For couple of $100 bucks you can get unlimited access to virtually every CS/tech book out there. This include brand new ones and even exclusive access to books with future publish date.
- ColbyJackRat 11y agoYou know, you seem pretty out of touch. You are comparing something free with a service that costs "couple of $100 bucks", more specifically $400/year for a subscription. If $400 is so little to you that you can just toss it aside that's all well and good, but that is not the case for a lot of people.. most of whom the subject of this post is aimed.
- dhoe 11y ago400$/y is not much for what you get from Safari books, and it's a minor expense for many professionals in the first world.
- deelowe 11y agoHow is this even remotely the same? Most of the Safari catalog isn't textbooks and it's $400 (a couple would be 200 btw) a year.
- asddubs 11y agoa couple doesn't necessarily mean two, depending on where you are from. it can also be synonymous with "a few"
- ksherlock 11y agoMy local library card gives me full access to safari. Might be worth checking if yours does, too. ACM membership also gives access to a subset of safari.
