Give us YOUR quick learning resources!

As developers, we have to constantly learn new frameworks, languages, packages, patterns, whatever.

I don't know about you, but I don't have a ton of free time, so I'm always on the lookout for quick learning methods. For instance, If you know C#, you shouldn't have to read an entire book to learn Java, just the differences and some examples.

So post your treasure troves!
