My Websites to buy Courses and Books on Software Development in Spanish and English

▶

Below, I present the main platforms I use to acquire courses and books on software development. Besides educational content, some also offer assets for video game development.

1. Own Platform: Desarrollo Libre Academia

Although I don't buy from myself, if you are looking for content in Spanish, my platform is the first place to consider.

Content: All the courses and books I generate are centralized in one place.

2. PacktPub: The Source of Content in English

This platform is one of my main sources for development resources.

• Content: It offers a great variety, with more than 8,000 titles, including books and courses (and generates new content monthly).
• Language: All content is in English, so knowledge of the language is necessary to take advantage of it.
• Prices and Offers: PacktPub is known for its offers, especially in December (approximately from December 15 to January 15), when they usually drop their prices to the minimum. Although years ago the prices were as low as $5 (or less if you bought bundles), they are still an excellent option for acquiring good content that is often not found elsewhere.

3. Bundle Platforms (Packages)

These websites focus on selling thematic bundles of software, games, assets, and books, usually at a heavily reduced price.

A. Humble Store

Mechanism: It specializes in the sale of thematic bundles. They frequently work with PacktPub to create development book packages.

• Example: You can get 17 items for $18, which reduces the price of each book to approximately $1.
• Themes: The bundles are thematic (e.g., Cybersecurity, Forensics, Node, Python, AI, etc.). If you are interested in a particular theme, it's a great opportunity to get material for the entire year at a minimum price.
• Other Resources: They also sell bundles of music, software, courses, and assets for video games (such as Unreal Engine).
• Language: All content is in English.

B. Fanatical

Similarity to Humble: It is very similar to Humble Store, offering sections for games, books, and software.

• Books: Their book section is more flexible, sometimes allowing you to buy individual titles within a pack or buy the complete package at a very low price (e.g., $23 for a complete bundle). Additionally, they often generate extra discount coupons.
• Courses: They often have course packages, working with websites like Zenva (I usually buy their tutorials this way).
• Resources for Video Games: Although they have assets, they tend to be more focused on sprites or images, and not so much on resources for Unity or Unreal.
• Language: All content is in English.

4. Udemy: Massive Courses in Spanish

This platform is a well-known resource, although as an instructor I have my conflicts with it.

• Content: It is a massive course website.
• Advantage: Along with my website, it's the only place where I usually buy content, as it makes it easy for me to acquire courses in Spanish.
• Prices: Courses generally have very accessible prices, around $10.
