Humble Bundle: Web design and development ebooks

• amingilani 8y ago
  Would this be worth it? Should I buy it?

    For $15? I'll say!

      I'm only hesitant because the last time I bought a bundle because of HN. I didn't ever find any use for it.

        This is my first time ever buying one and I know these books individually cost more than $15. I have a dream project that involves voice, I want to know more about HTTP/2, and I could always improve my JavaScript skills.

    I was wondering the same thing myself. I know it's unscientific / biased, but I usually take a quick peak at the Amazon reviews. Here's the summary, in case it helps anyone else: - Programming Voice Interfaces = no reviews - Mobile App Development with Ionic = 3.5 stars (3 reviews) - JSON at Work = no reviews - Refactoring JavaScript = 5 stars (2 reviews) - CSS Refactoring = 4 stars (4 reviews) - Interactive Data Visualization for the Web = 5 stars (16 reviews) - Learning React Native = 5 stars (2 reviews) - Learning HTTP/2 = 4.5 stars (7 reviews) - SVG Animations = 4.5 stars (8 reviews) - Working with Static Sites = no reviews - React Native Cookbook = no reviews - CSS: The Definitive Guide = 5 stars (13 reviews) - Using SVG with CSS3 and HTML5 = 5 stars (1 review) - Learning React = 4 stars (22 reviews) - High Performance Images = 5 stars (1 review) The sample size of reviews for most of the books is a little limited, but I'm planning on picking up the bundle at the $15 level anyway -- CSS: The Definitive Guide is well-reviewed (and expensive by itself).

      Thank you for your research! Yes, I understand it's totally unscientific to ask that question on random internet forum but I'm trying to control my I'm impulsiveness and make more rational buying decisions.
