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:
