Apress Technical Books The quality of the books provided by Apress is incredible. Most books come with repositories on GitHub which makes learning interactive and fun. If you prefer a good read over online video tutorials, I couldn't recommend any books other than Apress. You won't regret it!

Worst support experience in recent memory Took 5 months to deliver my order - it was one of those 'print as needed' things so I knew it would be long. Apparently there was also an issue with the print once they. All that would be fine, but once they actually started to ship the replacements, they also tried to charge me for them. I sent out 20ish email to support, where different people answered in various confusing ways until it was finally resolved to be their mistake rather than mine. I definitely felt like none of the agents bothered to read the support history in the ticket at any point the 'help' I was getting was never what was needed, or they were making a point that had been established earlier. Will never order from here again knowing that in case of problems, you'll be SOL.

An excellent source of knowledge An excellent source of knowledge! There is an exceptional selection of current topic software titles for me to choose from. The authors/editing are very good in their ability to convey complex subjects! I cannot say enough good about apress.com!

Avoid vendor lock-in with Apress PDF books Apress is the best place to buy computer programming ebooks because they are available in PDF format that can be viewed on any device. I recently wanted to clear my purchase history on Amazon and my only option was to delete my Amazon account and make a new one. I lost several books in the process. Now I try to buy only PDF books exclusively. Apress also has a wide selection of books on almost any programming topic. I have found them to be very informative.

Something not quite right I've purchased books from a lot of sites, and many times from APress, but there was a book that I had in my cart, and every time I tried to buy it it said I couldn't, no explanation, it was in my cart, but then bounced out at the point where I wanted to complete the purchase. I managed to buy another book, so it wasn't the site having issues (broadly).
