Re: [PLUG] Springer is offering a number of CS books for free

Thanks for the link.

I'm trying to learn Java and there are a couple of books in the free section that seem relevant.

This is definitely off topic but if there is anyone fluent in Java that wouldn't mind helping an old embedded C programmer learn some new tricks please contact me off-list.

Thanks.

I've been very, VERY critical of Springer and others over the way
that they handle scientific publication, but this one time: credit
where it's due. This is a good move. Hopefully we can all find
something new to learn in these.
