CUJ Gone But Not Forgotten

Wow, that's really cool. I like Dr Dobb's and I have to renew it pretty soon myself :)

Dr Dobb's is good, just not quite CUJ, :shrugs: oh well its mostly bathroom reading material now days. :) :java: Again thanks for the heads up.

This seems like one of those programs that started small, grew incrementally, building internal pressure, and finally barfed all over its source code sneakers. Or something.

DDJ is pretty good and I did really like CUJ, too. Just about any good computer programming magazine is bathroom reading materials. Restroom is a good place to think in peace and quiet, even if not really needing to go to the restroom. :-D Paul

I agree to this sentiment. I like DDJ. I like CUJ more because it dealt specifically with the domain in which I work. DDJ's coverage of "technology" doesn't appeal to me as much. "we must lose precision to make significant statements about complex systems." -deKorvin on uncertainty

Curtis, I agree about CUJ being more specific. DDJ seems more broad, which is good too. My feeling is that having numerous resources available (i.e. Code Project, DDJ, CUJ, Windows Developer Journal, IEEE, ACM, and the list goes on) is a definite must for developers who want to be successful in their trade. I am sure the point I made in this post is something many can agree with :). Paul

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 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." On which issue, and where on the issue did you read this? I have the January 2006 issue, but can't find it anywhere, on the inside or outside. Even the editorial makes no mentioning of it, and the CUJ site also looks like "business as usual" (even though any "subscribe"-link is conspicuously absent). A Google search didn't turn up anything, either. Whatever it was, it seems almost as if they want to try to "silently let it pass". Gone _and_ forgotten...? Have anyone found a link to anything about this?

The announcement came as a separate page glued to the cover of the February 2006 issue. I called the customer service number and they confirmed that they will print no more issues after February 2006.

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

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.
Give me a break. DDJ is a magazine about nothing. Articles published there are rarely worth reading. I receive it for free and I don't even care to read it. DDJ is like Software Development magazine with slightly more technical content. CUJ on the contrary was good. I read two thirds of it and find it quite useful. I guess it's time to buy CUJ CD. Since the magazine went defunct, the CD containing all of its issues is gonna be valueable.

I'd love to have some word about it from the editor, P.J. Plauger. I'm pretty sure the reason is poor management. It was why C++ Report died.
