C Programming - The only rather important points are under "C Basics", "Conditionals", and "Looping and Iteration".
Programming Basics (Java)
I have not read all of the material on these sites but they look ok at first glance. That having been said, I relied on the first site several times while doing undergrad work in computer engineering.
