Pretty amazing selection in here! I’ve read Programming Phoenix and Programming Ecto which were both fantastic, and have a few of these on my list to read next.
Thanks for the heads up! Bought it for the few books I don’t have as it seems like a great deal even for just those. Anyone else having a hard time downloading the books though?
Enough here that I had my eye on anyways that I grabbed the lot. Thanks for posting about it! I don’t I would have noticed otherwise. And thank you to @pragprog for making this available.
I sent a message to the Humble team reporting the issues. I hope they get it fixed quickly!
Update from Humble:
“Yes, I’m having the same issue. It most likely requires a very small fix on our end, which the bundle ops team can tackle first thing tomorrow. If you’re responding to your users, please let them know we’ll address as soon as we return to the virtual office in the morning. Thanks”
Are authors getting their share of the profit? I know authors often get paid only a small percentage of the total cost. It would be sad to know the authors are giving up their share without notice. Unless they agreed to do this for charity too.
Given they mentioned “first thing tomorrow” and both humble bundle as well as pragprog being US entities I’d suggest waiting a few more hours. It’s still night time/early morning over there.
I’m getting the same error for all of the books in the bundle. I created a ticket (i.e. “request”), but they say that they have an average 10 day wait. I guess we’ll see…

This sale supports our authors as well as Active Minds, yes. So please help spread the word.
Right now, the download issue is a tiny bit of a disaster. I’ve been awake now for about 30 minutes replying to tweets, posts, and emails and I’m worried if I take the time to grab a shower, I’ll never catch up with putting out the fires.
Humble wrote last night saying, “If you’re responding to your users, please let them know we’ll address as soon as we return to the virtual office in the morning. Thanks.” Right now it’s just past 7:30AM Pacific
