Free Ajax in Action ebook and others ebooks

I found this link today which said free ebooks. I'm a big fan of the free stuff so I had a peek. I think this link to free ebooks has been sent round before but I thought I would just highlight the fact that it has a free Ajax book which looks pretty good.

I'm not sure if I am being a bit picky and you sometimes get what you pay for but a lot of the books are links to web pages and not downloadable ebooks. On the other side they are proper books in a lot of cases and they are free, so you can't really complain that much (although I will still try)

There were a couple of decent free eBooks, well ones which I thought might be interesting.

here is a link to all of them to all the programming books and from here you can navigate to Java books.

of particular interest to me was the Ajax in Action ebook, which can be found here

There was also the Java Cookbook somewhere and Bitter Java

I have read bits and pieces and quotes from bitter java, it's an interesting book in it's idea because it's basically talking about things that don't work and antipatterns so that you the reader don't make those mistakes.
