Question to all the computer programming, software, and web and app developers out there please: are there any in-depth, hands-on computer training book series publishers that you would recommend to replace Wrox, since Wrox is no longer publishing new books (last books published by Wrox were in 2014, iirc)?

Over the years up until they were bought out by other publishers and eventually stopped publishing new book titles, I personally found (IME) Wrox to be a tried-and-true excellent IT training resource for learning IT web developer, programming, and software training for things like .NET, JavaScript, VBScript, Visual Basic, CSS, XML, SharePoint, and many other IT hot training training topics. Since 2014 and up until recently, I had previously largely switched career specialties from app and web development to other career areas such as project management and COR/COTR areas, which is why I haven't had to focus much on the technology side for the past some years.

However, I am now switching back again into more technology-centric areas such as web development, and so again I was just curious if anyone knew of a current book publisher that has training material on-par and comparable to what Wrox had provided, when it was still publishing new titles? Especially for learning newer in-demand IT technologies such as HTML5, JSON, ARIA, etc.? I loved Wrox's approach because it was very hands-on and provided in-depth training material to get people very quickly up to speed on latest coding best practices. Thanks!
