I remember when I first started learning programming, I was broke and couldn’t afford expensive books. That’s when I discovered Project Gutenberg and Open Library. They offer tons of free classics like 'Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs,' which is a gem for beginners. GitHub also has repositories with free programming books, like 'The Algorithm Design Manual' by Steven Skiena. I spent hours digging through these resources, and they helped me build a solid foundation. Don’t overlook university websites either—MIT OpenCourseWare and Stanford’s CS50 have free materials that are gold for newbies. Libraries often have free digital loans too, so check your local one.

Finding free programming books for beginners is easier than you think, and I’ve got some killer recommendations. Websites like FreeCodeCamp and GitHub’s 'free-programming-books' repo are packed with options. 'Eloquent JavaScript' by Marijn Haverbeke is free online and perfect for beginners—interactive and easy to follow.

If you’re into Python, 'Automate the Boring Stuff with Python' by Al Sweigart is available for free on his website. It’s hands-on and super practical. For algo enthusiasts, 'Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures' by Brad Miller and David Ranum is another freebie that’s beginner-friendly.

Don’t forget YouTube! Channels like The Net Ninja and Traversy Media pair well with these books. Public domains and Creative Commons licenses are your best friends here. Just search smart, and you’ll find gold.

As someone who devours tech content daily, I swear by a few hidden gems for free programming books. 'Think Python' by Allen Downey is free online and breaks down concepts in a way that even total newbies get. Another favorite is 'How to Design Programs,' which uses a unique approach to teaching coding logic.

Platforms like Leanpub often give away free chapters or entire books during promotions. I snagged 'The Linux Command Line' by William Shotts this way. Reddit’s r/learnprogramming has threads where people share free resources—I found 'Cracking the Coding Interview' PDFs there.

If you’re into web dev, MDN Web Docs is like a free bible. Pair it with 'You Don’t Know JS' by Kyle Simpson, which is open-source. Always check the author’s website; many offer free versions to spread knowledge.

Find Him
Find Him “Somebody has taken Eli.” … Olivia’s knees buckled. If not for Dean catching her, she would have hit the floor. Nothing was more torturous than the silence left behind by a missing child. Then the phone rang. Two weeks earlier… “Who is your mom?” Dean asked, wondering if he knew the woman. “Her name is Olivia Reed,” replied Eli. Dynamite just exploded in Dean’s head. The woman he once trusted, the woman who betrayed him, the woman he loved and the one he’d never been able to forget.  … Her betrayal had utterly broken him. *** Olivia - POV  She’d never believed until this moment that she could shoot and kill somebody, but she would have no hesitation if it meant saving her son’s life.  *** … he stood in her doorway, shafts of moonlight filling the room. His gaze found her sitting up in bed. “Olivia, what do you need?” he said softly. “Make love to me, just like you used to.” He’d been her only lover. She wanted to completely surrender to him and alleviate the pain and emptiness that threatened to drag her under. She needed… She wanted… Dean. She pulled her nightie over her head and tossed it across the room. In three long strides, he was next to her bed. Slipping between the sheets, leaving his boxers behind, he immediately drew her into his arms. She gasped at the fiery heat and exquisite joy of her naked skin against his. She nipped at his lips with her teeth. He groaned. Her hands explored and caressed the familiar contours of his muscled back. His sweet kisses kept coming. She murmured a low sound filled with desire, and he deepened the kiss, tasting her sweetness and passion as his tongue explored her mouth… ***

Finally Free: Book 1 Locked Up Lovers Series
The last thing Miranda thought when she responded to a prison pen pal request was to find true love. Joel, well, he was only hoping to pass time and maybe if he was lucky, he'd find someone to have a little fun with after doing ten years of hard time in the state penitentiary for a crime he committed when he had just barely turned eighteen years old. He had been hardened by the things he'd seen and the experiences of imprisonment and no longer believed in lovey dovey fairy tales or happily ever after. So hardened in fact, that he knew women only led to one thing-trouble. Not even a good girl like Miranda would break him ever again. Not with her long dark hair, those hypnotizing amber-eyes, and definitely not those full lips that would look so good…nope, nope, nope. What neither one expected was to find the perfect balance of emotional and physical attraction. Can Miranda's persistence and commitment soften and heal Joel's untrusting heart or will Joel break Miranda in ways she has never experienced before? This is the first book of three in the Locked-Up Lovers series. Enjoy!

He starts nibbling on my chest and starts pulling off my bra away from my chest. I couldn’t take it anymore, I push him away hard and scream loudly and fall off the couch and try to find my way towards the door. He laughs in a childlike manner and jumps on top of me and bites down on my shoulder blade. “Ahhh!! What are you doing! Get off me!!” I scream clawing on the wooden floor trying to get away from him.He sinks his teeth in me deeper and presses me down on the floor with all his body weight. Tears stream down my face while I groan in the excruciating pain that he is giving me. “Please I beg you, please stop.” I whisper closing my eyes slowly, stopping my struggle against him.He slowly lets me go and gets off me and sits in front of me. I close my eyes and feel his fingers dancing on my spine; he keeps running them back and forth humming a soft tune with his mouth. “What is your name pretty girl?” He slowly bounces his fingers on the soft skin of my thigh. “Isabelle.” I whisper softly.“I’m Daniel; I just wanted to play with you. Why would you hurt me, Isabelle?” He whispers my name coming closer to my ear.I could feel his hot breathe against my neck. A shiver runs down my spine when I feel him kiss my cheek and start to go down to my jaw while leaving small trails of wet kisses. “Please stop it; this is not playing, please.” I hold in my cries and try to push myself away from him.

Sequel of 'Set Me Free', hope everyone enjoys reading this book as much as they liked the previous one. “What is your name?” A deep voice of a man echoes throughout the poorly lit room. Daniel, who is cuffed to a white medical bed, can barely see anything. Small beads of sweat are pooling on his forehead due to the humidity and hot temperature of the room. His blurry vision keeps on roaming around the trying to find the one he has been looking for forever. Isabelle, the only reason he is holding on, all this pain he is enduring just so that he could see her once he gets out of this place. “What is your name?!” The man now loses his patience and brings up the electrodes his temples and gives him a shock. Daniel screams and throws his legs around and pulls on his wrists hard but it doesn’t work. The man keeps on holding the electrodes to his temples to make him suffer more and more importantly to damage his memories of her. But little did he know the only thing that is keeping Daniel alive is the hope of meeting Isabelle one day. “Do you know her?” The man holds up a photo of Isabelle in front of his face and stops the shocks. “Yes, she is my Isabelle.” A small smile appears on his lips while his eyes close shut.
