I composed these links for someone(outside the community), when he asked me where I had acquired some of my programming knowledge.  I edited the list to make to include only the links that relate to knowledge i've used in unRAID, but felt that others might like to look over a few of these... here we go:

 

LANGUAGES

 

html

Other utilities to search in google are :

cp, mv, rm, ls, find...

 

you can search google by typing in man followed by the utility name as the search term.  For instance searching man cp should result in the manual pages for cp as the first link in google.

I will update this original post to keep a comprehensive list if others want to add to the thread by posting.  If there is enough interest, I will move it to the wiki as well.

Please do, this is extremely helpful.

 

I've added the UnRAID Topical Index, Linux reference section, more as a placeholder for these links, and I'm not sure this is the best place.  I copied it essentially intact, except for minor edits.  It does not do justice to your collection, so I do recommend a Wiki page for them, when you have time.  I don't know where the best place for them is, or where the page should be linked, but that will work itself out.

 

I can't help wanting to see your fuller listing of links too, if that is possible and acceptable.  Perhaps a link or attachment (zipped or not)?

I will... but I should clear things up... the list, in its present form, is split across a few files on two or three computers.  if I can find the earliest parts, it dates back to about '94-'95. It is not organized, just a list of links in the order i found them... no headings, no explainations.... just links, some of which may not even work anymore.  I'm in the process of organizing/updating this list to actually make it usuable for someone else.  The reason I was able to get the ones I posted together so quickly is that they are the newest additions to the list(minus html which i included because it is only really one source not counting wikipedia) and therefore at the very bottom of the list and I elected to start there.

 

I will be happy to include it when it is finished, but I expect it to take at least a week or so before it is done... It will likely include a whole bunch of languages/software packages that nobody on here uses or would even care about... for example, off the top of my head.. matlab, maple, BASIC, cnc, some robot controls programming, autocad, autodesk inventor and the FEA (finite element analysis) links, there will likely be more, i'll have to wait to see which treasures I get to re-discover.
