For me, SO has been an outstanding resource; I probably use it 2-3 times a day during the working week, and often on weekends for experimenting/self-learning/crunch time.

It's amazing how many people have asked the exact question I am asking, and the responses and comments are usually high quality.

W3schools has also been helpful. I hear dismissive comments about it; maybe it's weak and dated for "advanced" full-stack types, but when I need to remember something about style sheets, javascript, HTML, etc., it's just very quick and easy, especially with the "try it" interactive widget.

Back in the day, usenet comp.lang.* and comp.os.* were like this -- terse, to the point, contributed by seasoned professionals. It's like a crowd-sourced interactive user manual. I just hope this acquisition doesn't mess it up :)
