Hi,
I'm curious what programing forums/web pages do you use, or at least consider worth of using?
I grew totally blased of ittoolbox. Its a programing forum for people on dead-lines who should never have given access to a compiler. (It is plagued with "Urgent: Need to build a x, where x is often a mass-emailer or mass-sms sender", or with people that havent figured that google has a search capacity.). You will excuse me if I do not offer a link, as I'm tryint to save you from the horrors.
On site that I like, but that is hard-core C++ is GotW. It is a list of mini-quiz, with answers, about different features of C++, and really digs around all the small differences when on a topic. Not a casual reading! http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/index.htm
But beside this, nothing to challenge my neurons.
O yeah, I think I found one of those "algorithm coding" page, but its not really my thing. Not that I wont ever change!

Gotw is interesting, I wgetted it and read it while I was on vacation (I also have the exceptional c++ book). It's certainly interesting (I loved the chess “puzzle”!).
There's some points I don't agree with, especially the one about std::string. It's totally against ease of use if you have to write lenth(some_string), but some_string.size(). Why not some_string.length() and size(some_string)? I wouldn't know how to remember that. Interesting read, anyways.
And no, I don't use any forums or somesuch about programming.

Quite depends on what I'm up to. Using python, http://docs.python.org/ is a brilliant resource. For web development, books (most valuable here is probably the javascript rhino book), w3schools.com, random googling and w3.org specs. In C: K&R and manual pages. If I'm completely stumped, I might resort to asking at http://programmingforums.org/
