Free eBooks from Apress
5 June 2007 in Links & Programming | Comments (0)

I was looking for ebooks on COM/.NET Interoperability and found out Apress is offering some ebooks free of charge at their website, including a “COM and .NET Interoperability” book.

Most of this books still exist as hard copy and probably on sale in book stores.

Currently, they are offering:

• A Programmer’s Introduction to PHP 4.0
• Writing Perl Modules for CPAN
• Programming VB .NET: A Guide For Experienced
  Programmers
• COM and .NET Interoperability
• XML Programming: Web Applications and Web Services With JSP and ASP
• Google, Amazon, and Beyond: Creating and Consuming Web Services
• Practical Common Lisp
• Dissecting a C# Application: Inside SharpDevelop

I don’t know if this list will ever change, but I really hope so.
