          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. :-)

                                @backstander They've also changed the layout a little. They no longer have a list of the books you've missed, but instead have a bunch of "forever free" books for web development and applications.

                                            @backstander Interesting. I'm seeing "Machine Learning with R", must have missed that.
