Mar, might you be interested in adding Project Euler (http://www.projecteuler.com) to this somewhere? Not sure if it would be relevant but, I found it to be a great help with expanding my understanding of mathematics and it made me think a lot about some programming specific problems.

Well you coulda corrected him with the right one at least

This guy:

He has loads of great computer-related tutorials - including C++, Python and now Java. There's also some more technical ones like robotics and electronics which some people here might find interesting. 325 videos in total!

can you say youtube snipe?

Thank you sir

Well, first of all it's my first post so, hi everyone

Secondly, I'll just get to the point of this post.

I haven't been learning C++ for very long, and never really learned much beyond GCSE math, so when I decided to learn C++ with the intention of making little games I also thought it would be very useful to get up to speed with Trigonometry etc.

Although this is not a resource for programming itself but rather a math resource, I have found it unbelievably helpful so far.

And so, for people like me who didn't do well at math in school, and dropped out of/never went to college and just went into full time work this youtube page could prove to be very helpful.

Great topic, Mar!

Khanacademy is brilliant! Ive been watching his vids on math for some while now and he's brilliant. He has physics, economy, statistics, algebra, calculus, geometry and many other subjects as well, and he's a great teacher - good examples and easy to understand. He also kinda "off-topicly" mentions some times in his maths vids that he'll (maybe) teach some computer programing later. His videos on physics helped me get a really good grade on a presentation on Newton's third law of motion.

As programming and understanding of maths/physics/geometry is closely related I'd say it should be included in the original post. Oh, and he also made a nice web app with excersises and video links where you can start off at 1-digit addition and end up at derivatives or linear algebra.

I don't know if has been posted or not but I found a site that covers the separating axis theorem a little bit (the same formula that Kendall uses in the ES engine).

http://www.metanetsoftware.com/technique/tutorialA.html

It doesn't completely cover every aspect but it gives an overview plus multiple interactive simulations of how it works.

Here's a good site:
http://www.gamedev.net/ Has tutorials, product reviews, Job listings, Book reviews, chat rooms and more!

I find Geometric Tools very handy for providing many algorithms in source code to perform various types of functions, such as physics, linear math and rendering systems. It's actually a code repository for a 3D graphics engine made for instructional purposes, but the code in each of its components can be applied on a more general basis for your work. I mostly use it for 3D math.

Nice tool I found people on Reddit using to share code http://codepad.org/

[BlitzCoder]

A bunch of great beginner exercises

http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/12974/

My friend emailed me those a long time ago, and I posted them on the cpp forums (re-posted by Bazzy in that post for formatting)

Don't know what they would be filed under though.

Also I suggest http://collabedit.com/

"Collabedit provides a productive way to take collaborative notes, observe coding sessions, get help drafting emails and more.

Features include:

* changes appear in real-time
* document history
* chat
* syntax highlighting for programming languages
"

Basically, it's like Google docs, only faster and with syntax highlighting for a variety of languages, and with no sign up needed/
