Web Techniques Magazine

Pros: just the right technical pitch
Cons: not for everybody, the development section is thinning out.

I lucked onto Web Techniques when it first began publication some five (?) years ago. WT is a monthly given free to folks who represent themselves as web developers.

Getting a magazine like this right is a real challenge, and for me WT...

Pros: Internet Solutions, Important 'How-to's for Webmasters, Learn what others know
Cons: I believe this magazine has no faults worth noting!

Web Techniques
Solutions for Internet Professionals

The Short Synopsis

Looking for that crucial information? Want to learn how to spice up your site? Or just looking for all the new solutions and news, concerning the...

Pros: free to web developers, well written, cutting edge, excellent reference material
Cons: could use a broader vision sometimes (although to be fair, its purpose is to give you tools, tips, and techniques, not strategy)

If you are a web developer, it is in your interest to subscribe to this excellent magazine (if nothing else, it is free). I read every article, every editorial, every bit of news, and even some ads. This is essential reading for any web developer.
...

Pros: topics not limited to a single pet language or platform. Can't beat the price.
Cons: not for the casual computer user

As just about anybody in the IT industry will attest, there are literally dozens of tech-related magazines out there, each one attempting to capture your interest (and their advertiser's increased revenues). Many of them are only too happy to give you...

Pros: Clear, in-depth, authoritative
Cons: Pretty darn technical

I buy web techniques ocasionally. I don't buy it every month, because frankly, it goes over my head too much. Don't get me wrong. I'm no web idiot. I'm a professional webmaster. But it's rarely that I need the database and scripting knowledge that Web...

Pros: Professional, informative
Cons: Less technical than I would like

There are a million technical magazines around, started at the rate of a dozen for every buzzword around. Think of any recent topic (xml, java etc.) and you will find many magazines in that niche.

Obviously, the web has been THE development of...

Pros: great technical magazine for developers, consultants and marketers
Cons: none unless you do not want a fairly hardcore tech mag

Bit dry unless you are passionate about the stuff - this is definitely a niche mag. By far the best free mag I have subscribed to over the last year and a half. I'm not sure when and how I filled out the application to get it but it was a pleasant...

Pros: Great Content
Cons: none

Web Techniques has the most relevant information and insight for developers, designers, and anyone else who is associated with the web industry. It is comforting to know that there are people out there who are in tune with the industry trends and needs....

Pros: Well thought-out issues, quality articles, authoritative experts
Cons: Unpredictable where they are going next, try to cater to too many audiences

About 2 years ago, this was the magazine that I felt honored to buy every month that I would go out to the booksellers for the new issue. It was not terribly popular, but known in the elite circles as the somewhat difficult to comprehend at times, but...

Pros: Free
Cons: Writers don't always seem to know their stuff

This monthly magazine is amongst the leaders in its class. It claims to be highly dedicated to providing its readers with hands-on technical solutions for their problems, as well as giving coverage to some of the hottest, cutting-edge issues in Web...

Pros: lots and lots of info, free for web based companies
Cons: only once a month

WEB Techniques is an essential for ANY web developer. Theres so much info packed into these magazines, you'll be stacking them on your shelves as if they were encyclopedias. In fact, they'll be used just as much, if not more then encyclopedias. This...

Pros: FREE, Practical Solutions, Very Informative
Cons: Lots of ads, Monthly Issue - I wish it came out more often

I signed up at their website a LONG time ago. I couldn't believe it was a free subscription. I waited to get the magazine, till I made any judgements.

I was very impressed with what they had to offer. They had real practical solutions for ASP,...

Pros: Many sections, great articles, screenshots and examples
Cons: None

Being that I am a website designer and developer, I wanted a magazine that can show me tricks and tips, as well as trends in the internet industry. This magazine covers many different aspects of development in all types of fields. Several topics...

Pros: tips, tricks, techniques, trends
Cons: only published once a month :)

I am a intranet web designer and have subscribed to WebTechniques for approximately the last two years. I look forward to receiving it every month because it is always filled with helpful tips and reviews of new products. The magazine is also a nice...
