Programming Tutorials Help

I used to program quite a bit of BASIC as a kid. While I was at uni I also learnt PASCAL and C/C++/VisualC++. For a while I didn't do any programming then I discovered the w3schools site and started learning some scripting languages.

I have done some JScript and VBscript tutorials and have started getting a taste for it. Problem I'm finding now is that I feel I need some more tuition, but all the tutorials I can find with Google/Alltheweb are either aimed at people with no programming experience or people with lots of experience in JScript/VBScript. Also I have quite a short attention span and find some of the tutorials a bit dry.

Anyone know of some Beginner/Intermediate level tutorials in this kind of thing, which, preferably are a bit fun. I'm prepared to buy a book if necessary, but would prefer not to.

Even better, if you know anywhere that gives you a 'now write a script that does blah' type thing to test yourself at the end of a tutorial, that would be perfect.

Cheers

I have always found O'Reilly books to be good.

Also, go on Amazon and browse through the programming books. Read the reviews--they will tell you what kind of book it is (beginner, intermediate, expert).

I made some newbie-friendly PHP lessons and posted them here. They should be on the second or third page. There is also a set of Perl lessons as well.

I was/am working on perl lessons, sorry finals and life got in the way. Arrays coming soon!(tm)

But the best place is google. Once you found a subject I second O'Reilly books.

Yeah, I sort of fell off the "regex and other advanced Perl" bandwagon.

A good site to get a heads up on Windows programming (beginner to intermediate); Code Project. Has fun articles on such things as MFC controls, C#, .NET, and many others.

And Code Guru is another good site, although I haven't visited that place in a while. It still might be worth checking out.

A note of caution, there is little, if any structure in these sites, so that means you can't just start from the beginning, and read to the end. You kind of have to look for what you want to read.

I am more of a deitel person when it comes to textbooks. Their how to program series will take you from zero skill to amateur (and I stress amateur because only genius's reach full potential without a college education) codemonkey. You'll be able to code any simple application that doesn't require any advanced knowledge of computer science. That includes QUITE a bit.

I'd suggest Dev Guru , but only as a reference, not a tutorial. They have almost anything I've needed for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I can't vouch for the rest of the information up there, but it's good stuff.
