MOVE CANDIDATE
This page is being proposed to be moved to somewhere else. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page.
Reason: Programming resources as of wikipedia:Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) and talk page conversationThe following is a list of recommended books for learning how to program:
First, check GitHub's extensive list of free programming books: https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books/blob/master/free-programming-books.md
Second, a very comprehensive list: http://programming-motherfucker.com/
The gentoomen have also provided a torrent at http://books.gentoomen.org/ which has a metric fuckton of books, and if you prefer actual physical books, you can get them for really cheap from http://abebooks.com
If you don't see the book you're looking for listed, search the following lists for other sources of books:
