Free Programming Books by Victor Felder.
From the webpage:
This list initially was a clone of stackoverflow – List of Freely Available Programming Books by George Stocker. Now updated, with dead links gone and new content.
Moved to GitHub for collaborative updating.
Great listing of resources!
But each resource stands alone as its own silo. It can (and many do) refer to other materials, even with hyperlinks, but if you want to explore any of them, you must explore them separately. That’s what being in a silo means. You have to start over at the beginning. Every time.
That is complicated by the existence of thousands of slideshows and videos on programming topics not listed here. Search for your favorite programming language at Slideshare and Youtube. There are other repositories of slideshows and videos, those are just examples.
Each one of those slideshows and/or videos is also a silo. Not to mention that with video you need a time marker if you aren’t going to watch every second of it to find relevant material.
What if you could traverse each of those silos, books, posts, slideshows, videos, documentation, source code, seamlessly?
Making that possible for C/C++ now, given the backlog of material, would have a large upfront cost before it could be useful.
Making that possible for languages with shorter histories, well, how useful would it need to be to justify its cost?
And how would you make it possible for others to easily contribute gems that they find?
Something to think about as you wander about in each of these separate silos.
Enjoy!
