Developer Resources, Post yours ! (PRE-FAQ Thread)

[frodobaggins]

Ok this thread is supposed to be where developers can post links and or
examples of things that might be usefull to developers programming in the
in car or related environments.

Things I am talking about are:
Tutorials
Custom Controls
Good Books
Home-Grown Examples
Tricks of the Trade
Things to interface
Etc...

All programming languages, as well as all environments (ie Operating Systems)
are welcome.

No link is too basic or too complex, a link to msdn is even helpful.

I'm going to dig up a few links in a minute to start, or if anyone gets here
before I post mine, go right ahead and post yours !

This is NOT a discussion thread.

Books

Microsoft's VB.net step by step (comes with the E-book version)
(im learning on the .net system becuase it was offered by my intro C++ class)
Book is thorough, and was writting for non programmers. You arent expeted to know much, Book seems ideal to familiarize yourself with VB.

As for good books, The Visual Blue Print books are great, I have PHP & MYSQL, & XML you can't go wrong with these as they tell you how to do stuff and don't teach you the logic that every other book tries to teach but you already know. I believe they have one for .net asp C# and a whole bunch of others look on amazon I brought mine used for about $10 a piece and the shipping was about the same. Check them out.
