Packt Publishing reaches 1000 IT titles and celebrates with an open invitation
Birmingham-based IT publisher Packt Publishing is about to publish its 1000th title. Packt books are
renowned among developers for being uniquely practical and focused. Packt books cover highly specific tools and technologies which IT professionals might not expect to see a high quality book on.
Packt would like you to join them in celebrating this milestone with a surprise gift – to get involved you just need to have already registered, or sign up for a free Packt account before 30 th September 2012.
Packt published their first book in April 2004. One of the most prolific and fastest growing tech book
publishers in the world, they now have books on everything from web development to web graphics, e-learning to e-commerce, IT architecture to games, and app development.
Packt supports many of the Open Source projects covered by its books through a project royalty
donation, which has contributed over £300,000 to Open Source projects up to now. As part of the
celebration Packt is allocating $30,000 to share between projects and authors in a genuinely unique
way, soon to be disclosed on their website.
Dave Maclean, founder of Packt Publishing explains, “At Packt we set out 8 years ago to bring practical, up to date and easy to use technical books to the specialist tools and technologies that had been largely overlooked by IT publishers. Today, I am really proud that with our authors and partners we have been able to make useful books available on over 1000 topics and make our contribution to the development community.”
