As a programmer I have compiled a list of favorite sites I visit first to answer my questions, or to remember stuff I’ve forgotten.

Whether it’s ASP, VBScript, JavaScript, .NET, XML, HTML, or whatever, here’s a short, but rich list that should help you find what you need, or point you in the right direction:

www.W3Schools.com
Bar none the overall best site for basic information on just about everything from HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, XML, .NET, PHP, you name it. The site is easy to explore and you can even take a quiz to see what you remember (or don’t).

MSDN.Microsoft.com
MSDN is great, but this is the one link there I use all the time for web programming. It's a fantastic HTML/DHTML reference. The easy-to-use interface helps you find answers and many helpful examples. This is also a good central starting point inside MSDN for finding other links to .NET, CSS and more.

www.SQLJunkies.com
As the name implies, this site is all about SQL Server. This is a great community of SQL gurus discussing current and beta SQL Server platforms. The free registration gives additional benefits like newsletters, discussion forums and special offers.

www.SlayerOffice.com
This is a JavaScript treasure trove. Just visit it once and you won’t be disappointed. The source code is freely available to implement on your sites.

www.CSSZenGarden.com
Learning by example is one of the best ways to go. If you need to know tricks about Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), this is the place. Find a design you like and download the CSS style definitions to see how it was done.
