    At least they're there and they work - No need for the apologies

    About time we get something useful out of IBM.. considering the money my employers spend on them a year.

    I'm very familiar with IBM. They're certainly dummies.

  • Majalenko on 19/12/2018 - 10:00

    Nice one!

    The filenames for some of the PDFs are incorrect and correspond to some other book. Perhaps someone can investigate, maybe there are more free ebooks to be had!

      That someone could be you…

    • Taegukgi on 19/12/2018 - 19:39

      There probably is more but this is all I could find at 1130pm Finnish time.

  • qaziatiq on 19/12/2018 - 10:08

    Thanks for these, right in time for holiday reading

      I feel like creating another account, so I could upvote this twice.

    • Wystri Warrick on 19/12/2018 - 12:42

      ROFL, I've bookmarked this lol.

  • ensanguined on 19/12/2018 - 10:10

    Damn I was looking forward to these but man are they dissapointing! These aren't meaty or detailed at all. Like the API and Spark ones are just 40 pages of basic blabber. These reviews say it all: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25033065-apis-for-dummie…. Pamphlets IBM gives out at trade shows seems an apt description!

    • BeefBiryani on 19/12/2018 - 10:19

      They are for dummies. For in depth read, please see the learn XYZ in 1 hour books.

      If you're looking for some top IT books I can 150% recommend Scott Muller.
      His books are incredibly well written, jam packed with information and are also entertaining to read, his books also come with a DVD with a few hours of great video and previous editions in PDF.

        Thanks for the suggestion. Any particular ones you would recommend for networking?

        • Wystri Warrick on 19/12/2018 - 23:22

          General and home networks are covered in the upgrading and repairing PC's series, I believe the latest is the 22nd edition.
          There is upgrading and repairing networks 5th edition, but it was published in 2006 and I don't believe there is newer edition.

          You might find this link to books on networking useful.
          Scott's books
          Scott's Forum, pretty much inactive but there's lots of useful material to read/browse.
          Toms Hardware is an excellent resource, and if you ever need IT help people on there know their stuff.
          Scott's DVDs uploaded onto YouTube, he doesn't bother to get YouTube to take them down lol.

          I can definitely recommend to get upgrading and repairing PC's 22nd edition.

  • Bob Wang on 19/12/2018 - 10:27

    I was wondering if we can listen to the eBooks, perhaps some kind of tools?

    Thanks in advance,

      I use the text to speech on moonreader plus on android. Works great

      • Bob Wang on 19/12/2018 - 14:45

        Thanks

      • Nat4an on 19/12/2018 - 15:19

        Can't see in the description, Does it still read when the phone is locked?

  • w37hsyea on 19/12/2018 - 10:28

    thank you. Great to skim through at no cost.

  • Quantumcat on 19/12/2018 - 11:02

    Started reading the machine learning one, it isn't written very well and reminds me of my high school essays where I would try to use the longest words possible to sound smarter and pad out all the sentences to meet the word count criteria :-/ Not well edited.

    • Oz8argain on 19/12/2018 - 11:08

      I mean, they were probably written in a way that dummies could understand.

      • Quantumcat on 19/12/2018 - 11:19

        I think they're written in a way dummies CAN'T understand…?

  • Hunter54998 on 19/12/2018 - 12:04

    How will I download all of these?

    • rygle on 19/12/2018 - 17:28

      I think you need "Save Link As for Dummies", except they haven't written that yet…

    • pacificstorm on 19/12/2018 - 21:02

      Google Drive is your friend.

    Thank you @Chibot. These short-form books are great for folks who just need to know enough. Agree that verbage can make reading difficult, but hey they are free and I can live with that.

  • marcozmitch on 09/01/2019 - 22:46

    Here is a search of "dummies ebook" of the resource…lots of other "IBM" related information here too?
