Safari books online is ~$300/year but is worth it weight in gold. Most of the time you just need part of a book and need to look at several books to find the right answer or code snippet. Currently my company pays for it but I'm so used to it now, I would pay if they decide not to.
- radioactive21 15y agoA lot of schools including my alma mater has this free for students/staff. They also allow alumni if you bought the lifetime alumni pack when you graduated which was $300 and included a bunch of other university services. I have use the safari books extensively, but their book viewer sucks. I wished it was a much better UI.
- gcb 15y agoMy employer also provides this. I like when i need to fully understand the inner workings of some new thing... which occurs once every 5yrs or so... for day to day stuff, a web search is much more practical... and you get helpful comments on the page most of the time
- MikeKusold 15y agoI believe that your membership to IEEE gets you access to Safari Online also.
