Long Live Safari Books Online
My Safari Books Online subscription just came up for renewal, and I thought it was worth a quick mention here. There are only a few products and/or services that are so good they make me happy to part with my money, but Safari is one of those. I am a technical books junkie. I used to buy books at a much higher rate than I could read them. You know you have a problem when you buy the 2nd edition of something that is already on your shelf, unread!
After an unsuccessful bid to get my employer to spend $160 on me for a year of service, I paid for it out of my own pocket and never regretted it for an instant. It satisfies my every nerd book craving for about $500 less per year than I was in the habit of paying.
They have a higher tier of service that includes videos and tutorials, but I haven’t coughed up the money yet.
Highly recommended. By the way, they have nothing to do with Apple’s excellent Safari web browser. It’s too bad they permitted a namespace collision.
