The problem is that there are so many different areas that such a resource would have cover, likely it would be quite hard to navigate. The difficulty is that someone learning and someone experienced creating/adding to the site see things differently and would look in different areas. For example, I haven't done linear algebra in years but am currently relearning it since I'm working on an extremely complicated problem that requires some very advanced knowledge. With Google, Wikipedia, and Stackoverflow I can find almost everything, it's just a matter of finding the correct terminology so I know where to look and how to read the documentation.

I've taken a look at w3school and it gives a pretty good overview, enough so that afterwords someone should be able to find what they need (I am biased since I already know a few languages). I remember I first expanded beyond C using codemonkey, though I don't know if they still exist or what state their tutorials are in.
