    When I see such list with a lot of tutorials/problems, I always want to ask: have you read it, or you just posted it?

First of all thank you for including my blog into this list.

The formatting of my blog is completely messed up now. I need to some day sit down and correct it :)

What about making a wiki page to give anyone permission to update them. For example, wiki page of Lazarus. In Lazarus page, there are a large number of trickS and tips in application developing.

This list are going to be too long. I think you should divide the list into sections, for instance, algorithm and data structure.

Maybe this and this

Btw, can you make links relative, please?
