Might be worth a daily peek. Yeah, you have to create a free account...

Erco, thanks for the link.

December 9, 2015: Today's free book is "Raspberry Pi Robotic Projects"

George Sutton

And the ebooks can usually be downloaded in PDF, ePub, and Mobi formats, with accompanying Code downloadable in Zip format where applicable. A free account lets you keep all of your ebook downloads available at anytime.

Nice find, thanks!

hazlett

Does I really have to create free account to download free ebook? Can I just download the ebook without account.

mindrobots

Nope, you need an account.

There's no such thing as a free e-book! (They'really like lunch!)

It does give you a nice little e-bookshelf to put any other Packt books you might own or purchase in the future.

You can always set up a burner email some place if you must.

Phew, I though you were gonna admonish me for cross-posting here and in robotics. It's clearly against the rules, Moderator Jim!

Forgive me, I only did it since the offer is only good for a few hours today.

Publison

Tis the season of forgiving. (Got to stay on Rev Whit's good side).

By the way, this didn't stop on Dec 21st.

Today's free book is on Socket.IO

Seairth

Indeed! They've extended it to January 19! Now I just have to find time to read all of these books!

DavidZemon

Fantastic! Wish I'd seen this thread earlier.

erco

I've downloaded the few I was interested in (ROS, etc). There have been some pretty obscure titles in the mix!

erco

"Dart" web client and server applications? Anyone? (Cue tumbleweeds)

https://www.packtpub.com/packt/offers/free-learning/?utm_source=googlepDP&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=FLOffer

Free and assuredly obscure. Anyone ever used Dart?

Anyone heard of Dart?

erco

I keep thinking they will run out of obscure titles and get back to something I care about. Does anyone here give a hoot about:

Dart
Apache Kafka
Heroku
Hadoop
Clojure
R-Machine

Except for the enterprise server ones they had, i've basically grabbed every one of them! who knows if I will every read them, but at least I'll still have the option.

erco

Excellent, I can identify. An E-hoarder!

mindrobots

I had Apache Kafka at a fusion restaurant one time I think. It made me hadoop!

Every morning, have coffee, grab the daily e-book.

erco

OK, thanks for the correction Rick. I thought Kafka was to Apache Wipeout as Atomic is to Wedgie. Thanks for straightening out my serious error in hadoopment.
