Programming
I've recently been reading a bunch of software engineering books in an attempt to improve my skills. This is no mean feat, as I'm already the best programmer in my company. Code Complete is absolutely the best book I've ever seen on the subject. It is a must read for everyone who wants to program. I would make it required reading for all students and computer professionals. It's very readable, and if you follow it's advice it will change your life.

    The following is a list of sites on the net that cover game programming.  Some of the sites have game source code which is very usefull if you want to learn to program good games.  Although some of the code is quite antiquated it is still a good learning tool for everybody as each programmer has his or her own way of writing things.  You dont have to know much you just have to ask questions till there are no more questions.

If you know any good sites that I could add please email me at jcarbrey@netcom.ca.
