$100 for a ACM membership $500 for O'Reilly. I can see why O'Reilly didn't want to renew. Learning materials are pretty slim with O'Reilly removed.

- geodel 5y agoYou are right of course. Maybe a narrower selection would work, instead of zero access now.
- volkadav 5y agoTBH I don't know what O'Reilly is thinking with that price point. I wish they had a "lite" version with just book access or something, because honestly that's all I ever use.
- Foobar8568 5y agoACM used to have full access to the O'Reilly online catalog e.g. "live training", and other things. I don't remember exactly when but we got a scaled down version of it, limited to books and video. I dont see myself supporting OReilly at that price especially when they run at least once a year a 50% discount (black friday). ACM offers other sources for books, not as complete catalogue but skillsoft has Manning Publications and No Starch Press, so from IT point of view, already great. I might miss the conference and some books there and there, but what is available is already great. Libgen/youtube and the like will cover the remaining.
