Best Reference Site For Each Programming Language?

Posted by samzenpus on from the spread-the-word dept.

Howling writes "I've been a PHP programmer for a few years and after taking a trip through many sites Ive learned that www.php.net is probably the most complete source when looking for information/documentation. I have been trying to find similar sites for every other language (Java, perl or ASP, for instance) without equal success, though. I ask: what is the best documentation/reference site for your preferred programming language?"

    Hi there all you programming langauges. I've called you all here because we need to talk. There's some things I need to get off my chest.

    SNOBOL

    If the world revolved around writing backgammon games, baby, you'd be the end all be all. But you're bloody useless at anything else. You're pretty but uselss.

    Logo

    You wear me out. I have to tell you to do everything.

    FORTH

    DARLING I MISS YOU. Where are you?

    Prolog

    You look good on paper, but you scare me. Remember that time in Beverly Hills? You have some very odd friends. And what's with the pink ties?

    Algol

    Oh algol. We had some great times together. But there is life after college, really.

    Lucid

    Lucid: you aren't. You should have been called "heroin".

    PL/I - http://www.users.bigpond.com/robin_v/resource.htm

    PL/I you are the perfect ex langauge. There's nothing to like about you and I don't miss you. Hell I don't even remember you that well any more. You're so damn difficult even your name cant be used in a URL because you screw that up. Put skip THIS, bitch.

    Forth come back! All is forgiven. Let's just you and me go someplace and dup dup dup. Or was that postscript. No no, she's just a friend.

    Aww dammit. Forth? Honey?

    ...undecidedly positive.

    I don't think this means what you think it means.
