My list of linguistics databases.
Glottolog. A comprehensive database for language info, such as language family, endangerment status, and geography; with links to many references for each.
Ethnologue. Similar to Glottolog, but much of it is unfortunately behind a paywall.
LinguistList. The definitive source for news on linguistics conferences, jobs, etc. Be sure to sign up for the mailing list.
LingBuzz. Repository of linguistics articles and preprints.
LingAlert. Keep up to date with announcements about linguistics conferences. You can also subscribe to the LingAlert Google Calendar.
SIL glossary of linguistic terms.
Lexicon of Linguistics. Another glossary of linguistics terms; a little less up to date than the SIL glossary, but still a valuable resource.

Interactive sagittal section (Sammy). See a sagittal section diagram for various consonants.
Audio IPA chart. Click symbols to hear their pronunciation. Also available with video.
American English Sound Bar (Roslyn Burns). See and hear American English consonants and vowels, as well as an interactive sagittal section diagram.
UCLA Phonetics Lab Archive. Recordings and word lists from dozens of languages.
PHOIBLE. Database of phonological inventories from many languages.
UPSID web interface. UCLA Phonetic Segment Inventory Database. Which sounds are in which languages? Which languages have which sound? NB: UPSID uses a rather esoteric transcription system (see Appendix F).
Rutgers Optimality Archive (ROA). Repository for articles on phonology, especially those on Optimality Theory.

Using Praat for linguistic research (Will Styler). The authoritative (but also easy to understand) guide that should have come with Praat. (More about this source).
Praat command wizard. List of Praat commands available from menus and in PraatScript, including their parameters and defaults. (Some info may be a little out of date, but this is still very useful).
A brief introduction to Praat (Shigeto Kawahara).
Praat scripting for dummies (Shigeto Kawahara).
Shigeto Kawahara's Praat scripts
Christian DiCanio's Praat scripts
The Speech Corpus Toolkit for Praat (SpeCT; formerly Mietta's Praat scripts). A huge collection of Praat scripts

My R scripts
My collection of useful R stuff. Cool packages and useful stuff I've found, and short demos of key functionality from them. (Very much a work in progress.)

Online IPA keyboard. Just click on the symbol on the IPA chart, and it will be pasted into the text box at the top. Convenient for students who don't want to download/install anything for your course.
IPA Palette. A convenient IPA input tool for Macs. (No longer maintained, but may still work—YMMV).
Using IPA fonts with MacOS: A comprehensive guide (Will Styler).
SIL IPA fonts. See especially Charis, Doulos, and Gentium.
SIL IPA keyboard. (Requires Keyman).
SIL list of IPA Unicode keyboard layouts. (No longer maintained, but most still work).
nslxIPA keyboard layout for Mac (Nathan Sanders). I find this keyboard layout more intuitive than the ones provided by SIL.
Sapling (drawing syntactic trees). This tool is particularly easy for students to use.
TreeForm (drawing syntactic trees). The interface is a little fiddly, but does not require bracket notation.
jsSyntaxTree (drawing syntactic trees). (Formerly phpSyntaxTree.) Requires bracket notation.
