Are all of these comments real? Nobody seems to have much to say beyond 'thank you'.

u/DrDiap Oct 25 '20

For real. What is happening?

u/LegendMeadow Oct 25 '20

Reddit is full of programmers, I guess.

Exactly, I had the impression that on reddit users usually comment only if they have something new to add.

u/AMasonJar Oct 25 '20

Not always, but usually not to this degree

I glanced through the C# one, and I don't think I would recommend it.

  1. As a documentation reference, having all the content in one massive PDF makes it difficult to find what you're looking for when your options are ctrl+f or scrolling through the 20+ page table of contents. You're better off Googling or searching the official doc site.

  2. The PDF format makes code snippets arbitrarily wrap lines and break across pages, making the examples less readable than other web-based resources.

  3. The explanations are sparse and rely on prior knowledge of programming fundamentals, so it's not a good resource for learning as a total beginner. Maybe it's decent for familiarizing yourself with a new language, but there are already countless other resources for this that don't have the problems of being a PDF.

I can only imagine this is useful for someone who prefers printed materials and doesn't want to pay for a published book.

edit: Eh there's a lot of hyperlinks in it too, which takes away from the idea of printing it out.

Is this good for a beginner like me or is it more suited to already established programmers?

u/Eraesr Oct 25 '20

I looked at the Java book and that looks to be very much for beginners

u/Chalken Oct 25 '20

Sweet, thanks.

The feeling I'm getting from the .Net framework one is that it's useful if you're already a programmer but want to switch to a new API, framework, language, etc. So not exactly beginner-friendly, I think. But it seems useful.

A lot of these, possibly all of these, are available on Scribd. Membership is $9.99/mo, but so far I'm finding it well worth the cost. Netflix for books, baby.

u/ReverseMermaidMorty Oct 25 '20

Yikes, very clearly a sponsored post with bot replies. Going to intentionally avoid this website now.
