Whenever I see lists like this, I think:
- why doesn't it read "list of good programming books"? (the more the merrier, but how about quality?)
- how can such a huge list help anyone? Certainly no-one will read a significant percentage of them.
I'm all for free quality content, but these lists seems to be just for collectors.
- oceanician 15y agoI guess someone could take the list, and put a rate up next to each book to see which ones people think are actually the quality books. I still rate paper books over scanning through pdf for a solution or fix to a book. I'm definitely wrong though as the rest of the world values searchability over knowledge.
- mikeleeorg 15y agoThat would be a great weekend project for someone ;) If a rating and/or description exists online somewhere, it/they can be retrieved and displayed. Then add a way to make ratings & reviews, give them all some sorting options, and you'll have a nice, useful tool for programmers. I'd do it, but I already have a long list of weekend projects. :P
- parallel 15y agoThe books are on different topics. You only read the ones you want to.

- muyuu 15y agoIt does help me. Decent data for a topic-specific search engine, NLP, etc. What I usually do when it comes to finding good books is hitting amazon and see the reviews and recommendations. But I already have a big stack of great books that I should finish instead of wasting too much time looking for more.
