For at least a month, the scientific publisher Springer is making 500 textbooks (so they say--I see a little over 400 in their list) available for free. There are some interesting titles among them, at least I think so.
The list is available as an Excel spreadsheet
here. If you don't have a programme that can open such a file,
OpenOffice will work.
Once you've opened the spreadsheet and find a book you're interested in, scroll to the right and you'll find the URL for the download page in column S. Alternately, you can copy the book title and paste it into the search bar on the
SpringerLink page.
Good hunting.

Ooo. I got all excited when I saw one on Digital Image Processing - and then I saw the subtitle: An Algorithmic Introduction Using Java. FTS!

Not that I really need this as I'm going to get a subscription to my alumni university which will include all this type of stuff and more. Only $25 a year.

Funnily enough, I bought half a dozen science textbooks when I retired, and kind of forgotten about them. I've just started to get into them, starting with a couple on the taxonomy of vertebrates, and the palaeontology of mammals. It's good brain exercise...
Nurse, where the fuck's my cardigan?
And my gin!

No, because JavaScript isn't a valid computer science tool - you idiot!
The Python books look pretty good. On covers the fundamentals, which are always worth refreshing, and the other is a workbook which sets out increasing knotty problems. Also got one on computational geometry which looks like a right laugh.

Well node needs a book to sort out its shit documentation.

That's what StackOverflow is for!
I'm using far more node locally these days than bash. It works great on Linux for bulk file operations etc.
