I have bought a previous zenva bundle of humblebundle and the quality of the courses back then was quite poor.

The presenter either mumbled through the video course (with the subtitles/captions not helping at all as they only displayed "mumbles") or using code that is dependent on functions introduced in later "chapters". So running the code as instructed creates errors that your never sure if it's because of you making a mistake or because of the above.

That was my experience a few years back so it might have improved by now (hopefully).

IMO quality courses wouldn't cost 0.62 euros each.

Wow, those definitly look like "$50 msrp" courses

If you want some "other options" which might help more:

They aren't books at all

Zenva is notoriously shit my guy. $16 is wasted here, library genesis is the better option.

If you want to donate money then do it directly. More will go to the causes you care about and you won't be part of Zenvas charitable tax break

My guy, those aren't books that are being linked to. Their value may be shit, but they aren't books

Humble bundles for learning materials tend to be really poor. I've tried buying a programming bundle before and it was definitely worse than a lot of other free/accessible coding resources on the internet. Some may be tempted with the low prices but if someone wants a paid course there are more reputable resources that aren't part of the bargain bin bundles that humble bundle offers.

Of course, this is just my experience.
