Unfortunately I wouldn’t buy these given that it’s from Packt Publishing. I’ve bought quite a few of their books over the years and more often than not they’re either full of glaring writing errors that would have been caught if the book was looked at by an editor at all, the code examples have errors that require deep knowledge of said book topic to correct making it hard to progress, or the book doesn’t seem to follow a linear learning path making understanding what the author is trying to convey much harder.
Don’t get me wrong there are some good books from Packt, but they’re much rarer than say a book from O’Reilly or Manning. They seem to just churn out content and not have a rigorous editing process meaning that it’s mostly up to the author’s writing ability to create something useful.
I used to grab their free ebook of the day when they used to have that and more often than not I would delete or never finish the books because they were just so low quality.
I’ve skimmed these and I’m not convinced they’re worth the purchase. Every time there’s a Packt bundle it’s a mixed bag. I don’t think these are great for a beginner because of the usual Packt concerns and I don’t think they’re great for an expert because of the usual Packt concerns. For the midtier unless you need these right now and have no other resources, it’s a better bet to wait for a similar bundle, even in other languages, from Manning or O’Reilly.
All my homies hate Packt.
Seriously though, I bought one bundle of Packt books and they were some of the most poorly written books I have ever worked through. Not to mention as I got better at the subject, I frequently had to relearn things I “learned” from those books. If it was even correct, it was frequently a bad way of doing something.
Fanatical has a similar bundle that I decided not to buy, because Packt.

Rust has an official online book that literally has everything you’d ever need to know in it, read through it and you’re set.
Damn it. Another time I get tricked by the name of this language.
You were expecting a book bundle about mastering fungi in the order Pucciniales?
I was hoping for a riveting book about metal oxidation, tbh. Oh well, a man can dream.
Well, it’s not quite the metal you were thinking of, but here’s an older finnish metal band named RUST that can hopefully help until you find what you’re looking for.
