Guides

Computer Languages

JAVA: see main Java site, the SUN tutorial, Java Tutorials, New to Java
C#, or Microsoft's answer to Java, can be learned at Joe Mayo's # Tutorial
C++ is probably sill the most powerful language in widespread use, learn it at this tutorial
Algorithmic implementations can be found at Numerical Recipes
HTML/Web development: WebMonkey developers guide

Statistics and Mathematics

Statistics are very useful, so check out the NIST site for exploratory data analysis, the hyperstat site for introductory work, the companion to Reading Statistics, for more advanced help, York's Statistical Consulting Service or the Risk Glossary contingency analysis, and finally, stats text books from statsoft and David Garson.
Econometric primer at WVU and one on spatial techniques for location studies
Mathematics help with SOS math and the Encyclopedia of Mathematics, and Math Archives
Statistic text in PDF format from GraphPad
Statistics Online Computational Resource (SOCR) is an excellent online resource
