Wrox hit the rocks as Glasshaus cracks By John Leyden Posted: 17/03/2003 at 13:39 GMT IT publisher Wrox Press is set to close following the collapse into liquidation of US owners Peer Information last Friday.
Peer Information owns Friends of Ed and Wrox Press, which trades as Glasshaus, Curlingstone, and runs a number of community sites. Glasshaus and Friends of Ed have announced that their respective sites are to close. There's nothing on the Wrox site just yet, but links on the site suggest the business failure of Peer Information spells the demise of a whole community, which includes sites such as ASPToday.com and CSharpToday.com (both up and running but neither is taking new subscriptions or adding fresh content). .....
Wrox作为计算机编程类图书的专业出版商,在读者心目中一向是高质量的代表,其开发者社区也聚集着全世界范围的大量的开发人员。可以说这个消息在寒冷的互联网冬天给人们再增一丝寒意。所幸的是这个困境似乎正在消弥中。
