CMP Media has recently “merge” two of the most known software development magazines; Software Development and the C++ Users Journal (one of the last magazines dedicated to C/C+) into Dr. Dobbs magazine. Fortunately, I have an active subscription to Dr. Dobbs and I won’t lose any subscription fees.
Several years ago, CMP has also ceased the publication of the “legendary” BYTE magazine which makes me very angry (back in 1998) because a valuable source of information has been lost.
Obviously big publishing companies began to realize the importance of getting all the information directly from the provider using its blog, from a Usenet forum, or from a web site found be Google Search, and they make major efforts to create software development portals to replace the gap.
The difference is obvious.
