Dead Mac Development Magazines?

When asked about subscribing to printed periodicals related to Macintosh development, I could only think of "MacTech."

Are there any others? (and are they good?)

Thanks for your opinions.

I don't know others, but then I usually read Mac developer articles on the Internet, if at all. Even more so, the relatively niche potential readership is probably the biggest reason for the absence of Mac technical magazines.

I started subscribing to MacTech again (I briefly talked about 10 years ago), but I think that I rarely read magazines enough to justify the cost. In the long run , it’s much more economical to buy a MacTech archives DVD , although it’s not sad and you don’t get the latest content. I'm sure MacTech.com had a model that allowed readers to subscribe to content on the Internet and not receive a physical journal.

Unfortunately, I do not know any printed periodicals except MacTech. I have filled this gap with several other forms of electronic media. I know that you were looking for printed materials, but I will pass on some of my saturation methods like Mac dev.

First, on the book front, nothing is better than an O'Reilly Safari subscription . From here, you can stay on top of all the latest developments, Mac developments, and iPhone development books. My favorite for Mac development, of course, is Cocoa® Programming for Mac® OS X, third edition from Aaron Hillegass.

Second, for relatively static link sites, you certainly have an Apple development site - but another good user sponsored site is CoocaDev .

Thirdly, for more dynamic and consistent information, you need to follow several blogs from Apple employees and indie software developers. There are many great blogs out there, but some of my favorites (and active ones) to get you started:

Then, for the most interactive experience, irc is the place where you can get quick answers and often hide behind some interesting information (and, of course, help others) - go to irc.freenode.net - the following numbers matter:

  • macdev

  • macosxdev

  • cocoadev

  • Objc

  • cocoa

  • iphonedev

A lot of great info is available for Mac developers!
