Free Programming Books!

Astonishing, the stuff you can find online...

I’ve just discovered a whole load of professional programming books available for free download. I admit that my initial reaction was "This can’t be legal!" The site, however, states that, while the titles are copyright, "The author / publisher has generously allowed them to be available for free online."

A bit of Googling for a few of the titles seems to indicate that this claim is indeed true. There are books in PDF format here ranging from Marco Cantu’s Essential Delphi, to Robert Nagler’s Extreme Programming in Perl. I’ve just downloaded Mark Pilgrim’s Dive Into Python; and PHP 5 Power Programming by Gutmans, Bakken and Rethans. Should keep me busy for a while... :-)

Thanks to all the authors and publishers who’ve made these books available. May your generosity be rewarded in Amazon!

    .I sluhod clarify that despite my complaints, I do believe that Microsoft, despite the antipathy regularly directed toward it, including from me at times, has done an immense amount of good for technology and for the world and has often been unjustly demonized.For balance you sluhod check out my post on the . It did get fixed eventually.Programmers just like to complain. Nice to meet you nicowens.

    Power Programming by Gutmans is the excellent book. It help me create wonderful interesting facts site. What a cool and fun ride that was. I had to realize the idea and little pointers from the book really helped.

    Hi Huw,

    Thanks a lot for the wonderful information I posted on my board!

    Some will say that’s not programming! ;-) I would like to add a link to SELFHTML aktuell, the “Bible of Html” written by Stefan Münz -> http://aktuell.de.selfhtml.org/

    Version 8.1.2 - Die Dokumentation zu HTML, CSS, XML, XSLT, JavaScript, DOM, CGI/Perl, DHTML

    Sorry, apparently there’re German, French, Spanish and Japanese versions! no English one!

    Associated to this book is a true community led by TeamOne ( http://selfforum.teamone.de/index.html )
