With the start of August, we’re thinking about back-to-school at Hectic Manor. That gets me in the mood to start learning some new things, and this year I’m thinking about learning some new programming tricks. With the introduction of Apple’s Swift programming language I’ve become very interested in adding to my skill set. It’s never too late to learn something new. With that in mind, here are a dozen books that will help you learn to program, create more complex spreadsheets, and even a book to hone the kids’ math skills before school resumes.<\/p>\n

Please note, these books were free at the time of this post, but Amazon can change their prices at any time. Please be sure to verify the cost of the books before you buy so you don’t get hit with sticker shock.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"While I use the free Kindle e-reader software on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone (dang, I sound like an Apple commercial!), half the members of the Hectic Household have Kindles. We have regular discussion over which platform is better and why. I can truly say that the Kindle owners love their devices. If you\u2019re looking to buy a Kindle, there are some great\u00a0deals on Kindle E-readers<\/a>\"\"\u00a0at Amazon right now!<\/p>\n

Please also note that this post contains\u00a0affiliate links<\/a>. We don\u2019t get much of a commission when you buy things through our link, but we get a little bit. You don\u2019t pay any more, but Amazon shares a bit of their profit with us. Every little bit helps to fund the Hectic online ventures. We appreciate you using the links, we really do!<\/p>\n
