OT: Looking for programming books

[Mike Schwartz]

on a related topic, the *Connexions* project:      http://cnx.org/
has some free course-ware that might be of interest,
[especially] if you are on a limited budget.
    quote from
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connexions :
<< "*Connexions* is a global repository of educational content that can be
adapted and updated by new authors. [...] the whole collection is available
free of charge, and students and learners can explore all the content.
Connexions is pioneering, along with other projects such as MIT
OpenCourseWare <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_OpenCourseWare> and the Public
Library of Science <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Library_of_Science>,
the idea of open educational
resources<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources> —
that scholarly and educational content can and should be shared, re-used and
recombined, interconnected and continually enriched." >>
    Hey, cool!  if there is any "gap" or problem with the quality, you
can suggest an improvement!  since it is [to be] "continually enriched"...!
Sound familiar?  (like, analogous to FLOSS?)
