CUJ Gone But Not Forgotten
-
Do you know why they are stopping publication? Poor sales?
According to their spin:
[CUJ] has rovided resources and information to serve the constantly evolving community of C and C++ developers. More recently, however, we at CMP Media LLC have come to the difficult realization that the best way to serve this community in the future is to focus on new web sites, magazines, and events.
Supposedly, Dr. Dobb's Journal will cover the slack by running more C/C++ articles. I like DDJ, have a subscription, and still feel that this situation does not do my soul justice.

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?

I used to subscribe to that when I was a C++ developer - It was a great magazine. I'm sad to hear about its demise.

I used to read it from time to time, and with a post a short while ago, I even recommended it. Too bad it is gone :sigh:

For the same reason "FORTRAN Today" is hard to find on the newsstands. cheers, Chris Maunder

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

Come on Nish, it's the "c/c++" users journal, do you need to even ask? ;) I wrote a boatload of C and a freighter-load of c++ with the best of them, but it's well into the 21st century now, time to move on.

I hate DDJ, because they accepted two articles from me, and published neither, without ever replying to my emails asking if they ever intended to ( tying up the articles for no good reason ). I never managed to get an article into CUJ, although a got several into WDJ. It's a shame, but the writing has been on the wall for ages. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

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.
