I think you should add a VR portion to this, it's an up and coming platform. As I've learnt today, I suggest including these links:

For Developing:

https://unity3d.com/get-unity

 

For Learning: 

https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/virtual-reality

 

I'd add more, but I'm don't know how to develop for VR, I just know that this is a good starting point.

Lots of content on Windows 10 UWP app development:

https://mva.microsoft.com/

This has more categories, like The Maker Show:

https://channel9.msdn.com/

 

For C#, There is a course on both of these. They are almost same, actually. Both from Microsoft.

Bob Tabor's C# Fundamentals course is awesome. Also there is UWP Development courses from Jerry Nixon and Andy Wigley. They are really good.

i like this guy`s videos on c++

https://www.youtube.com/user/makinggameswithben/videos

We've now got three different subjects going on, an Asian fox and motorbike fetish, two guys talking about Norway invasions and then some other people talking about body building... This thread is turning into a free for all fetish infested Norwegian circle jerk.

If you take anymore suggestions Freecodecamp its a great resource to learn full stack javascript development through building projects and also helping with non-profit org projects. The tutorials are fully interactive. 

 

  

main(){
  extrn a,b,c;
  putchar(a); putchar(b); putchar(c); putchar('!*n');
  }

a 'hell';
b 'o, w';
c 'orld';

Qt is a very good language for starters and professionels available for Windows, Linux and Mac. Its easy to get started and as you move forward you can create advanst stuff. For example we have done a Projekt where we sort images based on image recognition. 

Also some big Companys use Qt (Snnheiser, Panasonic, LG ...) 

You can get it for free if you develop under LGPL or GPL licences from https://www.qt.io/.

The YouTube chanel voidrealms ( https://www.youtube.com/user/VoidRealms ) does a great job of explaining.

Khan Academy's programming classes are a great resource. This is where I dove into SQL.

 

I think they also teach HTML & CSS, jQuery and JavaScript, maybe more. And CS and Computer Animation courses.

I'd like to submit a niche little JavaScript based Game Engine/IDE for those wishing to develop under Windows, and linux if you wish to run wine or compile it, I do not know if it's supported under Max OSX. The game engine is opensource as well.

 

http://www.spheredev.org/

 

Here's my overview of the game engine.

Spoiler

 

The engine is designed for developing RPG games, however it does allow the development of other types of games or even general applications under it. It uses JavaScript 1.5 under it's own API. Documentation of the API has both a quick and dirty version as well as an in depth documentation of the entire Engine. There is also included documentation regarding development under the engine as well as basic JavaScript tutorials for those new to JS.

 

It also features file IO, basic networking, keyboard and Mouse Input detection, and support for music is also included. 

Graphically the engine supports Direct X 8.0 but I'm sure it is possible to use a more modern driver DLL if you wish to take advantage of a more modern graphics API such as DX11, DX12, or Vulkan. I'll have to test this at home to confirm it.

 

Programming is quite straightforward under sphere and you can have the API cheat sheet open within the included editor for quick reference. Testing code is as simple as pressing CTRL+F5 or clicking the run button along the top of the window.

 

Surprisingly, the engine can take advantage of quad-core processors, with my system showing utilization of all four cores equally when I am running code under sphere. 

 

Sphere is also friendly with very old machines, and has extremely modest system requirements.

 - Pentium 200Mhz or better

 - 64 megabytes of RAM or more

 - An OpenGL accelerated video card with at least 2 megabytes of VRAM (Engine uses sphere_gl.dll)

 - A sound card (Or on-board audio)

 - Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, 7, 8 , 8.1, 10 (or Linux)

 - Direct X 8 if you wish to take advantage of Full-Screen video drivers

 

 

This is from the official Readme.txt included with Sphere:

Spoiler 

Sphere v1.4

Spherical (http://www.spheredev.org/)
2008.01.08


Sphere is a 2D RPG creation system designed to facilitate creation of games
in the style of Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star.

Read the index.txt files in each directory in docs/ for a description of the
files contained within them.


== Minimum system requirements ==

* Pentium 200 MHz
* 64 MB of RAM
* Video card with 2MB VRAM
* Sound card for audio
* Windows 95, 98, NT4, 2000, or later
  OR
  Linux
* DirectX 8 for fullscreen video drivers
* OpenGL-accelerated video card for hardware acceleration (sphere_gl)


== Features ==

* unlimited map layers
* parallax and automatic layer scrolling
* flexible video driver subsystem
* supports any screen resolution
* 32-bit color and 256 levels of translucency
* 8-directional movement
* animated and reflective tiles
* plays Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, MOD, S3M, XM, IT, and uncompressed WAV
* graphical editing environment
* keyboard, mouse, and joystick support
* portable, cross-platform game development


== Included video drivers ==

* standard32.dll     - 32-bit color (default)
* standard16.dll     - 16-bit color (faster on 16-bit desktops)
* standard8.dll      - 8-bit color (fast, but ugly)
* greyscale.dll      - 8-bit greyscale (as fast as standard8, but completely in
                       greyscale)
* interpolate32.dll  - same as standard32, but resolution is doubled for some
                       smoothing effects (2xSaI)
* interpolate16.dll  - same as standard16, but resolution is doubled for some
                       smoothing effects (including 2xSaI!  Check it out!)
* sphere_gl.dll      - hardware acceleration using OpenGL (can be VERY fast)
* sphere_dx8.dll     - experimental DirectX 8.0 graphics driver


== Known Issues ==

* sphere_dx8.dll has some major issues. Avoid using it if possible.
* sphere_gl.dll has some problems with drawing and capturing primitives. This
  can cause some graphical glitches. It performs very poorly when games create
  and use many surfaces.
* Visit the Spherical forums for bug reports and feature requests.
  http://www.spheredev.org/smforums/


== Executable listing for Windows ==

* engine.exe    - Sphere engine
* editor.exe    - Sphere editor (a.k.a. the IDE)
* config.exe    - Sphere configuration utility


== Binaries listing for Linux ==

* engine   - Sphere engine
* wxeditor - wxWidgets-based editor (poor quality)

You'll have to edit engine.ini manually under Linux to change settings.
Use your favourite text editor.


== Credits ==

=== Code ===

* Chad Austin (AegisKnight)
* Theo Reed (rizen)
* Brandon Mechtley (malis)
* Jacky Chong (Darklich)
* Brian Robb (Flik)
* rjt
* aaulia/L_O_J
* Tung Nguyen (tunginobi)

=== Startup Game ===

Please send all suggestions and bug reports to:
http://www.spheredev.org/smforums/
OR
the Sourceforge bug reports page.

 

My procrastination is the bane of my existence.

I make games and stuff in my spare time.

PhpStorm and PyCharm are the best programs for PHP dev and Python dev respectively. Totally recommend

Pycharm is free for personal use, and also offer a learning edition found here: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm-edu/ Which has a Python tutorial in it.  PHPStorm on the other hand costs quite a large amount of money.  

 

It is for this reason that while I agree with you, for anyone looking for a fantastic alternative to both of these, I find that Komodo Edit is a free and fantastic IDE for web development and any sort of development alike, if you have money PHPTools for VisualStudio is good, or you can use Python tools for Visual Studio for free, which Microsoft has included tutorials for, and packages for by default in Visual Studio 2017RC Community, Professional and Enterprise.

For WPF C# (or VB) you can add this tutorial: http://www.wpf-tutorial.com/

 

It's an absolutely great tutorial and I don't know what I would do without it!

 

It mainly focuses on the C# side, but since C# and VB both share the XAML language for UI and similar structure, the tutorial should also be at least partially helpful to VB coders.

Very helpful Web-Dev source (SQL as well)

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/

 

For German speaking Members Rheinwerk-Verlag is a good source for free online readable books with different topics

https://www.rheinwerk-verlag.de/openbook/

 

How about another category for "usefull/necessary stuff for development"?

 

Free Icons Pack for development with Visual Studio Product family: Visual Studio Image Library

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35825

 

As mentioned in the EULA

Quote

a.    Right to Use and Distribute.

Images. 

You may copy, distribute, and deploy the images in the Image Library in applications that you develop with the Visual Studio Family of products.

Third Party Distribution.

You may permit distributors of your applications to copy and distribute the Distributable Code as part of those applications.

Anyone mentioned https://www.w3schools.com/default.asp, good site for getting the basics, I use it for my HTML / CSS stuff (its also got a color picker...!).

 

This site goes into HTML / CSS / JAVA / PHP - SQL - ASP and XML very good an user friendly.
