They used to be my go to. I have Unix Power Tools/ mastering regular expressions still looking down on me.
But they really really pushed the safari subscription and stopped selling dam free e-books. Safari is probably great, but when I tried it I found it clunky and kinda a pain. Being able to search through your books is great. I had bought probably like 20 ebooks from them when they were still selling them.
I imagine that tech books don't sell in huge volumes. So the pay isn't great so its probably hard to get people to write them, as its more of a labor of love than a profit making endeavor. With online resources they're probably selling fewer books as well.
Manning is quite decent I'll agree.
