This page is supposed to be a collection of (hopefully) useful links. Clearly, this list is a list of items that I think might be useful, it is not meant to be representative and may well be biased. I added some comments to the links to give you some idea where to start, but this is just my personal feeling - yours may well be different. If you have suggestions for additions or comments, please let me know.

the shell

http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php: introduction to the *nix shell

editors

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs: emacs text editor (edits files, lets you read e-mail, comes with free psychiatrist and is reported to do the washing up if your hardware supports it - see also its reference card)
http://www.nano-editor.org: nano text editor (simple editor for the basic needs)
http://joe-editor.sourceforge.net: joe text editor (simple text editor, with syntax highlighting, but unfortunately not preinstalled on CIP pool machines - easy to install, though)
http://www.vim.org: the VIM text editor (some people love it, some hate it, but it's quite powerful)

programming and related things

http://root.cern.ch: ROOT homepage (see its User's Guide and its Reference Guide)
http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~wjk/C++Intro: An Introduction to the Imperative Part of C++ (should be enough to get you started in C++ if you have not done a lot of programming before)
http://www.icce.rug.nl/documents/cplusplus:C++ Annotations (textbook for learning C++ for people already familiar with C - if you are familiar with the material in the previous item, this will give you a good introduction to more advanced C++ topics like object-oriented programming)
http://www.zib.de/visual/people/mueller/Course/index.html: an introduction to OOP (if you want to know more)
http://www.mindviewinc.com/Books: home of the online version of "Thinking in C++" by Bruce Eckel (a lot of material, but you can definitely learn a lot there)
http://www-root.fnal.gov/root/CPlusPlus/index.html: C++ Basics for ROOT Users (good to get you started in ROOT, but not so good for learning proper C++)
http://www.cppreference.com: reference for the C++ runtime library and the STL (Standard Template Library): this is where I usually look when I have forgotten how to do something but don't need all the details
