Periscope blog/newsletter #

Periscope blog, which is also a newsletter, is an amazing source of passive learning for anyone who deals with SQL. From complex queries to neat performance tricks, everything in short and well-written posts.

Little big Details #

I noticed last week that Little Big Details newsletter is not active anymore. However, it looks like there is still some activity on the website. Little Big Details feature little design decisions in projects that usually make them stand out from the crowd. You can dig into the archives for some inspiration.

Check out the last week’s picks too.
