Final notes : Some of you may recognize some of those sites. I found some of those links here indeed. If you have some cool links about 3D/graphics coding you want to share, don't hesitate to post it here (but please use the same scheme : a list bracket for the link and a little description below for clarity)

K++ .. thanks a lot for this cool link-list and for taking the
time to comment each link!

Very Nice.
Have a karmoid.

Nice and useful links here!
Boozin' on the web i get stumble upon this one: http://freecomputerbooks.com (http://freecomputerbooks.com), maybe this one could be useful for some ppl here.
@Shockwave: feel free to remove the post if you think those books links sounds legally controversial. I just wanted to share knowledge with you all. (since I'm actually unable to get back anything out of my past coding skills, lack of time is not my friend!)
Cheers! ;)

Wow, wonderfull resources, over looked this the first time round. Cheers Hezad K++

I'm little sick these days, i didn't find any reference to "The Demo Effects Collection" ... not a real resource unless you need to do some coding for SDL enabled platforms...

Interesting oldschoolish link!
