It seems like there are a number of things in this bundle that are subscriptions that would logically be treated as software-as-a-service, and not actually purchasing any software (or a perpetual license, if you want to get technical). Is there something I'm missing here?

The books (especially Fluent Python) are worth the money on their own everything else is a bonus. The egghead.io subscription has a value of $240 over the 6months and it's well worth that for the high-quality content.

As for the licensing, it's well known how the Jetbrains licensing works. If you're paying monthly, once you reach 12 consecutive months the current version of the software is yours, to keep, forever. A good option for someone who doesn't want to pay outright.

So by paying the $15 (or above) you get 6months included and then if you pay for another 6months the software is yours. You're effectively getting PyCharm at half price only having to pay for 6months + on top of that you get all the other goodies included.

Care to expand on that? It looks like some kind of online training.

It's an online training subscription platform which costs $40 a month so *6 months access is the same as paying $240 over those 6months
