Books Section

    Like many other students, I had the Opportunity to download books from the net - all thanks to those people who fostered the idea of having books online.Thanks to these authors - many students who are in need of information have access to a virtual sea of guidance. Below are some of the books I had referred (Not written :). Search properly, and you will find more.
     I would like to add that the open source code movement (I am an ILUG-BOM member) has very greatly encouraged the idea of free S/W, free documentation.
