Anyone in our line of business knows that the world of technology changes almost faster than we can keep up. This was one of the reasons we decided to produce the Succinctly series of e-books—so that the technology you were slogging through a $200, 500-page textbook to learn didn’t change before you finished the book. Another reason we produce the Succinctly series is so that you don’t have to slog through a $200, 500-page textbook for any technology.
While some of our early e-books may be out of date or mostly obsolete by now, we’d like to introduce you to a few of them that we consider classics. Check out the top 10 timeless e-books in the Succinctly series that readers have found steadily useful:
