I've just finished a Ruby programming eBook (10 chapters plus lots of source code). It's all free and you can download it from: http://www.sapphiresteel....m/The-Little-Book-Of-Ruby

I hope some of you may find it useful.  smiley

best wishes

This one is much better:
http://FreeComputerBooks.com

(1) It's very well catagorized, "Programming Languages", "Java and J2EE", "Computer Science","Web and Internet", "Databases", "Networking", "Microsoft", "Special Topics", WOW! I have seen any other free computer books site does the better job.

(2) It has a pattern search engine to bring the books you want right to you - not just page level search, it's item level search.

(3) It's rated #1 in Google - try to search "Free Computer Books" in Google to see what you get:
http://www.google.com/sea...ks&btnG=Google+Search

(4) It has more computer books than any other site - more than 3,000!!!

Most other free computer/programmong books likes (like mouser mentioned) just put all the links together, no categorization, no search engine.

This is definitely the best Free Computer Books site in the world!

Enjoy!
