O’Reilly Titles on Inkling [Sponsor]

October 1st, 2012

Big thanks to Inkling for sponsoring this week’s RSS feed. I’ve used their textbooks for school in the past, and they are absolutely fantastic. First, they provide an excellent reading experience—something kind of important for textbooks. On top of that, they take advantage of digital to make their books a very effective way to learn.

Highlighting text and making bookmarks is incredibly easy, and it keeps all of your highlights in one place, so you’re effectively building a list of key sections as you go, which is really useful when you need to find something later. Inkling’s O’Reilly programming titles go even farther, though—you can program right in the textbook. Think about learning a new concept and immediately being able to try it out yourself.

I love what Inkling is doing because they’re turning the textbook into a much more powerful way to learn than text on a page. Take a look at what they’re doing, and if you’re interested in learning to program, try one of their books. I think you’ll quite like it.

Information design and data visualization is a fast-growing field, and charting new territory requires cross-disciplinary know-how. To that end, O’Reilly Media and Inkling have teamed up to reimagine the world’s most trusted design and technological resources for iPad, iPhone, and the web. Now, you can learn from a book as innovative as the practices it describes.

From interactive diagrams to embedded coding sandboxes, notes with web links, and more, select design and tech titles in O’Reilly’s library are amplified with Inkling-only features not found in any other e-book version. For example, tap on Hot Spots in a complex diagram to delve into deeper layers of that figure, zooming in closer as you go.

Budding designers and tech enthusiasts alike now have some of the world’s best design and tech resources right at their fingertips. Learn more and shop for books.
