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.

    I'm tired of learning web design tips and tricks. I can hand code standards compliant page, but the job will always go to a shaved monkey that uses Dreamweaver of FrontPage... I remain poor. I had to scrounge change from around my apartment to by a 59 cent "HoneyBun", and I had to wade through a sea of panhandlers and drunken college kids to buy it. What does my savy coding get me in this situation? NOT A FUCKING THING!!! Drop the web design and get a job in a kitchen, at least you will be fed. I can hear it now: "Geez, calm down d00d" or "You are off-topic, don't waste our time" or "If you so bad off how can you afford to access the Internet with a computer" Well guess what you fucking egghead elitists, I've had enough. Stuff your white tower up your ass and realise the next person you see might be me, and I'm hungry, broke, and rabidly antisocial.

    Hardly. What they teach is bugwards-compatible crap.

    "What is the correct HTML for adding a background color?"
    Answers offered: various permutations on "body" and "color" and "background".
    Real Answer: There isn't any. Colors are handled via CSS.

    If we do not change our direction we are likely to end up where we are headed.
