Pointers to valuable software development resources

As promised, here is a short list of valuable software development portals.

It is a good idea to start getting acquainting with them, and get into the habit of using them; perhaps not all of them, just those which you find the most helpful. Most come with newsletters, as well as public-domain source code and sample applications.

• developer.com (http://www.developer.com/)
  Cutting-edge developer resources and community
• "Codeguru" (http://www.codeguru.com/)
  Has several channels dedicated to Visual Basic (see menu in left hand side "CodeGuru Navigation" box)
• "The Code Project" (http://www.codeproject.com/)
  Focus is on VisualStudio and .NET, with a specific area on VB.NET accessible from the top menu bar
• "GotDotNet" gotdotnet.com (http://www.gotdotnet.com/)
  Also offers public domain source code and sample applications
• theserverside.com (http://www.theserverside.com/tss)
  Focus is on Java, J2EE and related open source projects
• builder.com.au (http://www.builderau.com.au/)
  Developer resources cutting across .NET, J2EE and more
