Good reference list. I didn't realize there were so many search engines.

Bento is a website that, thanks to its author Jon Chan and the many user contributions, has gathered, organized and curated the very best resources available online where you can learn how to code. From html to javascript, ruby, php, Java, perl, Bento offers learning guidance for over 80 different technologies and coding languages. Here is how Jon Chan, a 23 years old who launched this project in September of 2013, describes Bento: I started learning to code when I was very young - about ten years old. Then, the only things I had available were what I could find online and through a few dense books. Now, people have the exact opposite problem: how do you break through the noise and find what's actually valuable to learn? This site is here to help you figure that out."
Bento is a perfect example of effective content curation as it does not simply collect and list all of the resources available to learn each language but it only suggests the very best ones, organizing them in easy, medium and hard and providing also "best of" / direct solutions that save readers lots of valuable time. Free to use. Useful, simple and immediate to use. Well organized. 9/10 Bento: http://www.bentobox.io/ More info: http://www.bentobox.io/about Submit new links here: https://github.com/JonHMChan/bento/

This has great resources and has different multi-media links that are great for crap-detecting. |
A good example of content curation at work is the Vox feature collection entitled "40 maps that explain the internet", which showcases in a highly digestible and visual format where the Internet came from, how it works, and how it's used by people around the world.
Although at first glance this may look just as a list of maps with descriptions, there's a lot of curation work that can be appreciated by looking just a bit beyond the surface.
a) Titles and descriptions are well crafted, short, focused, but consistently clear and to the point.
b) The 40 maps are intelligently organized into six different groups:
c) Images of maps sourced from elsewhere are properly credited and linked.
To the ignorant eye, this will look like "oh, just another collection of maps", but to the avid reader, scholar and to the curious enough to look beyond appearances, the value of this editorial work is on how it perfectly hides the amount of complexity and research work it has required while organizing and presenting an extremely clear and comprehensive body of valuable information on the chosen topic.
Curated by Timothy B. Lee together with editor Eleanor Barkhorn,
designer Uy Tieu and developer Yuri Victor.
A good example of curation at work. 8/10
