Download em all

I've been a big user of Firefox for several years now. I know, there's been big news lately that it's got the most security holes of any browser. Well, that is really because the Firefox people actually post every threat and security hole that they have. Think of it this way, if you were to buy a safe, would you buy the one that is constantly updating their "safe technology" every time they find something that someone could curcomvent? Now, I'm not saying that other browsers don't plug security holes, but they also don't publish every single one that they find.

But that's the long way of getting to this topic. I found my self in the past few weeks wanting to learn some more about programming and I found an awesome website "learncpp.com." It's basically the C++ learning books (and then some) that cost 49.95 online for free. I love it but didn't want to log onto the internet everytime I wanted to read something from it. Plus, we never know how long these sites are going to last for anyway.

Along comes the "Download em all" add in for firefox. The thing is great. I can download everyting from the site with just a click of a couple buttons. The site was set up in main chapters and sub-sections. Each time you wanted to view another subsection, you would click on "next" and it brings you to the next page.

Well, download em all is able to download all those "next" pages into saved html pages on your computer. Really cool.

If you ever find yourself needing to download a bunch of stuff from the same site, you should check it out.
