n Brown: As authors, many of us are now in the situation
where our work may never be published, or at least published in the
form that we expected. Of course this isn't good, but don't forget
about those staff at Wrox that have lost their jobs - they are in a
much worse position than ourselves. I wish them all the luck for
future.
"Wrox Going Under" Rumours
"Wrox Going Under" Rumours
03/16/2003 06:04 AMThe Web is full of rumours that the parent company of Wrox, Peer
Information, is going (or already gone) under. This email seems most
credible so far (from Sterling Huges' weblog). If this proves to be
true it will be a huge blow to PHP.
Long live WROX.
Long live WROX.

about the demise of
WROX Press. This
is sad news, but I'm not giving up on
Professional JSP
2.0 yet. There is still some small chance that another publisher
will pick up the book or that the authors will band together to
publish the book. Hopefully, I'll know the fate of my chapters
(
Data Access with JDBC and
Performance and Debugging) in
the next couple of weeks.

Community News: The Demise of Wrox?
03/19/2003 10:24 PMOf course, one of the largest stories to break lately is the apparent
"going under" of the
Wrox Publishing
company. Right now, a lot of what's been going around is rumor,
but I personally (since the book I wrote is now in print), have a
stake in all of this.

02/07/2003 09:40 AMInterview with Dilip Thomas of WROX about PHP
Ivan, of the new PHP Traveller blog, just published a good interview
about WROX's direction with their PHP books:
Q: You seem to have been very busy publishing PHP books. Are there any
other books about PHP in the works?
Dilip Thomas: There are *many* more PHP books in the pipeline. We have
a solid commitment to publishing the best PHP books, and that too on
diverse topics. In my opinion, Wrox == PHP in the same sense as ORA ==
PERL. The next best PHP book to look out for is the "PHP MySQL Website
Programming - Problem Design Solutions", that is slated to release in
March '03 - It dissects the creation of a complete application driven
website (using PHP/MySQL/Apache) from design to deployment (using the
very popular Problem - Design - Solution approach).
Q: What will "PHP Web Graphics Handbook" and "PHP String Handbook" be
about?
Dilip Thomas: Wrox Handbook's are new way of providing in-depth
information on a specific task of a technology, by documenting the
options, problems, best practices (to circumvent the problems) in that
particular domain. It endeavours to be a reference for life and
transgresses the rather shallow task-specific coverage that specific
tasks are accorded to, in our Professional books. The "PHP Web
Graphics Handbook" (scheduled for March '03) is an extension of the
"Professional PHP Multimedia Programming" book that was released in
September '02. It will show readers how to write PHP code that will
create professional-looking web graphics and images "on the fly"
(using GD, IM, netpbm, JpGraph etc).
The "PHP String Handbook" will take a close look at text manipulation,
and use of regular expressions in PHP. It will also cover advanced
Regexes and patterns. [_Go_]
Nice job. Thanks man. If I get a copy of these books from WROX, I'll
publish a review. And WROX also now has WROXBASE, an equivalent to
O'Reilly's Safari as best I can tell.

02/06/2003 06:16 PMLike many others, I noticed a series of PHP related books published by
Wrox in 2002. Curious about what will happen next I got in touch with
people from Wrox to ask them about their strategy.

I ranted last July? about how book publishers don't organize book
source code well. In particular I vented about the PHP Cookbook
(Sams) where the code doesn't even seem to be online. Then yesterday
I saw the WROX site and they do it beautifully -- just one simple list
with links to every book's code. Very cool. Well done. [_Go_]
