Safari Books requires a subscription, however if you are currently employed for the DOD in some way and hold a .mil address you are eligible to sign up.

The best learning materials from experts in their fields
In 2001, two of the world’s most prominent technology publishers, O’Reilly Media and The Pearson Technology Group, joined forces to create Safari Books Online. The premise was simple: make the best technology books and videos from leading authors and publishers available to professionals at any stage of their career.
