$49/mo isn't cheap though, you can buy an awful lot of books for that money directly.


$99/year via an ACM subscription [1]. And you get the printed copies of ACM magazines shipped to you every month.

Is it still worth to get it from ACM? I remember that they have recently restricted a bunch of sfuff on the ACM subscription. Examples: live online trainings, katacoda, notebooks, sandboxes and certifications.

To some of us, we don't learn very well from those things. Books tend to have a higher knowledge value and other advantages. For a discount, I'd be willing to give those things up, assuming I wasn't already getting access to Safari through work and didn't already have a reading list of purchased books a mile long.


Good question; I'm not sure. I only use books and rarely some video trainings. I just tried katacoda and, as expected, it doesn't work.

That makes sense; ultimately there's a reason why Safari subscription costs $49/month.


Some local libraries have Safari available for free to patrons.
