What customers are saying about Safari Books Online
We looked at other online learning resources, but there was really no comparison to Safari Books Online, in terms of cost and content. With Safari Books Online, we get over 20,000 books and videos with new titles added all of the time. Plus, our Safari Books Online sales representative was incredibly helpful and responsive to our needs and that helped us decide which provider to use.
I'm an American living and working in Switzerland, and I use Safari a lot to help me in my daily job building web sites and search. My colleagues and I here are thrilled to hear that we can get access to German titles. When work on a project together, I can now recommend a chapter for a book in English which they can then read in German, and that makes my job a whole lot easier. Thanks!
I’ve been a user of Safari Books Online for nearly 10 years and have watched how it has grown and gotten better all the time. Recently this “inbound” growth (in terms of size of the library and broadband of services) has been joined by an “outbound” growth that makes us German readers very happy: the German library. It’s great to know that SBO is willing to give us readers access to computing books natively written in non-English languages.
The IT job market requires a commitment to learning new and evolving technologies. Safari Books Online gives me the best value for access to the kind of vital technical information that allows me to keep a highly marketable skillset.
I studied 'Wirtschaftsinformatik' in Germany and now live and work in Canada. I am very excited to see the addition of German resources on Safari Books Online. - Thanks so much!
What customers are saying about Creative Edge
Creative Edge is fantastic! I use it frequently to learn new technical concepts and programs that help me to advance my knowledge and support my professional expertise. The small monthly fee, which is non-binding, is highly affordable. I highly recommend Creative Edge to any Creative Professional who needs a little or a lot of help, whether you want to advance your creative career or would like to enter the field as a beginner. In a few days I learned how to update and manage a Dreamweaver-developed Web site for a non-profit organization which had been unable to update their site in over a year. I COULD NEVER HAVE COME UP TO SPEED THAT QUICKLY WITHOUT THE VIDEOS AND BOOKS AVAILABLE AT CREATIVE EDGE!
In this ever changing world of technology and the commercial arts, it’s often hard to keep up with knowledge and training to keep us on the cutting edge. Its often expensive to do so, too. After combing through countless bookstores over the past few months looking for up to date books on videography, I stumbled upon CreativeEdge. I'm stunned. Here are all the books and videos that I need to learn the new tech skills needed to stay current. And – it’s all affordable and easy to use. I love it!! The first book I read paid for the monthly subscription already. Nice job, guys.
As a professional graphic production artist with over 20yrs in the biz, I've needed to learn many computer applications. Someone in my line of work can easily spend $1000+/year on books and video training. Fortunately, Safari books has created "Creative Edge". With "Creative Edge" I'm able to spend a quarter of what I was spending annually before, and be able to access ALL of the previous books AND all the new books. Even better, I get access to rough cuts which means I'm getting the books before they even hit the store shelves. I also like that I can access the book content on my mobile devices such as my iPod Touch, laptop, as well as my desktop when I'm in the office. The best part is that all content is available in the cloud via any browser at anytime. The way Creative Edge works is very flexible. You can search by content using keywords or by choosing the subject, product or brand. You can also create favorites and bookmarks for a fast return to your reading material the next time you return to the site. The search tool is very effective in that you can search full-text to narrow down your topics and even exclude material of previous versions. Once you have chosen a book to review, the presentation of the material is very efficient. In fact it's better than having the printed book in front of you. Given that Creative Edge has only been around for less a year, it's a very robust site.
Just discovered your site (via a LinkedIn announcement). I've just started exploring, but I can see it is just fantastic. Thanks so much for putting all this stuff online in one easy to find place.
We thoroughly enjoyed the training that the Creative Edge platform offered us. The wide range of video tutorials were and immense help in getting all of our administrative and marketing staff up to speed on creative software in a timely manner.
