Summary

Book Publisher similar to O’reilly Media. While it has it’s gems I’m always a bit more apprehensive to recommend them for individual books, and it tends to be a gamble. I don’t know what the term for it is, but it feels like they’re close to being a vanity publishing house. In that people will basically write a book just for the resume boost, and Packt helps them accomplish that. I also think more publishers are drifting that way, though, as it’s just the nature of the business in the age of LLMs.

I would also note that It’s been awhile, but their online platform was pretty good the last time I used it (~2019?). They out-featured O’reilly at the time.
