#Packt Gave me a great opportunity to revise my Modern Python Cookbook. After a lot of rewriting -- and ton of help from editors and technical reviewers -- I think the current edition has 130 or so useful recipes.

Chapters 7&8 focus on object-oriented programming. I'm looking forward to working on a new edition of Python 3 Object-Oriented Programming. This will let me dive deeper into this specific subject area.

Is it general knowledge in the #InfoSec community that publisher #Packt solicits fraudulent reviews to boost their products?
Usually they're better at feigning that they want "unbiased" reviews in exchange for free products, but not today. https://web.archive.org/web/20231007040533/https%3A%2F%2Fold.reddit.com%2Fr%2Fcybersecurity%2Fcomments%2F171tzby%2Fbook_reviewing_opportunity%2F
This isn't a one-off either - extensive history from other "DevRel Marketing Executives" on Reddit include guerrilla marketing from u/Namita_Packt & soliciting reviews from u/Ankur_Packt + u/Royreddituser3 + u/kunal_packtpub + etc.

Look what finally arrived!!! 🥳📚
I was already feeling a bit jealous; everyone already received their preordered copy, but my author copy was still missing until now 😄

@riley that's exactly the perception I have of them too. Though it's one thing to publish garbage, as, say, #Packt gleefully do; it's another to publish a fact-based book by an author who also believes six impossible things before breakfast. Aren't #Apress aware of the damage to their own credibility?

#Packt and @humblebundles for the win! This #netsec bundle is amazing!!!

The .NET Core Podcast is the premiere podcast for keeping up with all things .NET.
In 2022, the February episode that guest-starred me, Mark J. Price, was the #1 most listened to of the year via Spotify, with 728% more streams than the average episode.
A new episode was been published on Friday 5 March 2023.
👨💻 Jamie Taylor “GaProgMan” and I talk about my recent books, “C# 11 and .NET 7 - Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals”, and “Apps and Services with .NET 7”, and we discuss ChatGPT (which was brand new at the time of recording) and how other generative AIs will likely change the worlds of art, prose, and development.
Please give it a listen now on your favorite podcast player or at the following link:

In 2020 I wrote my #book about #multicloud. It’s still selling well, but the problem with writing about #cloud is that as soon the title gets released, you can already start working on updates. So I did. And the second edition will be out soon!

How are books by #PacktPublishing so consistently bad, awful, terrible?
It's as if they *want* to publish the most wrong information available on a given topic, and then break the typeset and sprinkle typos throughout
The lectures aren't better
I get access to the subscription offered by O'Reilly through work now, that includes #Packt Publishing stuff. Started a Packt course on #Rust and within 10 minutes, the lecturer already managed to completely murder the concept of a macro
