Free Programming Books
A massive, community-maintained collection of free programming books, courses, and learning resources in many languages.
What is Free Programming Books?
Free Programming Books is a massive, community-maintained list of freely available educational resources for software development. It solves the problem of finding high-quality, legally free learning materials by aggregating books, online courses, tutorials, and cheat sheets in one place. The project is administered by the Free Ebook Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting free educational content.
Self-taught programmers, computer science students, educators, and developers of all skill levels looking for free, high-quality learning materials. It is especially valuable for non-native English speakers, as it includes resources in many languages.
Developers choose this resource because it is the largest, most comprehensive, and most trusted centralized directory of free programming education. Its community-driven nature ensures the list is constantly updated and vetted, and its multilingual focus makes it uniquely accessible to a global audience.
