What are the good resources for Newspeak programming language?
You probably know this place, but if not, make sure to follow Gilad Bracha's blog, http://gbracha.blogspot.com/
I'd suggest to read this, even if you're not interested in Newspeak. This guy rocks.
You can start with Newspeak 101 and ask questions in the Help forum There are some nice examples here (I suggest you start with the Twitter Client at the bottom).

I am initial stage of my XSLT but I couldn't find any information at google regarding XSLT. I just go through W3schools which looks like not up-to the mark with the concepts, guys suggest me some more websites or if you have any documents please share with me your suggestions are very important
Thanks
Personally, when I'm learning a new language, I don't think there's anything to beat a good book. It's not so much because the printed medium is better than online; it's because a good book will be the product of a lot more thought and effort than anything I've ever found online. It takes 6 months to produce a good book, while a lot of tutorial web sites seem to have been cobbled together in a weekend with very little thought.
Most of the books on XSLT are now a little dated, but the concepts are still valid. It's hard to produce a recommendation without knowing, for example, how much experience you have with other languages, but Jeni Tennison (Beginning XSLT 2.0, APress) is very good at explaining the concepts in a well-thought-out order.
My own book is a very comprehensive reference (XSLT 2.0 / XPath 2.0 Programmers Reference, Wiley, 4th ed.), but probably not the best first introduction unless you're the kind of person who really wants to explore every nook and cranny of the language in detail.
Hello i hope these could help you,

Good luck :)
In theory, it seems like a great solution for avoiding bugs, but why in practice we hear so little about it?
Why can't we see more support for it on Java or .net for example?
i have been searching around for this answer too. But it seems like its not popular among the programming world. Therefore theres not much people discussing about it.
I tried using it, however i find it a hassel to really think what contracts i should write while i am programming. However its good for debugging.
have you tried? whats your comments on it?
I'm looking for coding exercises that have solutions. I've checked out topcoder and codekata but neither seem to have user posted solutions (maybe I just can't find them?).
Basically I can (try) to figure out how I would solve a problem but what I want is to learn and expand my knowledge by see how other (better) coders would solve the same thing.
ProjectEuler has some good fairly good problems that lend themselves easily to a coded solution. There is no site supported help system, but simple google searches with the number of the problem you are working on normally has good results.
Once you solve the problem, you then have access to the site solution and a forum posting that shows other users' solutions so you can learn from them, (If you solve it first).
In TopCoder you can find the solutions in Competitions > Algorithms > Statistics > Match Archive, there you select a match and statistics will be displayed. After that by clicking "[*]" at the left side of the handle name, you will be lead to the solutions submitted by that coder.
My memory is not the best, so I like to keep a blog using WordPress which I keep track of all the programming and IT related things I learn. This way, when I need it again I can just search and go back and look at it.
Using WordPress has been good, but its editing really sucks and I would like something with more of a plain text system.
I know many other people do this. If you do, can you recommend the system you use? Here's mine so far http://knife-bst.com/tech/
As you can see with git commands -- it becomes a big -. So WordPress really is not working too well.
Why not use a wiki? It will take care of maintaining all of its own history, and editing is not that difficult.
This is just the kind of thing Evernote is for.
I recommend google docs and spreadsheets. It's excellent for this sort of thing!

Where should I point someone to learn the basics of HTML/CSS? I personally got my start from HTMLGoodies way back in the day, but while I thank Ken Burns for getting me going, I'm loathed to send someone out to that site nowadays as I think it's dated.
Obviously there are many sites out there that cumulatively contain all the information needed, but where to send someone new who you don't want to scare off?
edit:
I honestly thought I'd been missing something by not having used w3schools.com, but I see that within three pages of the tutorial (both html and xhtml) they use <b></b>. Damned shame they're not encouraging semantics.
Anyone know something that gets people off on the right foot?
I can't believe how many people are answering with w3schools. I couldn't recommend enough that people never EVER mention this place again. It is a terrible resource.
A few good places:
Addition for HTML5: http://diveintohtml5.ep.io/
http://alistapart.com
http://www.quirksmode.org/
http://www.thinkvitamin.com/
Not complete, but alistapart.com is required reading for any web developer we hire.
Also, never underestimate the power of reading the source on well-written websites.
I can't believe that people here are recommending W3Schools. That's the last place I would recommend anyone to go.
The one place I would recommend the user heading to is SitePoint. A lot of the articles there are aimed at advanced users, although the sheer quality of the forum and the beginner articles are too good to pass. I would also agree with Mike's recommendations as places to send a complete novice.
As far as getting the practical skill, the one thing I would recommend is opening up a text editor or a good IDE in text-editor mode and just writing a website to see what happens. Head to the Open Source Web Design page and see how others have created basic layouts, then apply that skill to your own.
HtmlDog has a good set of guides for beginners, intermediate and advanced users. It also has useful references for all things HTML & CSS.
I really like yourHTMLsource. Quirksmode and AlistApart are great. And Ajaxian is more advanced and wide resource of things.
I began on w3schools, however soon this site became the one I avoid the most.
Read this book (Designing with Web Standards by Zeldman)
To keep this answers to this question up-to-date, the Opera Web Curriculum is, as of 2011, the best way to learn front-end web development. It is comprehensive, encourages best practice, and is generally a superior resource for those completely new to the field.
I think you should check www.tutorialrepublic.com. This site has great tutorials on HTML/CSS. I learned HTML/CSS from this site and I really like this, they explains the topic very clearly.
Exactly, I personally started off on HTMLGoodies, also. I think tizag.com is more updated.

For me its a great...
Maybe isn't "the" reference website, but is a very good and practical cheatsheat about html and stuff...
The htmldom section is one of the best for me...
If you speak German, the best Site for learning HTML is:
