This is a short list to posts in each catagory. Each section has a different post and is edited seperately with the appropriate titles. This thread may have very long posts as a result, so there will be Links to each section from the short list above. The short list above will/may/can change as well. Please do not back link to this thread from other boards/forums besides emulatalk.net, that would be greatly appreciated.

This thread is LOCKED, the reason is simple, if you have something you think should be added PM a moderator in this forum. This type of thread must be well organized and have as little unassociated noise as possible. The thread is for information, not conversation. Hence it is to be locked. Adding too it will be done by those people who can add to this thread (in other words moderators or administrators).

I hope people will find the information contained useful to whatever purposes (as long as they aren't illegal ), they have.

These are links to sites regarding Compilor/IDE tools for a specific platform/OS

Platform - A frame of reference or system with a specific API IE, Playstation or Win-32 OS.
Windows:
Dev C++
Turbo C++ Explorer
Code::Blocks

Linux
MinGW Developer Studio (C++)
Eclipse
Code::Blocks

Consoles
PS Developer Wiki
PS1 Development
PS2 Development
PS3 Development

GameBoy Advance
GBA Dev Org
ham <development library for GBA>

PlayStation Portable (PSP)
devkitPSP

Xbox (related)

Palm OS <OLD>
Access Developer Requires registration to get the various palm dev kits.

Various Embedded Processor Compilers
SDCC - Small Device C Compiler for every TINY processor this compiler delivers for c51 PIC Z80, wiki (think C compiler for Game Boy)
GCC for 68hc11-12 weird but this is used a lot in things you would never notice like car stereo's refrigerators carbonated beverage machines you name it. (Google Groups)
YAGARTO Yet Another Gnu ARm TOol Chain (or something like that)
OpenSTM32 (requires registration)
CCS (TI modified Eclipse for there processors this is now open)

Note Code Blocks Supports several development tool chains under Linux and windows. However it would require you to rebuild Code Blocks to the more recent development release to use them under Linux (windows supports already a few).

Processor specific Compilor links

These are tools designed specifically for an instruction SET IE IAX86 IA64.. HSC12 ARM thumb etc.

Language specific Links

For specific programing languages IE PERL C++ C etc.

C++ Reference
Python

Web Specific Links

For Web Specific programing resources. IE PHP PERL Java Javascript

Database Links

pycrc A Python CRC generator for C or other languages. (also performs checks)

Algorithm sources go here
CRC
pycrc - great utility with good links
wikipedia - quite good more importantly it has standard CRC polynomials which are VERY difficult to select.

Reverse CRC calculation
Reverse-Engineering a CRC Algorithm

Pythonic Links

Pythonic Graphics (note this is in difficult level fore warned is fore armed)
wxPython (a python wrapper for wxwidgets ) Documentation API, wiki, and borks (books really).
PyGObject (Python package which provides bindings for GObject based libraries such as GTK, GStreamer, WebKitGTK, GLib, GIO and many more.)
Note you will want to be familiar with Glade also.
