I think the link for Git From Bottom Up is down. I can't access from my computer and also checked with http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

The dead link is http://ftp.newartisans.com/pub/git.from.bottom.up.pdf

like this: http://borgified.github.io/free-programming-books/

it doesn't have to be fancy but maybe an improvement over the current README.md

awalabil in a feuchen of coller,

I encountered Pycrumbs. Its is an enormous list of python references.

Should it be merged with this repository?

Hi, I was browsing the english section of free programming books and an entry named "Getting Started with Ubuntu" caught my eye out of curiousity (What's in a Linux book?). I clicked and it brought me to the website but french was the chosen language. I thought this was strange considering I'm based in the US and not going through any proxies. An easy fix would be to change the link from:

http://ubuntu-manual.org/

to:

http://ubuntu-manual.org/?lang=en_US
or
http://ubuntu-manual.org/?lang=en_GB
or
http://ubuntu-manual.org/?lang=en_AU

You may want to add python / web2py

Hi,

Thank you for this useful repository.

Can you add these two HTML&CSS resources:

• A beginner's guide to HTML&CSS: http://learn.shayhowe.com/html-css/
• An advanced guide to HTML&CSS: http://learn.shayhowe.com/advanced-html-css/

I find them very useful and clear.

Thanks

Why not add a cryptography section?

It seams that both Building Android Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and Learning Android books are no longer available due to O'Reilly removing them from the Open Feedback Publishing System.

It might be a good time to start looking for other available free Android books instead of leaving an empty category.

Hi all,

It's possibile to create a section for every language to create lists for non-english materials? The actual list will be moved under "En" or "English" section and the other lists will be created under relative language.

i want to contribute for translate english to korean.

Is there a good Curl reference to add? I am looking for one.

The link below doesn't seem to contain any valid download links. When I click the book image or the "Download the Book" link it takes me to an error page.

* [Data Structures and Algorithms: Annotated Reference with Examples](http://dotnetslackers.com/projects/Data-Structures-And-Algorithms/)

The should be only one pt file, the same way there is only one 'en' language.

Who seeks Portuguese books are more like people who doesn't know English, and we can read both Portugueses (pt_PT and pt_BR)!

Can I merge these two files?

Are the entries being curated?
Perhaps a voting system would be a good improvement.

This is not yet a book about JavaScript, but it will be one in the future.

these first two links are dead. showing status 404.

Yes, not really a big issue, but they even have an ISO for this.

It seems like someone just copied the english list when creating the chinese one, and then never bothered to delete the english list.

Is there a reason for that?

Yes, No, Maybe?

Hey,

Can u cite any information on "Hacking".

regards.

Hello, you can consider this a feature request/enhancement.

I've noticed that in the case of some lists of free books, the software they are using seems to be a bit outdated (especially for software like frameworks, etc.)

What I propose is to use a 2-way table to perhaps divide the actual link with the version of the main software being addressed in the book.

Eg. Deep Dive into Rails | 3.04

This will be a good way for people to see what version of the software the book is written for without having to scroll through the book for it.

When I was adding my books to the list I figure out that there is not a standard for the formatting on the files.

For instance, some people use:

### Android

* [Name](link)

And other people use this format:

### Android
* [Name](link)

The problem here is with the new lines behind a header.

I propose to use 2 newlines between the last book of the list and the new header, and between the header and the first book not use a newline.

#115 was an attempt to check broken urls

creating new issue for visiblity

i finally got around to writing the url checker. actually i had it finished a while back but i wasnt happy with it then. now, i've had some time to rewrite it, add some improvements and i think it's ready for usage. as it stands:

1. it'll scan all the (free-programming-books*.md) books and go through each url.
2. if url is bad, it creates a github issue here with that url. it includes the language (ie. ja, en, it) so you know which file to find the bad url. also it will include the original committer's login so that they are automatically notified (maybe they'll return and give us updated link in a PR)

for an example of what it might look like in action, check out here:

https://github.com/borgified/test_issue/issues?state=open

i just made a test repo to create the issues when the script finds bad urls.

my url checker script is here: https://github.com/borgified/url_checker

if all goes well, i plan to run this in redhat's openshift under cron job... maybe once a week might be enough?

there's a few other improvements i still need to make like:

1. dont recreate new bad url issue if the same url issue already exists
2. figure out how to run it inside openshift

let me know if you want me to run it once to start things off. i'm holding off because it will create a bunch of issues (there are a few bad urls) and i dont want to spam up the issues section without your blessing.

Hi...
Should we create a server for books that are free but not on the web and people upload them in different services(like Dropbox or Google Drive)?
I can provide the host (a linode server)...

Having everything in a single file is a bit of a pain to browse through and not really scalable. Could we perhaps split this into separate files? Maybe one for each language/sublist with the current sections turned into folders? (or since some of the languages are kind of sparse, maybe four files: Meta-Lists, Graphics Programming, Language Agnostic).

I'd submit a pull request, but it'd probably break all the current open pull requests. (and I'm not sure whether it'd conflict with your markdown-html conversion)

The manual index which are now is problematic :

• they must be completed manually -> could have forget
• they implie to check the validity of internal link

I propose to deleted them, and to let pandoc with the --toc options to produce it.

That implies I thinks to make a makefile (I can do it), which will product the output in pdf and .html format automatically.

Consider adding this for Clojure:

Hi,

Can we add links to the following?

FreeBSD documentation, has options to download in multiple formats.
http://www.freebsd.org/docs/books.html

Greg Lehey’s The Complete FreeBSD, but his site is down
http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/

and the PC-BSD's user handbook, with various formats.
http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/PC-BSD%C2%AE_Users_Handbook

Love the compilation. :)
I have no experience in git(and a proper net connection), otherwise I would have sent a pull request.
Thanks!

I did not find this book under the Lisp topic:
Common Lisp - An Interactive Approach by Stuart C. Shapiro
http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~shapiro/Commonlisp/

On the website, internal links from the Index list to each of the sections are dead. For example, the Python link goes to #python but the Python section's href is #python-5. Each of the sections has -5 appended to the anchor name for some reason. The markdown file is fine so it seems to be a bug with whatever Markdown to HTML conversion tool is being used.

Emails about new pull requests of books in other languages are often ignored, and they're often annoying.

I bet there are no more than five people care about books of all languages,

Aren't these supposed to be free programming books? This one appears not to be free.

There are a number of titles aimed at younger people in the list, especially in the Python section. It would be good to have a way to highlight those. What would be the preferred way to do that? A special marker, a separate list, anything else?
