The Humble Book Bundle: Hacking presented by No Starch Press

Hack the planet. One of the best ways to strengthen your computer skills is to get to know what's going on underneath. With this bundle, you can learn how to dig your hands into all sorts of tech — ranging from Arduino to Python to Bitcoin!

The Linux Command Line
The Smart Girl's Guide to Privacy
Hacking the Xbox

Pay more than the average price to also receive

Pay $15 or more for all of that plus

Name your price. Together, the books in this bundle usually cost as much as $366. Here at Humble Bundle, though, you choose the price!

Read them anywhere. These books are available in PDF, ePUB, and MOBI formats, meaning you can read them anywhere at anytime. Instructions and a list of recommended reading programs can be found here.

Support charity. Choose where the money goes — between No Starch Press, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and, if you'd like, a second charity of your choice via the PayPal Giving Fund.

I like these sort of book bundles.

I'm also happy that I can get all my books in electronic form these days. I have old bookshelves that I modified to hold all the heavy books with L-brackets or wood blocks to keep them from warping.

Oh and on a side note regarding Hacking the Xbox... I was big in the scene 14 years ago (I wrote a dashboard for the Xbox called MXM). It was a true golden age for homebrew and game consoles.
