Why a programming Library Thread?
I originally wrote this thread based on that I could find huge amounts of web pages in a Google search, However the amount of Google hits was huge and going through these links I found what was a lot of Junk pages, based on a programming newbie would totally confused and things where explained in a manner that you needed a computer degree to understand them. Based on this I decided to make a library in the programming forum section resulting in links that are understandable by novice users.
Here is a start

Edit: New How to programming Videos:Code:Notes: There are loads of begginer and newbie programming books and the more we can list the better on the basis of there is a book for everyone. Currently I would also like to get links on books based things like objects, basic algorythms etc. And enything that has good syntax to learn,
I found a series of online video tutorials for Python and other programming languages. I feel they are very powerfull in that a lot of things are explained that are over looked in books and makes a lot of sense of stuff that is often overlooked.
