Wrox lives

I met with Joe Wikert, the publisher of Wrox yesterday. Wiley purchased the Wrox name and some of the Wrox titles last year. Wrox is relaunching in June. They have new versions of some existing books coming out and they are planning a series of Whidbey and Yukon books, starting with Beta. Their Web site is fairly active, especially the P2P (Programmer to Programmer) section. It's great to see these guys are not only still around, but with good plans for the future.

While I do think that the majority of the Wrox books were good, when it came to their .NET titles, I (as well as many others) found them to be sorely lacking.

I hope that isn't the case here.

Robert: Joe and I had a great time seeing you and some of the other Whidbey people. Since you mentioned the Programmer to Programmer section, I'll post the URL for anyone looking: p2p.wrox.com. Enjoy!
