Programmers Rejoice: O’Reilly Announces Strategic Partnership With Microsoft Press

Posted on September 24, 2009 by Bruce Keener

I’ve been a fan of O’Reilly Media Publications for years, and continue to be. If you need to learn something about programming and/or web development, in my view the O’Reilly books are simply the best to be found. And, back when I attempted to do some Windows programming as a hobby, many years ago, I was huge fan of Microsoft Press books.

And now, surprisingly, Tim O’Reilly announces that O’Reilly Media and Microsoft Press have a strategic partnership. It’s good to see the Microsoft books come under the stewardship of O’Reilly, and I am especially pleased that Microsoft agreed to make Microsoft Press e-books DRM-free. That is huge!

Anyway, since several of you are into web development, I thought this would be of interest to you.
