To list,

I've got my site with HTML 4.1 and CSS w3.org standards compliance and still I have a hard tim trying to find the most accurate information on the internet on where to learn programming from? It's like I went to w3schools.com, O'Reilly Publishing, and various other places on my help file under programming resources to learn more and more information. However, I see much inconsistancies and with the development in technology that is everchanging, where is it best to learn new languages or current languages? There are HTML specifications at w3.org but they are incredibly technically ladened and I just don't know how to discern some of that inforamtion yet. So, do you guys have any ideas? I really want all of my web technologies and compiling software to be seen by Windows, Macs, and Lennox users to include only a few of them.
Currently my newest project in the future will be to provide a network for the blind programmer in mind to type in a code to describe in alt="text" the visual affect by the sighted described to me on the contents in the future. The first thing is to start off with the framework. This is where one of you fine fellows can point me in the right direction on the core information of languages. I know go to the original websites but from there? These websites can be huge or have b been bought out or something simular. So, this is my current delimma for the moment. Thanks for any help you can give.

I hope I understood what you're asking here. After the main source of information (the W3C site, in the case of HTML & CSS), it's good to follow the experts who study the specs. A List Apart is an important site, CSS3.info, 456 Berea Street. I follow a lot of resources and pick up tidbits from each. You also have to watch out for links posted by the experts to other resources you might not know about.

Also look for Opera's Web Standards Curriculum.
