Packt Publishing

Packt is a modern publishing company formed in 2004 and with a focus on producing specialised IT books, concentrating mainly on customisable software. The company’s innovative business model allows it to publish highly focused and sometimes niche books, giving readers more detailed information about the software and technologies they’re using.

This approach gives Packt the opportunity to publish on subjects that have little or no documentation and subjects that traditional publishers regard as too narrow.

The company’s experienced and skilled in-house editorial and production teams work closely with its authors to produce books on an ambitiously short time-scale. This ensures Packt is quick to market with books on important and nascent technologies.

With an initial focus on publishing books on Open Source subjects, Packt made the bold step of establishing its Open Source Project Royalty scheme. This scheme allocates a percentage of every Open Source book that Packt sells direct to the Open Source project that the book was written on. Therefore, for every Open Source book sold or downloaded, Packt will have given some of the money received to the Open Source project.

jQuery Enlightenment

jQuery Enlightenment is a self-published book from author Cody Lindley.
