best-selling coding books
San Francisco (September 28, 2020)—No Starch Press, one of the world’s most highly-regarded tech book publishers, is partnering with Humble Bundle for the next two weeks to offer a curated selection of coding titles at a special discount, while contributing to a worthy cause.

This Humble Bundle book deal benefits the United Negro College Fund and the No Starch Press Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit created to support the worldwide hacker communities. This is the first time the company has partnered with UNCF for a Humble Bundle, and they are thrilled to be able to support this organization's vital work of providing scholarships to minority students and building a nationwide project to develop diverse STEM professionals.
