Company[edit]
The company began in 1978 as a private consulting firm doing technical writing, based in the Cambridge, Massachusetts area. In 1984, it began to retain publishing rights on manuals created for Unix vendors. A few 70-page "Nutshell Handbooks" were well-received, but the focus remained on the consulting business until 1988. After a conference displaying O'Reilly's preliminary Xlib manuals attracted significant attention, the company began increasing production of manuals and books
In 1992, O'Reilly Media published one of the first popular books about the Internet, Ed Krol's Whole Internet User's Guide and Catalog.[1] O'Reilly Media also created the first web portal, the Global Network Navigator ("GNN") in 1993; it was sold to AOL in 1995, one of the first large transactions of the dot-com bubble.
O'Reilly launched a Perl Conference to raise the profile of the Perl programming language. Many of the company's other software bestsellers were also on topics that were off the radar of the commercial software industry. In 1998, O'Reilly invited many of the leaders of software projects to a meeting. Originally called the freeware summit, the meeting became known as the Open Source Summit. The O'Reilly Open Source Convention (which includes the Perl conference) is now one of O'Reilly's flagship events. Other key events include the Emerging Technology Conference and FOO Camp.
Besides publishing, the company hosts many annual conferences, and provides online services for the open source community. Among such conferences are O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in California and O'Reilly Open Source Convention. Overall, O'Reilly describes its business not as publishing or conferences, but as "changing the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators." O'Reilly has also adopted Creative Commons's Founders Copyright, which limits the maximum term of copyright protection to 28 years; it is much shorter than the current default duration of the monopoly in copyright law.
Dale Dougherty, O'Reilly Media vice president, created the phrase "Web 2.0" during a brainstorming session during 2003.[citation needed] This then became the name for the Web 2.0 Summit run by O'Reilly Media and TechWeb (formerly CMP Media). They registered Web 2.0 as a Service Mark "for arranging and conducting live events, namely trade shows, expositions, business conferences and educational conferences in various fields of computers and information technology."
In May 2006 CMP Media learned of an impending event called the "Web 2.0 Half day conference." Concerned over their obligation to take reasonable means to enforce their trade and service marks CMP sent a cease and desist letter to the non-profit Irish organizers of the event. This attempt to restrict through legal mechanisms the use of the term was criticized by some.[who?] The legal issue was resolved by O'Reilly's apologizing for the early and aggressive involvement of attorneys, rather than simply calling the organizers, and allowing them to use the service mark for this single event.[2]
Books[edit]
Animal books[edit]
the tarsier featured on the cover of Learning the vi Editor has been incorporated into the O'Reilly logo
For many years the most typical O'Reilly books, the "animal books," have been designed as thorough guides for work with established technologies. The original animal design was developed by Edie Freedman because she thought that Unix program names sounded like "weird animals." [3] O'Reilly's Web site prominently features the image from the cover of Learning the vi Editor and Unix in a Nutshell,[4][5][6][7][8] which is that of a tarsier.[5] The same image was later laser-etched into a laptop[9] and adapted into a T-shirt sold by ThinkGeek.[10] There are dozens of titles in the series, including:
Learning the vi Editor (known as the tarsier book and the source of O'Reilly)[11]
Learning Perl (known as the llama book)
Programming Perl (known as the camel book)
Mastering Perl
Information Architecture (known as the polar bear book)
Learning Python
O'Reilly manuals are color-coded on the spines.
There are also subdivisions within the line of "animal" books; for example, O'Reilly recently released a series of Cookbooks that provide prescriptive "recipes" for accomplishing specific tasks with a heavy emphasis on automation and scripting. Examples include the Perl Cookbook (ISBN 1-56592-243-3) and the Exchange Server Cookbook (ISBN 0-596-00717-5).
In a Nutshell[edit]
The "In a Nutshell" series offers compact reference coverage of a technology. Often, a Nutshell book will contain all the commands available for a given technology, or a complete listing of an API of some language or framework, and compress the description of the topics to a more high-level overview.

Cookbook[edit]
The "Cookbook" series aims to produce books that contain a general set of recipes for a particular technology. Each recipe contains a specific problem, a specific solution, and a discussion about how to apply the solution in a general sense. The Perl Cookbook set the standard and format for this series.[12]

Pocket Guide and Pocket Reference[edit]
The "Pocket" series are small form factor books, typically less than a hundred pages, covering the very bare essentials of various subjects. Topics include podcasting,[13] Linux,[14] and several programming languages. The series aims to be portable and allow the reader to find what they are looking for quickly. They are not meant as learning aids, nor as complete references.
Annoyances[edit]
The Annoyances series offers "tips, secrets, and solutions" covering advanced topics for a geek audience, mostly relating to Microsoft operating systems.
Windows Vista Annoyances
Windows XP Annoyances for Geeks, Second Edition
There is also a related "Fixing" Annoyances series of shorter books that offer simple solutions to everyday problems.
Fixing Windows Access Annoyances
Fixing Windows XP Annoyances
PC Annoyances, Second Edition
Developer's Notebook[edit]
The discontinued "Developer's Notebook" series aimed at simulating the lab notebooks of high school and college science classes, complete with scribbled marginal notes of important thoughts, points, and "gotchas." Describing itself as "all lab, no lecture," books in this series usually showed specific tasks in detail. They illuminated how the tasks work, but did not attempt to provide a complete overview of design, theory, and implementation of a given technology.
JBoss: A Developer's Notebook
Maven: A Developer's Notebook
Hibernate: A Developer's Notebook
Hacks[edit]
The "Hacks" series says it "reclaims the term 'hacking' for the good guys — innovators who explore and experiment, unearth shortcuts, create useful tools, and come up with fun things to try on their own."[citation needed]

In the fall of 2006, O'Reilly added a second magazine, Craft:, with the tagline "Transforming Traditional Crafts." Craft magazine folded in 2009.
Ventures[edit]
Over the years O'Reilly tried many other types of products. In 1993, they launched one of the first Web-based resources, Global Network Navigator, which was later sold to AOL. Around that time[when?], they started two short-lived book lines: one of travel books (including Travelers' Tales Mexico) and one of general business books (including Love Your Job! and Building a Successful Software Business). They produced an audiotape version of the interview show Geek of the Week by Internet Talk Radio. They sold Windows based software for six years, including the first commercially available Web server, Web Site.[citation needed]
O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures is a venture capital fund focusing on software, cleantech and other emerging trends.[16]
Online resources[edit]
O'Reilly formed a partnership with Pearson Publishing to offer "Safari Books Online". This service makes the complete text of over 20,000 business and technical books as well as technical videos available for online viewing through a subscription. Safari Books Online includes books and video from Adobe Press, Alpha Books, Cisco Press, FT Press, Microsoft Press, New Riders Publishing, O'Reilly, Peachpit Press, Prentice Hall, Prentice Hall PTR, Que and Sams Publishing.
O'Reilly formerly offered "SafariU" to educators to compile custom textbooks from individual chapters of books and from their own uploaded materials.
In the late 1990s, O'Reilly founded the O'Reilly Network, which grew to include sites such as:
LinuxDevCenter.com
MacDevCenter.com
WindowsDevCenter.com
ONLamp.com
O'Reilly Radar
In 2008 the company revised its online model and stopped publishing on several of its sites (including Codezoo and O'Reilly Connection).[17]
The company also produces dev2dev (a WebLogic-oriented site) in association with BEA and java.net (an open-source community for Java programmers) in association with Sun Microsystems and CollabNet.
