Apress, Inc. is a publisher of information technology books, based in New York City. It is a division of Springer Science+Business Media.
Apress was founded by authors Gary Cornell and Dan Appleman. Its original name was Author's Press, shortened to APress, then Apress. In 2003, Apress purchased much of the intellectual property of the designer-oriented publisher Friends of ED. Apress books, for the most part, are characterized by a uniform yellow and black design. Topics covered relate largely to programming issues, on both proprietary and open source platforms. Hardware hacking is also a theme, and Apress has published some books aimed for mainstream consumer electronics users. Authors include Andrew Troelsen, Andy Budd, Rob Harrop and Jan Machacek, Rory Lewis, Michael A. Banks, Keir Thomas, Jessica Livingston, Marziah Karch, Bob Walsh, and Joel Spolsky. Their print books are distributed worldwide by Springer-Verlag, and they are also sold as eBooks and distributed online through the subscription service Safari Online. In 2007 Apress was fully acquired by Springer. Prior to this Springer owned a minority stake[1], and in 2009 Apress' offices in Berkeley, California closed and the business moved to Springer's headquarters in New York.
