;){kind=link}
The pdf file is 365MB. Are you shure you want this file only? I can upload.
Is there another torrent? This one is crappy :/ redirects to sitethat requires registration which are closed :/
Is Awesome. Thanks
Just the ebook alone might be huge but the book is huge in reality. If you seperate the content that comes with it then people who use the book will not have the associated files to do the tutorials.
I myself would keep this post intact, it would make things more helpful especially for the beginner.
please another torrent link
I found another torrent link ;)
