As a new member I felt the intense need to contribute something.

The aim of this thread is to share good resources, tips and warnings about bad resources.

GOOD RESOURCES

The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) - SICP - SICP is a great introduction to computer science. It teaches good practice and problem solving techniques. It has many good examples and exercises all of which are in Scheme.
From NAND to Tertris - nand2tetris - Goes through the whole process of building a computer system, from hardware to software
Learn You a Haskell for Great Good - Learn You a Haskell - An introduction to Haskell and functional programming.
LibGen - LibGen - A motherload of technical manuals, textbooks and academic texts
Some books that I recommend:
- Hacking: the Art of Exploitation - Teaches everything from basic C to advanced exploitation techniques in a fast-paced but easy to read style that warrants a number of readings. Finally you can justify the Guy Fawkes mask in your closet.
- Introduction to Algorithms - This will teach you how to design and implement algorithms
- The C Programming Language - A complete start to finish guide for C
- The Unix Programming Environment- A comprehensive guide to the way UNIX (the OS that OSX, Linux and BSD are based off) works and how to fashion programs which utilise the environment efficiently.
- Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming - An introduction to AI programming and an very fast paced intro to Common Lisp

RESOURCES WHICH ARE FAKE, DUMB & GAY

Codecademy - These tutorials merely teach the syntax of a certain language and don't give any answers as to why and why not. The marking system is very pedantic and allows barely any room for experimentation.
Learn x in y (unit of time) - Really just designed for people with no patience at all. These are shit m8 let me tell you now.
x for Dummies - If you are a dummy you will never be a good programmer. That said you probably aren't a dummy, even if you think you are.
Learn x the Hard Way - "THE HARD WAY" is basically just the authors weird close minded view on what he is teaching. Basically all of the bad traits of x in y but with some cunt's (pardon) sour attitude included as a bonus.
