#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.
https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Python-Cookbook-updated-techniques/dp/1835466389/ref=sr_1_1
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!!!
