A straight up copy/rehost of https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books/bl... with some sections removed.

Why the fork?

I removed a bunch of dead links and added about a couple hundred new resources

Cool. Did you make a PR to do the same on the repo? If not, could you? It would be nice to share the love.

Yup! Hopefully, in the next couple weeks. I've copied and pasted links from a bunch of different sites & lists, I'd like to clean up the formatting a bit and make sure it fits the structure for this one.

Hey! I created this repo, please respect the license?

Hey Victor! I just sent you an email!

Woah!

This is such a trip: I wrote the original StackOverflow post in 2008 this repo is based on (even though it seems to be credited to someone else), posted a bunch of books, turned it into a community wiki and promptly forgot about it. Now I realize 9 years later it is/was the most starred topic of all time and resulted in your repo which is also one of the most popular of all time! Amazing.

Edit: Seems I can still see it once logged in: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yll89xoa7qwl4ed/Screenshot%202017-...

Stop by the repo and say hello. We can always use more help with maintenance and improvements; a bit of history doesn't hurt either!

I've been surprised how often new contributors mention that it's their first time contributing to an open source project. We need help to make sure it's not their last.

Its nice but an index would be cool. I mean its so long and an index would help navigation greatly.

"Network Programming in Go" is no longer free so it should be removed from the list.

This book has been removed as it will shortly be published by APress.
