Most programming books start with tips for starters. I don't think that's a good way to do it. I want books that get into the programming techniques the pros use. What to use when building functions, how to build a proper class within the goals set. I think this is better than explaining the reserved words or other things that belong to an encyclopedia.

You can choose a custom donation and make most of your money go to the EFF. Then the top tier is just like a €24 donation to the EFF and you only really "pay" €10.30 for the actual books.
All the good stuff is in the top tier
It always is. That’s how their entire business model functions.
I looked at the blurb for this and yawned. Other stuff from Humble has varied from great to crap.
Agreed, but No Starch are usually great
In contrast Packt is on the crap end.
Yep, 💯
