CUJ Gone But Not Forgotten

Working with the VC6 version of STL again must be painful.
Oh, yeah. I used a map, and I had to put it in an anonymous namespace instead of as a member variable, because we also can't be turning off warnings across the library, the stupid 'your mangled name is > 255 chars' warning is now only turned off within the one file.

Just called CUJ Customer Service. February 2006 = the last issue of CUJ. So sad. "we must lose precision to make significant statements about complex systems." -deKorvin on uncertainty

Care to share thier number? If your not comfortable posting it send it via email. Thanks.

I don't think they would joke about this. Michael Goodman, Publisher, has his name at the bottom of the letter. The mailing label got affixed to this "we're no longer printing CUJ" letter rather than the issue. The refund address points to Boulder, CO, the mail clearing house of America (maybe the world!). If you get your issue and no letter got glued to the front, post here so that I can call CMP and investigate.

So far it only looks like me... :confused:

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++
Just wondering, are the Image Processing for Dummies series of articles here on Code Project along the lines of what you submitted to DDJ (perhaps under a different title, with "dummies" taken out)? Paul

The displacement filters article is essentially what I sent to DDJ. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

The displacement filter article is really cool. Too bad they didn't publish it, but hey, it's on Code Project :) Paul

Not that I doubted you but I called them and indeed they have canceled publication. I am now the proud subscriber to Dr Dobbs until 2010.

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.

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.
