This is one book, you absolutely must read. Even if you don't program in Perl.
This is basically the equivalent of SICP for the scripting world.

#14I like how this is nearly exactly the text from the stack overflow question... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/194812/list-of-freely-ava...

"This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed."

#16Here's a nice collection about the same on Stack Overflow as well - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/194812/list-of-freely-ava...
I discovered that when I Read The Fine Article directly. I also discovered that the original list os frozen and out-of-date. It includes at least one book that is no longer freely available, and omits my own JavaScript Allongé, which was made free this month.

#17Yes, this is basically a carbon copy of other lists, but I found at least one resource that was new to me - http://refcardz.dzone.com/ So cool.
