[Eclipse]

Recently, with the help of @phyrrus9, I managed to finally give some old hardware some life by installing Arch. Since I can't really be asked finding and installing the right GPU driver from the AUR, I've kept it as-is: without a GUI. Now, I wanted to use it to learn C and brush up on some other shit, and as CLI browsers aren't the best, I took some time to compile this amazing book into a printable PDF file. I'll append code snippets etc at the end.

(I used bitly simply for analytical purposes.)

Spoiler: How It Was Done

Code:

links = [] import pprint for x in range(53): link = 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex' + str(x) + '.html' links.append(link.strip()) pprint.pprint(links)

Code:

import pdfcrowd pages = ['http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/preface.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/introduction.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex0.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex1.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex2.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex3.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex4.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex5.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex6.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex7.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex8.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex9.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex10.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex11.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex12.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex13.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex14.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex15.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex16.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex17.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex18.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex19.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex20.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex21.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex22.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex23.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex24.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex25.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex26.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex27.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex28.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex29.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex30.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex31.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex32.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex33.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex34.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex35.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex36.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex37.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex38.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex39.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex40.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex41.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex42.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex43.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex44.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex45.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex46.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex47.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex48.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex49.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex50.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex51.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex52.html', 'http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/krcritique.html'] try: #get login by registering here: https://pdfcrowd.com/ #yeah there's probs a better way of doing it but meh client = pdfcrowd.Client("username", "apikey") for page in pages: title = page.split('/book/')[1].split('.')[0] client.convertURI(page, open(title + '.pdf', 'wb')) except pdfcrowd.Error, why: print 'Failed:', why

And then I compiled the resulting files into one using Adobe Acrobat.
