On “Ask Slashdot” the readers recently got to answer which their favourite programming reference sites where for different languages. While most of the gems that where posted are quite well known I thought I’d make a quick summery of all the valuable links posted there.

Most languages have recieved at least one link but it’s interesting to see some obscure languages in there while others are not even listed (Visual Basic? educational languages like SmallTalk? and at the time of this writing no reference to either MSDN or Google Code). It’s a good group of links though, many informative pages here for anyone who uses these languages.

These are all the sites that programmers recommended (who else visits slashdot?) in alphabetical order.
