Best Websites for Developers?

Posted by chrisd on from the when-curious-i-ask-slashdot dept.

Recently, I've been entertaining the idea of getting into a little Java programming for a side project I'm working on, and I realized that I really don't know where to start. This led to a larger question of what the best books and websites are for pepole new to a language. What about for the experts in a language? So this week, I was wondering what slashdotters thought are the best websites to go to for information on the major languages (like C, C++, PHP, Perl, etc) and the important topics in programming (x, gtk, win32, etc). I obviously have some opinions on some of the better places to visit, but I wanted to see what slashdotters thought. (hence the paucity of links in this story) Where do people find the authorities? My intention is to ask about web sites this weekend, and books next weekend.

    is this a cheap way of chrisd letting his friends rack up some "Informative" karma? :)

  2. Completely different? I think not by brunes69 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    The DOM between IE and Mozilla is almost exactly the same, the only major difference between them is the events model. Thankfully IE's event model can very easily be emulated in Mozilla, so this isn't even really an issue. Where did you get this idea that the DOMs are "completely different"? Assuming you have done any amount of work with them, I really fail to see how you could come up with this.
