- Both O'Reilly and Packt have online learning platforms, but which is best. Here are my thoughts.

Also our name is pronounced "Packed" not "Packet". It comes from the Radiohead track which I was listening to when we started the company.....
Hey guys, really proud of the fact you're all up the road from me!
Cool story, but you can't blame people for assuming it is "Packet."
When you drop the vowel you leave it open to interpretation. I thought it was 'Packet', too.
Thank you for stating this here. I will now pronounce it right.
BS
I just discovered your channel. I'm a computer engineer and i'm trying to learn english. I think i just found gold contents!
O'Reilly have point over pact in terms of how interactively the book is written and how clearly is code is presented.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I've been using Packet for such some time and I'm very satisfied.
Glad to see you are back again finally. I was afraid that something had happened to you.
I haven't tried the Learning Platform, but regarding their books , both are one of the best publishers in the field of Data Science, add manning publishing books as well :)
O'Reilly... If you get subscription as an employee of any corporate, you are lucky... You would find videos accompanying O'Reilly books... Best quality books... You cannot afford to buy all the books as these gets revised not subject wise but when subject is implemented using tools/codes like python or any libraries you use.O'Reilly is miles ahead in terms of content and helps in assimilation of the complexities of data science or machine learning..
Very useful comparison, thank you sir
Not sure how to reach out to you, so leaving this comment here. Considering how good a teacher you are, wish you could do a video on how to take notes when taking a course on Machine Learning/Deep Learning.
Start vim and use vimgrep
Your review and reasoning in the comparison is very valuable to me. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip 👍
I really like that Packt publish is just up the road from me!
I agree on everything, I recently get a Packt subscription and I love it, you get a DRM Free book every month, if you read with the app you also get free books and for just $5 you can get any book DRM Free, which I like because I have a kindle, other thing I love about Pack it’s that you get very specific topic books like Functional Programming with Python or Projects with Rust, books that other publisher wouldn’t publish, for the price of Oreilley I decided to get one physical book every month which it’s the same price as the subscription. And I get the physical experience on those.
Thanks for best suggestions
The problem with buying books is that after expend 50€ on one, you realize that it does not worth it and you need to buy another one.
i agree with you that O'Riley did have good content but it's too expensive for monthly fees. I can t finish a title within one month. thanks for your good clip ❤️❤️❤️
Canadian here it's very frustrating to have to calculate taxes before going to the register businesses here fought against including taxes in pricing presumably so things would look cheaper
I learned the after tax thing after getting in the US.
can you give some advice on how to find those "gems" in Packt and avoid the poor quality books (my general experience with Packt)?
it was really helpful!
When I first started building my library (of physical books), I ordered a lot of Packt books. Oh my how I regret it. They really were horrible quality. So up until now, I've just assumed that anyone can publish anything at Packt, so I wouldn't order any other Packt books since then. This is a few years ago now. Interesting to hear your opinion that they are getting better. Perhaps I'll try them again some time.
Anyway, No Starch is my definite favourite. O'Reilly is a good second.
Thanks for sharing, mate. Didn't know about No Starch.
@@notjpengineer
Bro if No Starch press had as much range of books as O'Reilly, then it would definitely be my all in one publisher.
I can say for free that No Starch books are more easier to understand than O'Reilly.
Another publisher I would recommend is Pearson
I have very good deal at orelly at black frieday for 50% of and also some additional difference because choice of different currency.
I also notice quality differences I don't know if it only Packet or from different publishers too.
Personally I like orelly a lot but hard part it's to remember currently the note lives as screenshot on my iPad or highlight on orelly.
Where my most current liked pdf reader (mindview) already helps my to return to remember, makes my orelly much harder to remember.
I bought a $200 for the year of Oreilly, and I'm happy with it. Why pay monthly? Wait for a discount (black Friday etc.) and buy a year subscription.
But their platform and App are far from ideal, while this is an IT learning platform... A bit ridiculous.
I have done several rounds with packt. I started with them because I noticed that most of the books I was buying were from them. Also If I bought the year subscription it was cheaper than buying 12 books. That said I have found that their site is not very good, but the content I have found to be good overall. I have found good video training and good books on topics I care about (mainly new software development technologies). And I can walk away with 12 or more tokens -> each will give me a video or book that I can keep (but warning, make sure you download) any purchases -> have have lost some of mine due to mishaps with hard drives and had not worried so much because I though I could re-download them. But after so long they discontinue some of them. A discontinued title will only show up as discontinued and can't be re-downloaded. But I am once again looking at other online services because I have had many announces with the packt site and apps. Other sites and apps seem much better. I haven't recently tried oreily - which lead me here.
You are 100 percent right about paying taxes on oriely platform, it is ridiculous and an embarrasment.
Thank You Sir for letting us know. Love from INDIA !!!
45 is price of 3 udemy video course....
Subscription, to read into any of the books, when you need only parts from them, I guess that's the usecase when you are good with that. No regret about buying a bad book.
Unfortunatly the unique way to see the o'reilly courses and live sessions is paying subscription. Here in Argentina it so expensive so Im considering what to do
I'm a happy Packt subscriber and computing noob. Beginning at 2:35 in the video you mention a machine learning book available from Packt. Do you recall the author and title? Thanks!
Has to be either Python Machine Learning by Sebastian Raschka or Machine Learning with R by Brett Lantz, both are good books
I noticied Maxwell Ecuations on the background 🙌🏻
@Successful everyone should be excited.
I tried O'reilly, so I would like to be honest, $49 monthly compared to that huge informative content and clear methodology and organized learning path is a wise choice.
can you please develop your comment, i'm interested in the methology, thanks!!
I like the Maxwell equations in the background :-)
What do you think about Apress?
Just make yourself an associate of ACM. Pay $98 per year and have access to o’Reilly. In europe, it’s even cheaper (obviously, because of the conversion). I paid like €85.
You just don’t have access to the interactive learning (the sandboxes)
Why do you have Maxwell's equations on your whiteboard though
best advice at least for beginners/intermediate coders and data scientists, take a subscription to Packt> taking advantage of claiming 1 book or video free per month, and buy key materials from O'Reilly
What do you think about pirple platform ?
This is a max- (very) -well video ;-)
I'm late to this party. To me, O'Reilly is the better value proposition for me for the following reasons:
1) I will never buy the books, I don't care about hard copies
2) I have no interest in the soft copies (pdfs) because when the content is accessible online or with a local download in an app that suits my needs and becomes "always available" anyway. So that neutralises getting the Packt subscription for the monthly pdf credits.
3) All of Packt content is in O'Reilly, or so it seems... and then more..
4) Perhaps this is my main point - I don't ever read 1 book at a time. I find that I refer to multiple books, sometime 4 or 5 different books at a time, because they all present information in different ways and I find that reinforcement from multiple sources a lot easier to grasp. With that, I find O'Reilly books in general to have the better quality too, and it includes what Packt has to offer, so for me the O'Reilly subscription is a no-brainer.
I get full access to oreilly for free from my library.
Pretty sweet, but also disappointed I paid for it for 18 months before I found out…
Can you provide more information on your access? Is it the same for all local public libraries or is yours unique?
So O'reilly charges one hard-copy of their books a month? :-/
Manning Publications is another option.
Why the Maxwell Equation in the background? :D :D :D :D
Having the possibility to get one ebook monthly with packt is priceless. If you just read books or watch videos on Computer Science essentially, you can stick with packt only. But if you need books, videos, live training on other fields like finance, management or soft skills you should subscribe to O’Reilly. Packt is IT oriented and is much more cheaper.
One of my friends is publishing through Packt in 2024, so I'm a bit biased. I'll prefer Packt in general and glaad the price is better than O'Reilly.
I have a one year subscription to O’Reilly and Packt and I’m into IT Security. I like Packt much more because not only do you get the monthly free book but you also have the option of buying ALL their ebooks and video courses for $5 each. Those options are not available on O’Reilly. To my knowledge, you don’t get a better deal with buying books, I don’t believe you can even buy the ebooks there, you have to resort to Amazon and the likes.
This month i acquired packtpub suscription just for 10 USD monthly.
Don’t blame O’reilly for the tax. In the USA there are state and local taxes that are NOT set by the Federal government. It’s easier for businesses to show the tax at the point of sale rather than in the bundled into the price.
I pay 3000 inr per year that is 40 dollar per year for packt
Used to work at Packt and man it pains me every time someone pronounces it Packet.
hahaha
Packet
I'll take pack vs Oreilly which is confusing
Maxwell Equations at Back? 😀
flexin' some physics😅
o rielly
49$ a month... Let's say I read one book a month... I think it is better just to buy the book from amazon. Cheaper. Let's be realistic. Reading is not a competition. It can take more than a month to read, and truly understand such thick books with complex topics.
why is packt so much cheaper its 4 times cheaper monthly
Packt is horrible because there's no one on one correspondence or query solving, O'Reilly is the same.
I stick to other freeware instead.
Hi, please share your concern with me at sureshj at packt dot com and I'll be sure to get back to you.
Libgen > O’Riley > Manning > Packt
Only Illuminati Use libgen.... ;)
@@neelchaudhary6177 HAHAHa
No one can beat libgen
What's this guy's problem?

omg congratulations!!!! YOU ARE SO LUCKY!
Put it in your resume
Anyways it's a great achievement!!!!!!
Congrats
Bbhhhhhhh
You got all ebooks for free online anyways. Why pay for anything? Even these books are available for free somewhere or another
PIRACY ALERT!
I don't like piracy.
Yes I got all books for free
@@Wolfthewarrior92 piracy is good
People like you will cause the demise of the internet.
Adblockers killed the free internet anyway.
I think Torrent is the best
Navneet publications > O'Reilly and Packt combined
it was really helpful!
