When I first learned of these eBooks via my partner in crime, Rafael from Really Simple Sidi, I was intrigued, but wanted to wait and see if their stuff was any good. FreeLoadPress now has their initial selection of manuals / texts online, and I am pleasantly surprised. The manuals are available in downloadable pdf. In order to provide this content for free, one page advertisements have been inserted at the beginning of each chapter, but NOT within the actual technical explanations.
Here is the "Making Data Visible" excerpt from the Excel 2003 manual. You will need to visit FreeLoadPress to download your own copies. I was able to download these software manuals in one session without any problems:
- Access 2002
- Dreamweaver 8
- Excel 2002
- Fireworks 8
- Frontpage 2002
- Frontpage 2003
- HTML and CSS
- mySQL Basics
- PERL Basics
- Photoshop
- PHP Basics
- Powerpoint 2002
- Publisher 2003
- Windows XP
- Word 2002
On a rather humorous note, even though I registered under the "life long learner" category, FreeLoadPress asked me what I planned to purchase upon college graduation. Back in 1978 upon graduation from Dartmouth, the answer was a stereo.
