Packt begins publishing Microsoft books

Hi all,

I like to review technical books, and I have reviewed plenty of them from Packt Publishing. Packt has always been a good provider of material on Open Source topics, but has recently branched out and is now offering Microsoft titles as well. Enclosed is a brief press release from the folks at Packt, for the benefit of MSFT readers.

Happy reading, and good luck in the Monday drawings!

On Monday the 24th January, 2011 Packt Publishing is issuing five brand new Microsoft Books on a range of different subject matters:

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 High Availability

  • Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.5

  • Microsoft Forefront UAG 2010 Administrator's Handbook

  • Dynamics AX 2009 Administration

  • Microsoft Dynamics Sure Step 2010

  • (Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Administration Cookbook)

With five Microsoft books published at the end of 2010, the publication of a further five new books all on one day reiterates Packt’s commitment to producing specialist Microsoft book titles, and signifies their position as a top Microsoft publisher. James Lumsden, the Packt Enterprise Publisher states that “serving the needs of Microsoft professionals is one of our top priorities at Packt, and 2011 promises to be a bumper year. What better way to kick off the New Year than with five exciting new titles on Microsoft Monday! As always we want to do our utmost to serve you, the reader, so please email us if you have book ideas, general suggestions, or if you just want to offer some feedback. Have a great 2011”.

To mark this milestone Packt is also offering a 25% discount when you purchase two or more Microsoft books throughout January. And will be running a competition throughout January offering customers the opportunity to win a free 1 year’s subscription to PacktLib every Monday throughout January.
