I don't want to know which website you visit daily like discussed here, but where do you go to get your programming problems solved?
(Except stackoverflow, of course)

A:
- MSDN
- Experts exchange
Edit:
I am a bit confused, The question asked for sites other than SO and these sites actually help ME.
In my day to day work I do find many of the answers I seek there.
MSDN can be very helpful once you get how to use it.
Experts Exchange has some answers on questions that I could not find anywhere else (bitschnau - I am not paying for it, just scroll down once you get to the page from Google - the answers are there).
Sorry my sites are not to your liking...

Since I see a lot of questions related to my problems on experts exchange, is it worth the fee? The page itself looks to me like an money catcher. Is it really an "experts exchange"?

StackOverflow was created because of the crap that is "experts exchange"

You have to be kidding. I've greasemonkey'd both of those out of my google results and never looked back.

Experts exchange is the bane of programmers everywhere.And MSDN is almost as confusing at times as it is helpful...

@dror - fwiw, I strongly disagree with you, but I've not downvoted you personally because as you quite rightly point out this is a subjective thread

I've found www.codeproject.com and msdn.microsoft.com to be indispensable to me as a .net programmer.
I always liked experts exchange because you can scroll down to the end and read the answer for free.

Oh, it's "Experts Exchange"... I thought this was "Expert Sexchange" so I never clicked on the links... ;-)

Funny, I always hated expertsexchange because they went out of their way to hide the info from you. Curious that this answer is up here whilst dror said basically the same thing down at the bottom. I guess people really like codeproject :P

I don't have a favourite site. If I have a problem I just google until I find a solution. Don't see a reason to limit myself to only one resource. But if I really can't find a solution I ask here at SO or our local PHP site, which is of no use for most of you as it is a Slovenian web page :)

Yours.
There's a few within specific domains, but these days I mostly find the solutions I need from random blogs, via google, where SO fails me.

I've learnt more from the www.macdevnet.com than anything else. www.safaribooksonline.com has also been really useful because I've been able to look at previous versions of books as well as the most up to date. It's surprising how much is left out when some books are updated.

gamedev.net forums. The community has a lot of really knowledgeable people (in both theory and practice) and it's not only about game development.

Every morning I check about 30 developers blogs, for updates on interesting resources, releases, reviews and opinions. But to solve problems I use to search in google, here, and in MSDN Library.

One that hasn't been mentioned is the website/forums/support for third party components (like dev express etc).

I always seem to land on Rick Strahl's West Wind site. Rick has a freaky ability to hit the same problems I do, about 6 months in advance!
