Re: Palm dev print mags
I subscribe to Dr. Dobbs (and I agree with the previous post that this month's issue is painfully slim), and I think it's a little less than every other issue, but I haven't really been noticing until now. I also subscribe to a couple of Java programming magazines, and they feature J2ME articles every single issue.

Re: Palm dev print mags
As a new Palm developer (but an old crusty software developer) I was wondering if there are any print magazines targeted for Palm development, as opposed to mainstream consumer oriented PDA-type magazines. nope, not yet :) the thought has crossed my mind however to work on something like this - i have a few topics i would like to write about :) --- Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] CEO - CTO +46 70 656 1143 Mobile Wizardry http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Re: Palm dev print mags
Of course, the Internet resources are abundant and very effective, but I really like receiving programming mags in the mail and taking them on the train with me. Its perhaps a sentimental thing. I got interested in programming as a result of my dad getting a subscription to Family Computing. Ever since then I've voraciously read printed periodicals to stay current.

RE: Palm dev print mags
From: Ben Combee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] the Internet has killed the traditional programmer magazine. Sad... I picked up a Dr. Dobb's Journal the other day for the first time in months, and was shocked how thin and emaciated it has become. Hey, maybe they have room for more Palm articles now. :-) -slj- -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
