Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

This is one book that every CIO and CISO should have. It has a multitude of tips and full of advice from David that rings true in the corporate world regardless of how large is the role. David Gee is the classiest mentor one could ever have. True story, I was out of a job after my last stint as CISO during a difficult job market. Through the use of this book, I was able to properly navigate my career choices and successfully pass multiple interviews including C-suite level panel interviews and CEO interviews. The advice in this book was spot on down to the smallest details in all the interviews I passed. This book also gives you advice after attaining CISO and CIO levels, your next elevator up to set you up for a fruitful career.

Rarely does a book come along where you stop and say, this book is extremely valuable for everyone in an industry. Packt Publising’s The Aspiring CIO and CISO by David J. Gee is one of those books. David has broken down and provided a guide for anyone that is looking for not just a position of CIO or CISO, but anyone that aspires to become an executive or leader within an organization. The structure of this book takes you through a level of understanding your own personal brand, to what it takes to be an executive leader, what to expect in the selection and interview process, building your strategy, and much more. This book is an excellent guide for anyone that wants to be in a leadership role and even for those that want to understand more about the leaders within their organization. I wish that I had this book in my twenties and thirties when I was wondering why I was working so hard and never being recognized for leadership positions. This book puts all of this in perspective and allows you to map your career path. I commend David on spending the time to share these gems with everyone.
