Thread: The Coder's Ultimate Guide

What is the purpose of this thread? Easy, create a massive index of every tutorial, reference, and tips/tricks for every coding language out there. This way we don’t get multiple threads with scattered resources. I’m not a master at all coding languages, so you guys are going to have to help out by posting links to resources. Please specify if it is a tutorial or some kind of material when you want me to add something. Try to follow the outline I have done below for Java.


Java is by far one of my favorite languages; it’s not biased against any operating system, secure, and provides a multitude of resources for an applet or application based project.
What you need:
-JDK (Java development kit) Java SE Downloads - Sun Developer Network (SDN)


IDEs:
NetBeans Welcome to NetBeans
BlueJ BlueJ - Teaching Java - Learning Java
Eclipse Downloads
For Ubuntu: Geany : Releases - Courtesy of Osource

Where to start:
The Java™ Tutorials

Cool tricks and tutorials:
Basic:
Catching all Errors and Exceptions

Comparing Dates

Searching a String for a Character or a Substring

Moderate:

Implementing an Unbounded Work Queue



Advanced:

Intercepting All Accesses to External Entities During XML SAX Parsing

Getting the Attributes of an Element During XML SAX Parsing

Source: Exampledepot.com - Awesome place for just about any java tutorial.

Thanks alot, might use this later this year to finally get started on Java!

Here is a good code reference site I used to use a lot when I was learning ActionScript 2 and HTML. But there are plenty of other languages on there to. Bear in mind that it's a reference, NOT a tutorial site.

I think that Eclipse is one the best IDE's out there (I'm probably biased b/c it's my first IDE, haha)

Anyway, its open source, and can run on Windows, Macs, and Linux

download link:
Eclipse Downloads

For ubuntu, I'd recommend geany
Geany : Releases

or, you could install by using terminal

>sudo apt-get install geany

Ya i remember using eclipse now, that was the other one I was thinking of! Thanks! And added.

I wanted to stop in here and say Very Nice! I wish this thread Great Success!

Here's a couple of very good C++ Tutorial sites for those wanting to learn the language. It starts with the basics, it then progresses through Classes and Templates up to introduction of libraries.

cplusplus.com - The C++ Resources Network

is there like a c++ coders guide ?

Check the tutorial websites posted above. They have concise definitions and superb explanations of the language in a way one could easily understand.
