Lots of students ask me : Which are the best websites for learning to program. Obviously the answer depends on what programming language you are thinking of studying. I usually recommend that one learn c# when starting out. I recommend this simply because of the simplicity of the language and its popularity. C# is a very powerful language and introduces the newbie programming to a very exciting world of possibilities. The two web sites I recommend are www.codeproject.com and www.softwareapprentice.com as they both have great articles and source code for that a learner programmer will find very useful and easy to understand. Coding best practices are something you need to work on from the get go.
