Free technical ebook each day from Packt Pub
15Hi, just wanted to let the more technically-minded folks here know about Packt Pub’s free ebook a day offer.
Each day they offer a free ebook (looks like it runs to at least August 1st) on a different tech topic.
I blame the goat @brhfl for me not getting around to posting this sooner.
Today’s book is “Learning Metasploit Exploitation and Development”.
The site is: https://www.packtpub.com/packt/offers/free-learning

Sweet! I got today’s book. I don’t know enough about NumPy arrays!
@katylava I know! My wife and I were just discussing NumPy arrays at dinner last night and how we could both stand to learn more about them.
@katylava Glad to hear it worked out for you.
Just what I needed, another site to compulsively check daily.
Looking forward to reading about NumPy Array. And I’m not sure what I’m going to do with Oracle Database 11gR2 Performance Tuning Cookbook but i sure as heck have it!
@harrison Some of us still use Oracle 11g so that could be a useful book.
@cengland0 I’m sorry. I feel your pain.
“What you need to know about R” is the book today, but I’m going to stick with NumPy and SciPy for my scientific computing. Which I do, like, all the time.

Thank you! I missed a few decent ones I would not have mind owning.
@medz Well, that’s a romantic dinner conversation!
@wew yeah, the PHP web scraping might have been useful… might have given me enough motivation to finally get around to coding my automagic meh button clicker…
@baqui63 yeah. Ha! that’s the same title I noticed. I thought that would be a fun title to start with. I’ll have to keep my eyes open and see if it pops up somewhere.
Hmmm… The synergy (or whatever…) is almost painful.
It is a very long and painful story, but suffice to say that tomorrow we are rebuilding an old Oracle11g server from a Ghost image made in 2012 so that we can restore a database backup made about a month ago, so that our Oracle guy can do something his boss wants him to do.
@baqui63
Ouchie.
Maybe consider some of the books from No Starch Press, which definitely includes kids & parents as an audience (as opposed to Packt, which doesn’t).
Here’s No Starch’s kids section:

Maybe someone else here has specific recommendations?
@dashcloud cool link…thanks… We bought a few Make: books so far and they are working out…
Nice find. Thanks for sharing this!
Isn’t it time we finally stopped exploiting Metasploit? Come on people.
Looks like they have a special offer going on where all books and videos are only $10. I saw some yesterday that were $80 but are only $10 today.
@cengland0 I’m thrilled they brought back that sale- I bought craploads last time they had it.
Folks, definitely take advantage of this sale:

Apparently running until August 8th:

Bringing this back to everyone’s attention because today is the last day of the $10 video/ebook sale:
