Every year Microsoft organises a whole lot of technical ebooks that can be downloaded for free.

This years can be found here

Note that these are not MS owned books and are provided by their authors/owners so availability may be removed or limited.

These either can be downloaded individually or there is a script provided to use in PowerShell to get them all (about 3.5Gb).

If you need help with PowerShell let me know and I can post a how to.

This is incredible...

To do the Powershell download simply save this Powershell Script somewhere you can find it and open it with the Powershell ISE. Run the script and you're set.

Thanks guys! Script running now.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

I've found 3 cant be found but I'm not a powershell guru.
Doesn't say which 3 - someone on GZ may be able to determine what they are. They may no longer be available by the author. Or the number of request could be overloading its availablity

the 2016 ebooks seems to be still available and may still be able to be downloaded.
I haven't done a comparison so some of the 2017 ebooks my be completely different or updates to 2016 versions but probably still worth checking out

2015 ebooks no longer seem available
