I have just got this announcement. Whoever reads this blog may be intrested in the offer, so I may as well spread the word (I have read a couple of Packt Publishing e-books on Moodle and can recommend them highly)
Packt
Publishing celebrates their 2000th title with an exclusive offer - We've got IT
covered!
Known for their extensive range of pragmatic IT
ebooks, Packt
Publishing are celebrating their 2000th book title `Learning Dart’– they want
their customers to celebrate too.
To mark this milestone Packt Publishing will launch a
‘Buy One Get One Free’ offer across all eBooks on March 18th – for a limited
period only.
`Learning Dart’ was selected as a title and published
by Packt earlier this year. As a project that aims to revolutionise a language
as crucial as JavaScript, Dart is a great example of an emerging technology
which aims to support the community and their requirement for constant
improvement. The content itself explains how to develop apps using Dart and
HTML5 in a model-driven and fast-paced approach, enabling developers to build
more complex and high-performing web apps.
David Maclean, Managing Director explains `It’s not by
chance that this book is our 2000th title. Our customers and community drive
demand and it is our job to ensure that whatever they’re working on, Packt
provides practical help and support.
At Packt we understand that sometimes our customers
want to learn a new programming language pretty much from scratch, with little
knowledge of similar language concepts. Other times our customers know a
related language fairly well and therefore want a fast-paced primer that brings
them up to a competent professional level quickly.
That’s what makes Packt different: all our books are
specifically commissioned by category experts, based on intensive research of
the technology and the key tasks.’
Since 2004, Packt Publishing has been providing
practical IT-related information that enables everyone to learn and develop
their IT knowledge, from novice to expert.
Packt is one of the most prolific and fast-growing
tech book publishers in the world. Originally focused on open source software,
Packt contributes back into the community paying a royalty on relevant books
directly to open source projects. These projects have received over $400,000 as
part of Packt’s Open Source Royalty Scheme to date.
Their books focus on practicality, recognising that
readers are ultimately concerned with getting the job done. Packt’s
digitally-focused business model allows them to quickly publish up-to-date
books in very specific areas across a range of key categories – web
development, game development, big data, application development, and more.
Their commitment to providing a comprehensive range of titles has seen Packt
publish 1054% more titles in 2013 than in 2006.
Erol Staveley, Publisher, says `Recent research shows
that 88% of our customers are very satisfied with the service knowing that we
offer a wide breadth of titles in a timely manner, and owing to the quality of
service that they receive 94% of customers are willing to recommend Packt to
friends and family. It’s great that we’ve hit such a significant milestone, and
we want to continue delivering this fantastic content to our customers.’
Here are some of the best titles across Packt's main
categories - but Buy One, Get One Free will apply across all 2000 titles:
