rapidBOOKS LP is a new digital publishing house that produces technology and management books, research papers, articles and white papers on unique technology solutions for programmers, software developers, IT Managers and other IT professionals. rapidBOOKS is the publishing arm of DexPro(Dextrus Prosoft Inc.), a technology consulting firm that Manoj Khanna brought to Calgary, Alberta from the Silicon Valley a few years ago.

“Sometimes it simply takes too long to have a book printed and shipped, and sometimes the information requires substantial updates quite soon after publication – particularly in the technology area. rapidBOOKS LP will address both these with an agile publishing model.” says Manoj Khanna, Founder & Publisher of rapidBOOKS LP. Manoj’s vision for rapidBOOKS is to be a digital publishing company that is fast and agile in responding to the information needs of technology professionals, particularly in the areas of open source, emerging technologies and social technology.

rapidBOOKS LP advisor Ron Murch, from the University of Calgary Executive MBA program, says, “The rate of change, particularly with technology, computing and telecommunications based tools, is rapid. If you are at the forefront of that, being able to access current technical knowledge for problem solving and implementing solutions becomes quite important. In addition to publishing digital books, various social media tools are being used by rapidBOOKS to build online communities to provide easy access to the resources (technology, information, people) needed to solve these technical problems rapidly.

Set to launch on June 15 with their first set of end of Spring release titles, rapidBOOKS and its authors from across the globe will begin with seven books in PDF, Sony Reader, Kindle, iPad, and other popular formats that the majority of book readers in the market today use. rapidBOOKS LP will publish books in English, Portuguese and French.

rapidBooks has three series:

• rapidBOOK Series is a line of full-sized textbooks covering the latest tech topics. The first in this series is Professional and Scientific Writing with Open Source Tools and KDE for the Graphical User.
• rapidLearning Series is a line of quick, easy-to-absorb condensed books on hot tech topics like Practical & Applied Search Engine Optimization and Practical & Applied Blogging.
• rapidManagement Series is a line of textbooks on tech management. The first in the series is Practical Agile Experience.
