technology terms mean? Not sure you are getting what you pay for? Give the Broadband Tester a try and learn more about some of the issues around the provision of Broadband. In this section we not only test your broadband speed but try and uncover the mysteries behind terms like ADSL, the last mile, “up to”, and throughput.

RFC Review

The Internet is founded on technical, and often non-technical, discussions carried out by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETC) Requests For Comments (RFC) system. In this section we can discuss the various requests for comments and see how they lead to the development of familiar protocols which form the internet, including HTTP, TELNET, FTP and more. We can also track and follow the development of the RFC system itself as its starts out from humble beginnings.
