O’Reilly creates a large section of “free” books on technology. Once again, they have raised expectations of other publishers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have long liked O’Reilly publishing. At first, the books with the excellent sketches of animals caught my eye. The content was usually as good or better than the covers. I attended a few conferences the O’Reilly held. They spoiled me as to how good conference presentations and presenters could be.<\/p>\n

O’Reilly has recently put many books online for reading at no charge. Here is a link to the programming section of free books<\/a>. At the bottom of the page, there are links to free books on other topics.<\/p>\n

This is excellent. I applaud O’Reilly. As a writer, I cringe a bit because the writers are not being paid, at least I don’t know how they could be paid when the publishers gives away the books. Well, they don’t give away the paper books, but allow us to read them without charge.<\/p>\n

This is excellent. I applaud O’Reilly. I know several would-be college students who have no money and don’t want to be in debt to the taxpayers for the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
