I know good general programming blogs (like coding horror ;) ).
But I want very good specific XNA blog.
Suggestions?
Shawn Hargreaves and Nick Gravelyn are two names that I run across a lot when looking for information on XNA.
It's not as much of a blog, but Ziggyware also has a lot of great information.
And you can also find helpful information right on the XNA forums and GameDev.net forums.
Oh, also, I like to read Gamasutra, which has articles from people developing on XNA.
I really like Shawn Hargreaves blog. He has a lot of code examples and shows a lot of best practices and tricks to help development.
You can start from www.creatorsclubonline.com , they have a huge list of links to XNA specific blogs. (not sure if you are looking at beginner level or advanced level blogs)
Meanwhile here are some...

It depends what it is you expect from a blog. If you're searching for knowledge and techniques, you'd be grazy not to spend some time at Riemer's tutorials as well!

I'm looking for a very concise guide to using rails. I've done lots of work with other similar frameworks like Django so I just need a very short tutorial. Does anything like that exist?
Thanks!
This is best guide for those who are new to rails..
http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book
If you're willing to put up with a few quick video tutorials, Rails for Zombies by EnvyLabs (railsforzombies.org) gives a good overview of the framework.
If you decide to check it out, know this: at the time of this writing, there's one error in the tutorials. The code they show you for writing a basic redirect is missing a prepended slash on the URI. (At least, according to the interpreter they use for the accompanying exercises, it's incorrect.)
Other than that small gripe, in my opinion it's a great way to onboard yourself and colleagues in Rails, before drilling down into the gritty details.

Hi although this is not technical question, it is important to know where can someone find best from the experts.I am new in JQuery, I am using http://jquery.com/ for learning purposes. But it would be appreciable if I could have some better reference learning site for JQuery where videos and demos are available
So presuming you're somewhat familiar with jQuery, I would advise starting with JavaScript.
Code Academy run through the whole thing and you will understand JavaScript
jQuery's official site has a long, comprehensive list of tutorials. Pick the ones you think are down your alley and run with it.
After that, there are many, many good sites dedicated to jQuery.
Some that you might like are:
http://www.learningjquery.com/
http://jqueryfordesigners.com/
http://visualjquery.com/1.1.2.html (doesn't teach, just think of it as visual docs for the framework)
The New Boston jQuery Video Tutorials
This is a very good site.
I have gone through many tutorials and they are extremely helpful
Just try few videos first and see how much you get from it.
http://listic.ru/jQuery_Cookbook.pdf
found this quite organised and useful.

I've been trying to find a good tutorial on how to program randomized tile generation (2D). However it seems that i cannot find any proper tutorials on that.
Is there any books and/or websites with proper tutorials on how to program it and the math behind it?
I know this is not a programming question per se however it is programming related, so hopefully someone can help me out with a link or two.
A good introduction to random terrains
Very basic 2D terrain tutorial
And .this one i found a little more confusing, but it has a lot
of example code.
But remember if you use other people's code give them credit :) hope these help.

More I'm going on with MongoID driver for MongoDB nosql models in my Rails apps, more I feel don't knowing so much about the full expressiveness, elasticity and powerness of its constructs.
Mongoid docs is one of the clearest, easy and usefull documentation around the blok, but still not enough to understand the implication in the deep.
Think for example at the design/performance/scalability/refactorability implication of using embedded one to many vs referenced one to many
I'm looking for source of examples and eventually online tutorials, articles and books to go deeper here.
Thanks in advance
luca
Design and scalability are more related to the database itself. I'm going through "MongoDb the definitive guide" book right now before jumping into mongoid to gain better understanding

I'm looking for some blog that talks about ruby and rails.
Any tips?
Thanks
There's also PlanetRubyOnRails:
http://www.planetrubyonrails.com/
which is an aggregator of many ruby (and ruby on rails) blogs (you can find the list here, and eventually select just those you like and add them to your own feed reader)
I think that Ryan's Scraps is a very useful rails blog.
http://www.rubyinside.com/
http://www.railsinside.com/
Both are good at summing interesting stuff up, got most of the people I follow on a regular basis from there. :)
Ruby Best Practices has lots of good general ruby advice, while Yehuda Katz seems able to not only be extremely productive developing bundler, rails 3 and more, but also write good articles about them.
Other blogs I read not already mentioned include Ryan Tomayko, Pratik Naik and Pivotal Blabs, not to mention my own small corner of the web.
