"you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a fuckin education you coulda got for a dollah fifty in late chahges at the public library"<p>I really like that quote from Good Will Hunting. Unfortunately, most of us aren't savants and there's a lot more that goes into learning something than finding one free textbook on it.<p>I think we're starting to see a lot more free textbooks because we're learning that, when it comes to education, resources are not as important as practice, community, and engagement
Hmm, it looks like "Free Textbooks on [choose subject]" submissions are an easy way to get some link karma on HN.<p>I've seen this happen quite often lately, and usually these kind of posts go up in the ranks pretty quickly -- they also generate near zero discussion :-)
