Free O'Reilly books and convenient script to just download them.

Thanks /u/FallenAege/ and /u/ShPavel/ from this Reddit post

How to use:

  1. Take the download.sh file and put it into a directory where you want the files to be saved.
  2. cd into the directory and make sure that it has executable permissions (chmod +x download.sh should do it)
  3. Run ./download.sh and wee there it goes. Also if you do not want all the files, just simply comment the ones you do not want.

Thanks a lot for the resources! I am now drawing up a development plan for the next year, so I will add it to my list. By the way, if you are also churning out book lists for yourself, then take a look at https://freebooksummary.com/category/hamlet-quizzes for more fiction books. For example, I would like to read Hamlet. This is from the school program, hehe

I've updated the script with Wayback links (for all books that have been archived there). If a line is commented out, the book is not available on Wayback. Here's the updated script:
