We all use tools and access resources to keep us reacting quickly and professionally in this ever changing industry. On top of that, every day I get requests from people to test or review new resources, think up ideas to build internal tools and many more get developed that I may or may not even be aware of. So how is one to sort through everything out there, separate the good from the bad, the expensive from the inexpensive and figure out how to tell when the price difference is worth it?

As one who both loves testing new ways of looking at data and also being a business owner who enjoys finding the best possible ROI on hardware and software alike I thought I'd put together my 78 favorite resources based on what they yield and what they procude from a dollar-in-dollar-out perspective.
