In the coming months, you will see a number of changes to Packt's Article Network. We have spent time recently surveying customers and article readers, and are looking to improve Packt's content-reading experience off the back of this, both in terms of what is produced, and how it is distributed. Some of these changes will be coming soon, and some will be implemented across a longer period.
The first change, which you will see going live this week, is that we will be asking frequent readers of our content to create an account on www.PacktPub.com if they don’t already have one. In the future, we are aiming to broaden our two-way communication with customers, allowing us to publish more of what you want to see. Much of this communication will come through customer accounts, and as such we see our article readers holding accounts as key to this improved communication.
In addition to opening up communication with our customers, Packt account holders also receive the following benefits:
• Free access to nine books on PacktLib
• Nine books available to download for free from your account
• Access to all articles on www.PacktPub.com/Article-Network
• Sign up to our newsletter, and receive news and offers twice a month
