Programming
- Java APIs I have never been fond of the design of Sun's Java website, but there is no doubt that convenient access to the APIs is indispensable. This link is to a list of APIs, not to a specific API, so hopefully it will stay current as new versions are released.
- perldoc.perl.org Core documentation for Perl in HTML and PDF formats. A simple, but wonderfully useful site.
- PHP.net A useful resource for programming in PHP so long as you remember to check the 'Installing/Configuring' requirements for a function before using it in your code.
- Regular-Expressions.info Everyone who works with information should know the basics of regular expressions.
Diversions
- YouTubeVideo clips of obscure musicians, old tv shows, cute kittens, and everything else you can think of.
- Facebook Some people believe that Facebook is a tool for meeting new people and strengthening professional connections. I consider it an excellent place to play Lexulous and other word games.
