Many might think they know a lot, but the truth is we can’t possibly know everything. This is why books are so important. They help us to hone our skills and teach us new things we did not know, as well as renew the stuff we had forgotten. But the problem is that books are just so expensive. So when one finds something for free, it warrants a closer look.
The internet is littered with all sorts of tutorials. Some are excellent, while others are not worth the bandwidth. When searching for ASP.NET and C# tutorials a while back I came across a very interesting site.
Free eBooks download
The site has a collection of books from Wrox Publications, Apress, O'rielly, Sams, Microsoft Press, Murach's, For Dummies, Addison Wesley, Sybex, TestKing, Pass4Sure, Actual Tests, Transcender and more in pdf, chm, zip, rar format.
The eBook files have no passwords and there are various topics like free C# e-books, free VB.NET eBook, free ASP.NET e-books, free SQL 2005 e-book, free ADO.NET books, free AJAX eBooks, free .NET 2.0 eBooks, free WebServices eBook, MCTS Dumps, free XML e-books, free SEO books, free OOPS eBooks and much more!
Although each download is completely free, they have changed the procedure from a few years ago. Now you have to wait 30s before downloading, and non-members can only download 50mb per day. Still very useful though.
On this unique eBook site you will download more eBooks than the minutes you spend on it! You can come back at any time and find some fresh and useful eBooks waiting to get downloaded! They also give you a choice of buying the hard copy of the eBook from Amazon.com.
I don’t know the legalities of this type of site, but they do have a legal and copyright infringement page where you can report copyright infringements.
It certainly is worth a look.
