[itroundtable] Fwd: Announcement from The Official Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Group

During this pause in our careers, continuing education is most important. But technical books and good training courses can be expensive or hard to find. One good option that I found was renewing my membership in the ACM. As part of the member benefits they offer free online access to 1,100 books and 3,200 courses covering both technical, personal improvement and other areas. I have knocked off several O'Reilly books, competed a collection of course for a BA certificate, and done research on other topics of interest. Just getting three of the books I read would cost more then the membership.

For what you get, you can't beat the price. Check out the offer below to see if it makes sense for you.
