Looks as thought O'Reilly is having a 2 day say (ends tonight) for their excellent, subscription based learning tool.

=================
Learn new technologies, build skills, and find the exact information you need to solve a problem on the fly.
You’ll get access to Safari's huge corpus of books, videos, training, and tutorials from 200+ professional publishers in the fields of tech, business, design, and more—as well as exclusive access to O’Reilly conference videos, advance copies of books, Learning Paths, the new Oriole interactive training, short-to-the-point lessons (and lots more to come).

=================

I've previously been a subscriber through work, but it's always been such an incredible resource that I'm going to sign up on my own now that I'm at a smaller firm.

Half off the yearly subscription comes to $199 per year, which is a significant amount of money, but also an INCREDIBLE value. I highly recommended Safari for technologists who want to stay on the cutting edge.

Safari - Save 50%

Enjoy!
 
Looks like it's been extended through the weekend. They also look to let you keep this price for life assuming you renew. I think I'm going to bite. Thanks for the post.
 
Yeah, I just did this today having been a long time subscriber. The site's been updated and it doesn't carry over anything like the saved lists and it doesn't look like there's anymore downloading options to local files.
 
That's too bad about the saved lists and the downloads, but not too surprising given publishers' concerns around DRM. I can also recommend No Starch Press as an excellent, DRM-free alternative if you'd rather own your material, as opposed to rent.

It's good to have options!
 
Is this worth it? I do software development and read/learn all the time, but with the advent of Internet/Coursera/youtube, there are so many options to learn vs a book publisher.

While what you say is true I think that if you are a tech person that's always needing to research stuff, at $200 year this is worth it IMHO.
