If you're talking about operators, I don't think I've ever seen any kind of in-depth list that wasn't specific to a language. There's too much variation from language to language, most of the common ones are pretty self-explanatory.




If one is going to hack MAME then a decent C++ tutorial is recommended. If you're going to create custom drivers or very tightly-coded and very efficient proggies for specific FPU's/CPU's then assembly is recommended. Or, if you just want to code something quick'n'dirty there's FreeBASIC. And then there's various libraries that can help you code without having to code specific routines from scratch. And there's also JavaScript, Perl, Python, Ruby and many other languages.

Know what you want to do, pick a language, find a decent compiler for it, grab the appropriate reference and go for it. :-)
