About Safari

In July 2001, two of the world's most prominent technology publishers, O'Reilly Media and Pearson Technology Group, joined forces to create a joint venture, Safari Books Online. The premise was simple. Take the best IT books from the best authors and publishers. Put them into an online database that programming and IT professionals can search to quickly pinpoint reliable code examples and technical information.

The result was extraordinary. Safari's flagship service, Safari Tech Books Online, exceeded all expectations selling site licenses to Fortune 50 companies, major universities and leading training organizations worldwide. Faced with increasing client demand for more content in more functional areas, Safari tapped into the deep content pools of its venture partners, O'Reilly and Pearson (whose imprints include such well-known names as Addison-Wesley, Financial Times Prentice Hall, Cisco Press, and Prentice Hall) to expand its product line.

Safari offers a series of e-reference libraries and other e-reference tools for enterprises, academic institutions and individuals.
