This idea was started on the AudioGames.net forum in This topic. It is not an attempt to replace or supercede the Awesome lists.

Conventions

This list follows some very simple conventions:

  • Resources that have an International Standards Book Number (ISBN) (or a set of them in those rare instances) following their title in parentheses are guaranteed to be paid. For those rare instances where a book is not paid, I shall indicate such. The ISBN is a 10-, 13- or 16-digit number, i.e.: 9780262140874344. The ISBN can be used to locate the exact book, since titles can be ambiguous.
  • Resources that do not have an ISBN in parentheses are guaranteed to be free unless specified otherwise.

Getting started

If you need help acquiring a compiler or toolchain for a programming language, check out this page on RosettaCode, which lists various instructions for various languages. The task "assumes the language-newbie is a programmer in another language, the language-newbie is competent in installing software for the platform, and the language-newbie can use one simple text editor for the OS/platform (but that may not necessarily be a particular one if the installation needs a particular editor); refers to (and links to) already existing documentation as much as possible (but provides a summary on that page); demonstrates where to view the output; and, if particular IDE's or editors are required that are not standard, then points to/explains their installation."

For "Hello world!" type examples, see the following pages on that same wiki:

C, C++, and Assembly

Ada

Python

IDEs and Editors

Though these aren't books, here are some good IDEs and text editors for programming:

# Text Editors

  • Notepad 2 (and Notepad 3): my favorite editor on Windows. I use Notepad 2, not Notepad 3; they both appear to be identical in functionality (or maybe I'm missing something). Both are fully accessible.
  • Notepad++: a very good editor indeed for programmers. Fully accessible.

Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)

  • Visual Studio: by far the premeer IDE on windows. Accessible, though it can be very slow at times.
  • VS Code: Not really an IdE, though you can turn it into one. Accessible (depending on what you do and who you ask).
  • Eclipse: A very powerful and extensible IDE written in Java using the SWT widget toolkit. Fully accessible on Windows (though I believe its also accessible on Linux). Does not support Python out of the box. Note -- the installer is not accessible; use the downloadable zip files.
