This is not really a book review. But, due to my recent change in commuting, I’ve been able to begin catching up on past issues of the programming magazines that I read. Due to one thing or another, I’ve gotten behind in my magazines over the past few years. But, I’m making up for that now.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of the programming magazines that I read regularly. (At least the ones I read right now in July, 2004.)<\/p>\n

\n
C\/C++ Users Journal<\/dt>\n
I’ve been reading CUJ for a long time (since it was the C Users Journal<\/cite>). I consider it to be a wonderful source of information about the C and C++ languages. It also covers related languages such as Java and C#.<\/dd>\n
Dr. Dobb’s Journal<\/dt>\n
This is, of course, a classic. I’ve been reading DDJ for longer than I’ve been reading CUJ. I like the coverage of general programming trends and topics that impact our industry indirectly, as well as the more technical coverage. I also enjoy the various columns. I don’t always agree with what they have to say, but I always like reading it.<\/dd>\n
Linux Journal<\/dt>\n
I rely on the Linux Journal<\/cite> for information on all things Linux. In addition to the advocacy, this magazine provides hardware and software information for anyone interested in Linux.<\/dd>\n
The Perl Journal<\/dt>\n
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Perl Journal<\/cite> over the years, even though they have gone through some hard times. I followed them from the original print magazine, through their stint as a section in SysAdmin Journal<\/cite>, and into their current incarnation as a web-published magazine<\/a>. The magazine has ongoing articles from some of the names<\/em> in the Perl programming community and usually manages a light-hearted view of everything. Although that has not been as evident as it was in the beginning.<\/dd>\n
The Perl Review<\/dt>\n
Recently, I rediscovered the Perl Review<\/a>, another online magazine. In many ways, the Perl Review<\/cite> reminds me of what first attracted me to the Perl Journal<\/cite>. It contains good, solid information about solving problems with the Perl programming language. Unlike many magazines, it does not take itself too seriously. This combination of useful information and light-hearted attitude makes it a joy to read.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

There are several others that I have read over the years. But, given the constraints of time and money, these are the ones I’ve settled on for the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
