Where do our best programmers look for educational literature?

Question

Electronic books

I am working on a project related to e-books. Studying the target audience, I found out that among the readers of e-books there is a large proportion of programmers. they need to keep abreast of new technologies and do not have time to wait for the translation, and even more so the printed version in their homeland. It is clear that a lot is read on forums and specialized sites, but if we talk about e-books, pdf-documents and other reading files, where do you get them, where do you look for them? Maybe something like docstoc.com or on the same amazon.com...?

Answer 1

www.wowebook.info/ , pragprog.com/ , manning.com/ , leanpub.com/ and Oreilly. In general, I'm looking directly at the site of publishers. Old books on amazon.

Answer 2

For books - Amazon, Google, publishing sites. In severe cases (there are no electronic versions) - you have to go to the pirates.
Short forms are everywhere. Subscribed to mailing lists from sites like thesrverside, techtarget, etc. Separately, a subscription to the blogs of favorite authors such as Fowler, Jacobson.
