This idea was started on the AudioGames.net forum in This topic. It is not an attempt to replace or supercede the Awesome lists.

This list follows some very simple conventions:

• Resources that have an International Standards Book Number (ISBN) (or a set of them in those rare instances) following their title in parentheses are guaranteed to be paid. For those rare instances where a book is not paid, I shall indicate such. The ISBN is a 10-, 13- or 16-digit number, i.e.: 9780262140874344. The ISBN can be used to locate the exact book, since titles can be ambiguous.
• Resources that do not have an ISBN in parentheses are guaranteed to be free unless specified otherwise.

If you need help acquiring a compiler or toolchain for a programming language, check out this page on RosettaCode, which lists various instructions for various languages. The task "assumes the language-newbie is a programmer in another language, the language-newbie is competent in installing software for the platform, and the language-newbie can use one simple text editor for the OS/platform (but that may not necessarily be a particular one if the installation needs a particular editor); refers to (and links to) already existing documentation as much as possible (but provides a summary on that page); demonstrates where to view the output; and, if particular IDE's or editors are required that are not standard, then points to/explains their installation."

For "Hello world!" type examples, see the following pages on that same wiki:

• Display the string Goodbye, World! on a GUI object (alert box, plain window, text area, etc.)
• Cause a line printer attached to the computer to print a line containing the message: Hello World!
• Display the string Goodbye, World! without a trailing newline
• Show how to print a message to standard error by printing Goodbye, World! on that stream
• Above task with esoteric languages
• Display the string Hello world! on a text console
• Serve our standard text Goodbye, World! to http://localhost:8080/ so that it can be viewed with a web browser

Though these aren't books, here are some good IDEs and text editors for programming:

• Notepad 2 (and Notepad 3): my favorite editor on Windows. I use Notepad 2, not Notepad 3; they both appear to be identical in functionality (or maybe I'm missing something). Both are fully accessible.
• Notepad++: a very good editor indeed for programmers. Fully accessible.

• Visual Studio: by far the premeer IDE on windows. Accessible, though it can be very slow at times.
• VS Code: Not really an IdE, though you can turn it into one. Accessible (depending on what you do and who you ask).
• Eclipse: A very powerful and extensible IDE written in Java using the SWT widget toolkit. Fully accessible on Windows (though I believe its also accessible on Linux). Does not support Python out of the box. Note -- the installer is not accessible; use the downloadable zip files.
