"A programmer, computer programmer or coder is someone who writes computer software" from Wikipedia
If you do frontend development using jQuery/CSS/HTML do you call yourself a programmer? If you develop PHP applications that deal with databases, do you call yourself a programmer?
Are you only a programmer if you write applications for desktops and mobiles? Is the web a place where the line between developer and programmer stops?
I imagine this question might be closed off or moved but if you look at the most viewed question on Stack Overflow its a question about Free C Learning material :)

If you are writing a significant amount of Javascript code, then I'd say you are a programmer.
(If you are just copying snippets of Javascript you've found elsewhere, then that doesn't count.)

If you use jQuery, then you use JavaScript, which is a programming language.

Are there some nice libraries (and if so, what are they) for automating website queries using Haskell.
Basically I want to get a form, fill in some values and get the results (and naturally, do this repeatedly).
I'm not sure whether you're looking for a web scraper or just a way to make GET/POST requests. In the latter case, there's Network.HTTP, or the Haskell libcurl bindings. In the former, you could look into HandsomeSoup, or one of the other HTML parsing libraries (I've never actually used these myself, so I can't recommend a specific one).

I would like to dive into the world of SharePoint, but don't really know where to start. Maybe I haven't searched hard or long enough, but browsing through Stack Overflow gave me very little pointers.
So long story short, does any of you have pointers for me where to begin with learning SharePoint, what to do and maybe more important, what NOT to do...
My background: I have experience in Perl and Java, and I'm fairly new to C#, but still in the process of learning this language.
Thank you in advance!
I would strongly recommend you become at least reasonably fluent with C# before trying something like SharePoint as its not a particularly easy platform to develop for.
Having said that a great place to start is with the channel9 videos take a look here http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/sharepoint?sort=viewed

I have put almost all the programming languages I have worked with on my resume, while I am only proficient in Java.
I would split the programming languages into Basic and Intermediate sections if you know some languages better than the other.
The last thing you want is the interviewer asking you some esoteric question about a language that you only know basics of and judge you for it.
Well, just tell the truth. If you have an experience in C++, tell them. Be honest and don't be afraid to say you're a bit rusty with the syntax, that's it.
Anyway, if they ask you to program an algorithm live, most of the time you can do it in the language you prefer, even pseudo-code (according to my experiences).

I want to develope a server for World Of Warcraft. Where can i find a reference for this?
I got Mangos source code already.
You don't, because it's against the law.
Blizzard recently sued a company for doing this, and were awarded $88 million in damages. So unless you have a couple million dollars in legal penalties lying around, you simply don't do it.

like what is X windows,Cygwin,file system
Well, first you have to choose which Linux distribution you wish to use/learn, then you just use that distro's documentation, which normally has allot info.
You can find here some linux beginner lessons: http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/toc.html
Finally the best way to learn, besides reading is "getting your hands dirty". Install a distro of your choice and mess with it :)
I think this is a great way to start
