If you’re looking for a great source of interesting web development topics, you need to look no further than the Syntax.fm podcast, a show that is by web developers for web developers and covers a massive range of various web development topics on a weekly basis.
For the past year, Scott Tolinski (from Level Up Tuts) and Wes Bos have been putting out top quality episodes. Taking a look back over the past 12 months, there has been some amazing content and the show has covered some very interesting web development topics.
