I found TheNewBoston while I was taking some programming classes in college. They aren't all done by the same guy, but most are done by a guy named Bucky(the site owner/ founder). Really smart guy. It's worth a look, and it's my go to site if I ever want to learn a programming language or anything

for C you could put "the C programming language, 2nd edition."
its has great practice problems which are informative, challenging, and cumulative, yet they aren't excessively long problems. also the explanations are very clear and concise. its probably the best textbook/reference book i've ever seen, save for some math ones.

also wikibooks.com has many great tutorials on c/c++, java, python, c#, and unix
it also has stuff on opengl
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/C%2B%2B_Programming
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Python
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/C_sharp
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unix
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenGL_Programming

the best part is wikibooks is totally free, however because it is a wiki, it is subject to potential misinformation and some parts are incomplete. also there aren't many practice problems to help people put what they learned to use so

here is a good c++ reference/tutorial website also

I've completed the Python one and done part of the Java one.
Expect this to be fully compiled within this week. smile.gif

I'm a huge fan of Prata's C++ Primer Plus. There's a 6th edition, but I'm not familiar with that one. I learned far more from this book than from two semesters of college-level C++ for IT majors. For a gentler intro, if you're brand new to programming, C++ Without Fear is an excellent starting point, then move on to the Prata.

For Java, I recommend Head Start Java. It's very, very different from any other learn-to-program book out there. Especially recommended for the attention-challenged!

I heartily do not recommend anything by the Deitels--as a short version, they overcomplicate the simple things, oversimplify the complicated things, and charge far too much for their books. Avoid at all costs.
