CUJ Gone But Not Forgotten

Do you know why they are stopping publication? Poor sales?
Duh. :-) Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

I was subscribed to CUJ as well, but for some reason they stopped sending me the magazine 6 months ago.

My programming blahblahblah blog. If you ever find anything useful here, please let me know to remove it.
I stopped mine and they sent for ages afterwards. Perhaps that has contributed to their demise ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Didn't you write an article for them some time ago? Or was it Windows Developer magazine?

I may have said here that I got an article in to DDJ. That would be before they ignored all my emails, and just sat on the articles. But I had several in WDJ. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Saw your post above. I recall the article in WDJ. Too bad you haven't gotten DDJ to publish any of your articles. They are all really good here at CP... DDJ doesn't know what they are missing :) Paul

Found the one I remember seeing. It's from March 2003, Debugging with IOStreams Extensions. A very well written and informative article :)

Funny you mention that - one of my image processing articles is basically one of the DDJ articles. The other was on Koenig lookup, and VC2002 come out while I was waiting, so the issue became moot. Although, I think more people still use VC6 than I find remotely reasonable. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Thanks. I wrote that article to learn how to work with iostreams, and it spawned a number of CP articles as well. I got the *best* IOStreams book just before writing that article. I forget what it's called, but I'm sure I refered to it in the article. If you use iostreams, you need that book. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Christian, In the article you recommend Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales authored by Angelika Langer and Klaus Kreft, is this the book?

Too bad about the image processing article with DDJ. In my opinion, though I am not a graphics guy, that would have been very interesting. I guess magazine readers are at the will of what the editors feel is interesting or not? I think the ability of having many good quality articles from the development community is something that makes Code Project really good.

I have subscribed to the C/C++ Users Journal for seven years. I eagerly anticipate its arrival every month. Imagine my disappointment when I read on the cover of the magazine "you are holding in your hands the last issue of the C/C++ Users Journal." For those of you lurking about the message boards that also read this fine magazine, I offer my sympathies and condolence. Does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement?

:wtf: I recently renewed my subscription for two more years. I wonder if they will return the money? :mad: BTW, which issue had the notice? I haven’t seen anything yet.

Yep. Our local downloads for ResOrg (i.e. not including those from CP, for which we don't have metrics) show a 50% split, although that's admittedly a small sample. We're sufficiently concerned about it that we are preparing a version of Visual Lint which will run on VS6 and eVC 4.0 as well as VS2002 onwards. At the very least, it's proving to be an interesting excercise in interface abstraction and UI customisation. Subclassing, anyone? :doh: Anna :rose: Currently working mostly on: Visual Lint :cool: Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up. It didn't work.

Indeed, new EU regulations related to reciclable paper lead to situation that this publication is no more allowed in EU. Saying this, the reasons of stopping publishing are clear. Unfortunately, I'm also looking for a replacement. :(

The December 2005 issue. They will offer to you the compendium CD, a $54.95 value. Or, you can write to them and they will send a refund to you. That's what I'm doing. I already have the CD. "we must lose precision to make significant statements about complex systems." -deKorvin on uncertainty

Okay, I hadn’t yet gotten a chance to parse through that issue yet. Looking at it though there is no mention of discontinuation of publication. I just checked my mailbox today and found February’s issue waiting for me. Looks like I need to send them an email.

The actual magazine has nothing in it that describes its demise. A cover letter got glued to the face of the magazine. It seems like no one at the magazine knew. All the columnists wrote "...in my next article..." conclusions. Oh, sorry, I looked at the wrong issue laying on the desk. The notice that I received did come with the February 2006 issue, the SECURITY issue. The headlines on the front read Validating C & C++ for Safety and Security Kerberos Authentication Useing GSSAPI & SSPI Recreational Operator Overloading But, of course, when you first get the magazine, all you see is the ugly white paper on front with the letter stating that CUJ has died.

The plot thickens; I have the February issue sitting before me now. There was no white paper stuck to it or anything loose in the mailbox, no remnants of anything stuck to it either. Very strange. I tried contacting customer service and was meet with error messages any which way I tried. I finally gave up and sent an email to one of the editors.
