Ask HN: Alternatives to Oreilly Learning?

14 points by atulatul ↗ HN
Now that they have parted ways with ACM, the membership seems costly. What are some good alternatives?

Packt has a wide variety of tech books, but editing quality varies.

Same with Apress. Apress has books at $9.99 during Cyber Monday. They are probably the two alternative publishers to consider most similar in scope to Oreilly.

I’ve found packt books quite poor quality tbh, much else than oreilly

The O'Reilly Learning library includes many Apress and Packt (pretty sure on this one) books. It's not just O'Reilly's own books. It's a pretty massive legal library of technical books, but I don't pay for it myself (my employer pays for it).

My local library provides access to Oreilly. Before you pay for a membership or find an alternative, it's worth checking your library.

Can you name the library?

I’ve found most don’t have access.
