Here u can find some usefull ebooks for improowe yours skills
removed (really a lot of ebooks)

The question is...
Are those free ebooks, or pirated (arr!) ebooks?
Hmmm....

Personally, I'd recommend people buy books to learn programming/scripting languages from http://amazon.com/ . They have an amazing selection, and having the actual physical book in your lap or on your desk is a lot easier than reading it on a screen (for me, anyway). Their prices are cheap as well.

Also, a tip to anyone who is aiming to learn PHP with MySQL: Make sure the version of PHP and MySQL your host has matches the version the book teaches for. Some shared hosting providers use outdated versions, so the code will not execute unless you modify it for those versions. I learned this the hard way.

And another thing... despite what the book says, you will NOT learn C++ in 24 hours, unless you complete every one hour section in one hour, and stay up for 24 hours. Even then, you won't learn anything, since you'll be crunching it in. So, don't go by the title of the book.

Thanks for the link, format.
It will for sure come in handy.

Nintendud,
amazon.com is good, but it requires some money from you, and sometimes you cannot afford it. Then comes the ebooks found on different websites, which are for free..

I'm going to go with my gut on this one:

That's why I said "good place to buy books. I find that a lot of free ebooks and guides aren't as good (in general) as bought books. I tried that route before, and it didn't work too well for me.

Anyway, I recommended Amazon since their prices are fair for programming books. Sorry for the misunderstanding
