                @backstander I'm sad I missed the "WordPress 4.x Complete" book from a couple of days ago, but it was Saturday and I only check that site when I'm at work.

                  Hopefully you can catch it the next time it comes around!

                  but it was Saturday and I only check that site when I'm at work.

                  Same with me. I usually forget to check it over the weekend but for some reason I decided to check it today from home.

                          There should really be an email alert by then over their free learning books. :)

                          Thanks for the recommendation - I had registered on this site two weeks ago for the Pi projects for kids, but forget to check it every day.

                            @pjft It ticks over to the next book about an hour after I get to work, so I generally check it near the beginning of the 24 hour cycle, and if it's something I find interesting, or I think is even slightly relevant to this forum, I post the title. I only do it Mon-Fri, because I forget to check it when I'm not at work.

                              Today's ebook: "OpenCV Computer Vision with Python".

                              OpenCV is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library that provides a common infrastructure for computer vision applications. Today's free eBook has practical, project-based tutorials for Python developers and hobbyists who want to get started with computer vision with the OpenCV library and Python. If you have always wanted to learn which version of the Python bindings for OpenCV to use, how to integrate with cross-platform Kinect drivers, and how to efficiently process image data with NumPy and SciPy, then this book is for you!

                              I don't know what that is, but someone here might find it interesting.

                                Thanks! Should be good if you want to do something with a camera on the Pi, with Python!

                                  @mattrixk with a camera, OpenCV and proper coding skills you can, for example, make your pi automatically load Super Mario Bros. when you show your face with a big fake mustache to the camera. Or Legend of Zelda when you are wearing a green cap. :-)

                                    @meleu I missed last week's free eBook on "How to knit a green cap and play an ocarina like a pro".
