C++ Reference

Java2s – Simply amazing site! And it’s not just for Java. In fact, I’ve never went there for Java.

C++ FAQ Lite by Marshall Cline of Parashift.com. (Highlighted: Should I learn C before I learn OO/C++?)

C# Online.NET – Although missing several sections it is beyond useful.

I wasn’t aware of this one until I visited Jon Skeet’s site again.  Very readable assuming you have a bit of knowledge of “language speak.”

Speak of Jon, here’s his FAQ from the mplc (microsoft.public.languages.csharp) newsgroup.

Also, C# Programming Guide.

I found it kind of odd to find standards documentation — that were not proprietary that is — at Microsoft so, here’s the link.

Not that either would remember of course, I’m just saying…

Before my mental breakdown they helped tremendously on a few projects by helping me wrap my feeble mind around a few ideas in the C# Usetnet groups.

Anyway…
