A better list: https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books EDIT: looks like this blog post is actually copied from the repositary I mentioned. The repo content in Nov 2013 [0] actaully matches to this blog post. It was originally found by a redditor [1].

While we're on the list of programming books topic, I'd like to mention two that can be found here: https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books/blob/master/free-programming-books-de.md https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books/blob/master/fr... The first one is "Software Entwicklung in C" and it is an absolutely great book on building software in C. Personally, its the best I've ever read. The author is a meticulous architect, and really imbues solid software practices while teaching you how to build an embedded coffee machine. Also "Linux-Unix Programmierung" is a very detailed and comprehensive overview to all the linux libraries and their usage. If anyone can read german and does systems level development I would highly recommend both of those, especially the first one. Its a shame these kinds of freely available resources just go completely missed most of time. Does anyone have other really good books in non-English that have also gone under the radar? It would be great if we could somehow get some of these translated...

  why's guide, Learn Ruby the Hard Way, and The Bastards Book of Ruby are all good if you don't have any experience with it.
