Prolog / Constraint Logic Programming (CLP)

• What Is Constraint (Logic) Programming?. A very good introduction.
• Building Expert Systems in Prolog. A good book, now available online.
• Constraint Logic Programming: A child of Prolog finds new life solving programming's nastier problems. An interesting article that appeared in Byte magazine in February, 1995, by Dick Pountain.
• Transient Analysis of Linear Circuits using Constraint Logic Programming. An article by Shankar, Gilbert and Jampel (December 1995). This report describes the design of a transient analysis program for linear circuits and its implementation in a Constraint Logic Programming language. Authors chose CLP because it is designed to be efficient in handling real numbers.
• Hana Rudova's project on CLP . Interesting links can be found there.
• ECLiPSe Web Site . An implementation of a CLP system can be found there.
• Constraints Archive. Maintained by the University of New Hampshire. A big compilation with an interesting FAQ.
• Constraint Logic Programming Research at Institut für Computersprachen. Several projects and links.
• Prolog & VLSI. Bibliography on applying Prolog to VLSI design.
• Prolog Learning Resources. Interesting link list, although many of them are commercial sites.
• On-Line Guide to Prolog Programming. By Roman Barták.
• The Mercury Project. It intends to create a programming language with all necessary features to be used in large-scale development (especially efficiency).

Web development

• SiteExperts. Lots of web development resources.

HTML

• Index Dot HTML. THE Advanced HTML Reference.
• CSS Zen Garden. Lots of CSS examples for copying designs.

XML

• XML tutorial The XML Revolution. This 130+ page slide collection provides an introduction and overview of XML, namespaces, XLink, XPointer, XPath, DSD, XSLT... including links.
• XML.ORG. The XML Industry Portal.
• DTD School. A good DTD tutorial.

XSL/XSLT

• ZVON XSL Tutorial. An XSL tutorial. This may help.
• ZVON XSL Reference. Also very useful, but praying will be necessary anyway.
• XSLT Reference. Microsoft online reference on XSLT.
• VBXML: Introduction to XSLT. Explains the place of XSLT in the XML family.
• XSLT.COM. Resource site for tools , events , books , tutorials and other resources related to xslt , xsl , xml

VML

• Rodney's VML-IE 5 tips and tricks. Some useful info about VML (not very deep)
• Web Workshop - Specs & Standards -- VML Overview. Microsoft VML reference docs.
• http://www.ramon.org. A very interesting site with information about HTML, XML, VML... [Spanish only]

JavaScript

• Netscape JavaScript reference. JavaScript reference. A bit obsolete, but a good starting point (because it is simple) for doing basic things.
• The Tab Key. How to make the TAB key (CTRL+TAB, to be precise) work inside a multiline field.

History of Computing

• The Computer Museum History Center. Detailed events, and a timeline in a "per-year" basis. Very interesting and good pictures; however, if you don't know what year you are going to, things get a bit more complicated. It also has events classified by themes (software, companies...).
• A chronology of Computer History. A chronology whose events are very briefly described. Very detailed in the final part (recent events).

Graphs / Graph layout

• GFC. A graph layout library in Java. Not too bad.
• GraphViz. Several executables (open-source) developed by ATT. It generates PostScript and other formats. The best I've found so far.
• Diagram for the Visually Inclined. Generic info about diagramming, visual programming, etc.
• Graphlet. A toolkit for graph editors and graph algorithms. I haven't tested it.
• Graph Drawing Links and Literature. Excellent links about graph drawing and layout.
• Graph Drawing Tools and Related Work. Another good link list (bigger than the previous one).

Writing

• Never Say Allow To Again. Comments by Oscar Nierstrazs on "allow to" and other incorrect statements in English.

• How to's. In this "how to" list, you'll find more articles on how to write, how to make peer reviews, etc.
