General programming resources

Hey everybody!

We all know programming ain't exactly easy work and can be just downright confusing if you have no idea what you're looking for or where to even begin. I have been trying to pay my dues and familiarize myself with the basics as much as possible and become the best darned programmer I can possibly be. In my quest to do so, I have come across a few sites that helped me ALOT I think could be of great help to newer users, as well as a few notes about coding/ programming practices and decided to post them here in the forums so that we can all benefit from them! Enjoy

No prob! I am just glad to help contribute to the GE community really and also to start to give back a bit of the help I've been given by other members to others who need help getting started and whatnot.
