Programming Book/Resource List
I haven't been a member here for very long, but I see a lot of the same questions popping up here in the programming forum. Which are "What's the best book/place/tutorial to learn x/y/z programming language?" So I thought that maybe we could put together a list of resources that would help everybody and maybe one of the admins/mods could make it a sticky, something like they have over in the Copywriting Forum.
I'll get things started with a list of resources that I know about, however in my list I will stick with the popular CMSs, the usual web programming languages and some of the other languages that get asked about often here. Also, I'm sure that there are some other good one's that I have missed so please add them by replying to the thread or pm me and I'll add them to the list.
C/C++
Drupal
Java
MySQL
Perl
PostgreSQL
Python
SQL
WordPress
