I just noticed the "Bruce Perens' Open Source Series". It's series of Prentice Hall books which are released under an "open publication license" a few months after their publication. They can be freely downloaded and printed (or read on screen, to save trees) - or, more fairly, used to preview the book before you go and buy it.
You can see the list of books in http://www.phptr.com/promotion/1484?redir=1 One of the interesting books I saw there and downloaded is "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3", an introductory book about Qt (3.2) written by the Trolltech people. Since my intimate knowledge of Xlib, Xt, Motif and Tcl/Tk are starting to become obsolete, I thought this is one book I should read :) Other books you can download on that site are * Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager * Rapid Application Development with Mozilla * The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide * Implementing CIFS: The Common Internet File System * Managing Linux Systems with Webmin: System Administration and Module Development * Intrusion Detection with SNORT: Advanced IDS Techniques Using SNORT, Apache, MySQL, PHP, and ACID * The Linux Development Platform * Embedded Software Development with eCos -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Oct 12 2004, 27 Tishri 5765 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |A diplomat thinks twice before saying http://nadav.harel.org.il |nothing. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
