I don't know of a site but there's a distro for python and julia, two numerical computing languages called Anaconda that can setup your machine with a numerical computing environment.

and for scientific programming examples in Java there's the Open Source Physics code at:

www.compadre.org/osp

There's a book that goes with it that is used in college courses on the subject by Gould, Tobochnik and Christian:
