I have written three books for Packt Publishing over the past five years (Learning Spring Boot being the latest). They have supported me well. Many of you are aware of DRM (Digital Rights Management). That is coder speak for “wrapping content you bought with controls left in the hands of supplies”. I don’t dig DRM. I cheered it when free market competition brought out DRM-free music from certain vendors.

I believe in paying for content to support creators, but also having the freedom to put content I purchased on any of my devices. It’s another reason I like Packt. Their e-books have been DRM-free since Day 1 (2004). That is über cool.

Whereas I would leap for joy if you bought a copy of my book, I sincerely ask that you search their vast list of titles and pick out something you enjoy.

Happy reading!2015 Banner
