Ask HN: Alternatives to Oreilly Learning?
Now that they have parted ways with ACM, the membership seems costly. What are some good alternatives?
- ss48 4y agoPackt has a wide variety of tech books, but editing quality varies. Same with Apress. Apress has books at $9.99 during Cyber Monday. They are probably the two alternative publishers to consider most similar in scope to Oreilly.
- haspoken 4y agoPacket gives away a book every day. https://www.packtpub.com/free-learning https://www.packtpub.com/free-learning You need to claim it, but then you can access it whenever you want.
- Engineering-MD 4y agoI’ve found packt books quite poor quality tbh, much else than oreilly
- Jtsummers 4y agoThe O'Reilly Learning library includes many Apress and Packt (pretty sure on this one) books. It's not just O'Reilly's own books. It's a pretty massive legal library of technical books, but I don't pay for it myself (my employer pays for it).
- panda888888 4y agoMy local library provides access to Oreilly. Before you pay for a membership or find an alternative, it's worth checking your library.
- wikibob 4y agoCan you name the library? I’ve found most don’t have access.
- panda888888 4y agoIt's the Seattle Public Library
