Tutorials and Other Useful Programming Links

[Galen of Edgewood]

I don't know why I never suggested or did this before.... What I want here is a compilation of good programming tutorials and, in general, a reference section for any and/or all programming languages, centralized in a single thread. Sound good to y'all?

Book suggestions are suitable for this thread as well. Oh yeah, SPAM is bad, m'kay? This is not a free post thread, so don't treat it as such.

Database is now open for entries here.

For information on function pointers in C: function-pointer.org
A nice book on OCaml is free online: O'Reilly's Developing Applications with Objective Caml
A really weird introduction to Ruby is Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby
The first edition of Programming Ruby is available online as well.
A decent introduction to regular expressions is on regular-expressions.info.
For PHP, nothing's better than the manual.

If you want to learn about Scheme (or computer programming in general, really), the ever popular "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" from MIT is available online (http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html) and has accompanying video lectures!

Also of use to lots of other things is MIT's OpenCourseWare.

what operating system can i use to write and view the programs?

[Timman_24]

what operating system can i use to write and view the programs?

It all depends. Most programming is done through Windows, but all the main OS's can write programs. As long as it has a text editor. To compile, you need a compatible operating system. I would recommend Windows. You need to install the programming library for the language you want to use and then I would recommend getting a good programming environment such as Eclispe. These give you realtime code debugging and suggestions. Some even come with templates and tutorials.

If you are fresh, it will probably take a day or so just to set your computer up correctly to program.

I have never heard about BitDegree and just checked it. It looks promising.
