The idea of a software magazine is very cool. We need to go back to 70's era when magazines were extremely high quality (atleast the ones we remember - BYTE magazine, for e.g.). I find the excessive design a bit offputting. It's beautiful, nevertheless.

I remember poring over BYTE issues desperate for any technical detail! Issues that stood out: one on data compression and the one about the Taos Operating system. MSJ (Microsoft Systems Journal) was another good one!

There’s a wonderful software magazine in Japan called “Software Design” that is complete with code examples and tutorials on various topics, including web programming (both front-end and backend), Python development, Linux system administration, databases, and much more. It’s issued monthly and has been published since 1990, constantly keeping up to date with the latest technologies. The latest edition features AWS, storage, and containers. https://gihyo.jp/magazine/SD https://gihyo.jp/magazine/SD I always purchase a copy of Software Design whenever I visit Tokyo.
