I'm fucking tired of these god damn """"professors"""" from the last generation refusing to keep up to date with programming languages and at the same time thinking it's acceptable to be teaching shit like it's still the 1980s. I don't even know if this is an issue elsewhere, but now I might as well burn this shit that I've bought and I'd get the same value out of it.
Where the hell do I get good books, /g/? Everywhere I look from local book shops, I can't get Bjarne Stroustrup's books for less than $100. I don't even know how the price can be that jacked up.
I'm trying to self-learn javascript and every problem I research comes up with a million different solutions based on standards of varying antiquity
If it ain't broke, don't fix it :^)

The internet. If you're more comfortable about them being physical just print them.

It will be maybe $80 with postage, you probably won't get a new physical copy for any less.

for the cost of ink to print any one of those books you could purchase 3.5 color laser printers and then print all of those books in <10 minutes with a fraction of the toner included.

bullshit. The cost of the paper alone would be higher.

>worth anything
from my local office store that overcharge for everything paper is worth $0.005956 per sheet, so it'll cost you $220 to print all those books total, even less if you get a discounted B&W laser.
i'm going to go out on a limb here and say even after buying string and wax to bind the pages you'll still come out better off than paying retail for those books :^)

That just means you're learning about javascript, where quality control is unheard of and there is no such thing as a stable API.

Programming language theorists make the best programming books. You just need to skip all that talk about formal semantics, normal forms and such.

That might be true, but they're still expensive as fuck

Sad that I have to mention this on /g/ of all places.
