W3 Schools
The best reference for all things web.

A easy to learn and extremely powerful language great for all things web. But only one of many languages I use!
StackOverflow
Got a question, it’s probably already answered.
Tools
UltraEdit/UltraSuite
Worlds best script editor and development environment.
CorelDraw
Illustrator is no slouch, and a product I use often, but with the exception of print house work Corel Draw is far better. On the other hand Photopaint is no slouch and gets the job done handily, it is no Photoshop.
FileZilla
Great free FTP program.
GiMP
Handy, free and fairly powerful graphics program for those who cannot afford PhotoShop or Photopaint.
Audacity
Free audio editing tool will meet the needs of all but the most demanding.
