Useable Quotes:
“Pearson Education has spent the past year
developing new forums and vehicles for our best selling authors to share
their knowledge and expertise,” said Paul
Boger, Vice President and Publisher at Pearson Education. “In
2006, Pearson introduced a new digital series of stand alone products
called Short Cuts (www.informit.com/shortcuts)
as well as a Rough Cut Program (http://safari.informit.com/roughcuts),
which gives early access to evolving book manuscripts. The OnPodcast
free interview series provides yet another opportunity for our authors
to impart their knowledge and should prove to be a great value-add for
our readers.”
“The OnPodcast Network (www.onpodcastweekly.com)
harnesses the power and flexibility of the digital medium to connect
audiences directly to the most authoritative industry experts for a
truly on-demand learning experience,” said
Eric D. Garulay, OnPodcast Network Founder, and Digital Marketing
Manager, Pearson Education.
"I've enjoyed communicating with the software development community
through text -- books, articles, newsgroups, and email -- and through
live personal appearances, but audio and video open up new possibilities
that I am excited to explore,” said Scott
Meyers, author of the best-selling Effective C++ series of books. “The
dynamic aspects of podcasts and vodcasts make it possible to approach
subjects in ways that text can't touch, and the audible nature of
podcasts makes it possible for people to participate in an interaction
without having to devote their eyes to the task. These new media
opportunities are a boon to both ‘authors' —
people who provide information — and ‘readers'
— people who consume it.”
