Edit: As I am currently working with C# at my job; I have had to learn it. I have found the latest addition to the C# learning materials very good.

EDIT 14/07/2013

 

I have completely reformatted the thread, as well as making it slightly neater and more readable. I have also added much more resources and an iOS development category.

 

Future plans:

Links for all of the books

Better categorization

More resources

I think you should remove W3 Schools from the list and just add helpful links.

 

Anyway a good IDE for HTML/CSS/Ruby/PHP whatever Open Source and available for Windows, Linux, Mac:

http://www.aptana.com/

 

Something wrong with your HTML/CSS? Check for errors first:

http://validator.w3.org/

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

 

A useful tool for validating JSON:

http://pro.jsonlint.com/

 

A good IDE and library for C++, Qt:

http://qt-project.org/

Awesome, I will add those in a minute.

 

On the topic of W3Schhols however, unless there is a demand for me to remove it, I would like to keep it on. Although there is controversy surrounding it - I feel now it has very much improved and at the very least provides a good reference to use when developing websites.

When I start learning HTML in codeacadamy.com, I found the editor they provide in the website put the end tag itself. For ex. If we put <html>, it will automatically add </html>. Is there any editor does the same job, when we type the tag it will put end tag itself.

I am not addicted to drugs But to GADGETS.

Dreamweaver does that. There may be plugins available for Notepad ++ also.

You can add a couple of C++ video lectures by Stephan T. Lavavej on the list. They are really the best I've seen so far for an advanced C++ programmer.
Core C++

STL

Advanced STL

 

If you wish you can add a 3D programming section:

Modern OpenGL Tutorials

OpenGL Tutorials

Learning Modern 3D Graphics Programming

 

To the books you can add:

The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference (2nd edition) - Nicolai M. Josuttis

Programming, Principles and Practice Using C++ - Bjarne Stroustrup

Game Engine Architecture - Jason Gregory

Core Java Volume I--Fundamentals - Cay S. Horstmann, Gary Cornell

Core Java, Volume II--Advanced Features - Cay S. Horstmann, Gary Cornell

CLR via C# - Jeffrey Richter

 

Other resources:

http://www.gamedev.net/  - A forum full of professional developers. You can ask any questions related to game programming and programming in general. Also there are a lot of helpful articles.

gedit is a text editor for GNU/Linux that highlights syntax in many programming languages. It is usually included in most GNU/Linux operating systems, but if it is not you can find it at their website.

Although I agree Sublime Text 2 is pretty neat, don't you think Vim and Emacs deserve some credit here? I know they are not really beginner friendly, even far from it, but mastery of one of the two is a very powerful tool. The rest of the list seems pretty nice, thanks.

Very true. I used Vim for a web dev project last winter and made a conscious effort

to improve my Vim skills. Once I had gotten over the initial hurdles my productivity

increased dramatically. And I'm not even close to fully exploiting its possibilities,

there is still much more to do.

On that subject I can highly recommend vimcasts. Brilliant tutorials.

Fuzicast also has a few hours' worth of Vim vids in his channel which I have found

useful.

The best TSQL resource is the Books Online that comes with MSSQL and there are some great forums to ask questions. I learned just about all I know from SQLTeam.com. There was a core group there that were amazing. I don't know which one is the best now (probably http://www.dbforums.com/); but turning on the relation part of the brain is much easier when you can fight through it in a forum.

Last two years my best resource has been the not free Pluralsight. I was disappointed in other paid services until I had to use New 2013 tech and they were the only resource out there. Very committed to providing learning for "the flavor of the month". You can establish a email dialog with most of the authors.

Just a heads up, but Sublime Text 2 (or 3, since that is out now) is available on OSX as well
