On other Stack Exchange sites, requests for learning resources and books would be closed within minutes as off topic. Is this allowed here? Why?
I ask because this happened
This question has been asked before but the answer is not an answer to the question.
Regrettably, I think not.
Though information like this would certainly be useful for many users, a collection of answers that each say "I found this link useful when learning about designing menus. Hope you like it!" doesn't fit well in this format.
From the what-not-to-ask page:
You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site...
Perhaps if our chat wasn't entirely dead, I'd recommend directing people there to ask these questions...
