A bit unrelated but who are the best publishers for technical books?
For me personally it seems pragprog.com usually has consistent quality, apress I’ve read good books but they seem a lot more hit or miss. I think Oreilly is also considered to be pretty good?
- pottertheotter 4y agoI think Manning has some great books.
- geerlingguy 4y agoO'Reilly is typically able to put out a solid book on a given topic. Some of the smaller publishers (Manning, apress, et all) can knock out a great book too, but quality can vary dramatically. Packt is really hit or miss, it seems like they have a book on everything, but the editorial standard isn't as high so some books are harder to get through. I've taken to buying more self-published books lately, as they're often getting more money to the authors pocket (way more), and I can often refer to the authors other work (blog, videos, trainings, etc.) to get an idea of what I'll be getting from the book.
- oxfeed65261 4y agoIt seems to me that most of the truly transformational technical books I’ve read have come from Addison-Wesley, an imprint of Pearson PLC.
