O'Reilly Media Announces Co-Publishing Agreement with Adobe SystemsAdobe Developer Library, O'Reilly-Branded Books Aimed at Growing Developer Market
Sebastopol, CA--O'Reilly Media Inc., today announced the Adobe Developer
Library, a new publishing imprint in partnership with Adobe Systems,
designed to meet the rising demand among developers for tools and
resources to help create the next generation of rich internet
applications. Adobe and O'Reilly have entered into an agreement to co-
publish and co-brand books and online learning resources for developers
creating applications with technologies such as Adobe Flex, ActionScript,
and Adobe Flash and Flash Video.
The Adobe Developer Library is the official source for comprehensive
learning solutions to help developers create expressive and interactive
web applications that can reach virtually anyone on any platform. With
top-notch books and innovative online resources covering the latest in
rich internet application development, the Adobe Developer Library offers
expert training and in-depth resources, straight from the source. The
first Adobe Developer Library books are expected to be published in late
2006.
O'Reilly Media CEO and Founder Tim O'Reilly expressed his optimism that
the agreement will spawn a raft of valuable resources for the two
companies' shared constituency.
"Adobe's products and vision play a large role in the technology
renaissance I've called Web 2.0, so I'm excited to be applying our
resources to the partnership, from our network of authors and technical
experts to our in-house organization of publishing, web-site development,
and conferences. It's a big win for everyone, from Java and .Net
developers to those already into Flash, Flex, Acrobat, and Adobe scripting
technologies. We're getting very creative about how we can structure and
deliver these learning resources. Our new publishing agreement with Adobe
opens many doors for both companies."
"This partnership makes sense for Adobe, O'Reilly, and developers using
Adobe tools and frameworks," said Tanya Wendling, Senior Director,
Learning Resources, Adobe. "O'Reilly is a highly respected and trusted
authority in the developer community, and Adobe is creating cutting-edge
technologies for developers. Together, we can connect developers to the
information they need most--whether it's in-depth books, vibrant online
communities, or digital articles and samples."
