Don't forget to donate to archive.org while at it.

The amount of useful material they have gathered is impressive.

Money is great, and they're also looking for volunteers all the time to help out with Open Library. The website is constantly under attack from DDoS, and we're always improving, but it's a long road. I'm just a volunteer, but a very active one.
And if you're a tech billionaire, please fund offshore backups of archive.org !
Some interesting stuff you will get out of Dr. Dobbs articles, as someone that was an avid reader.

- The Small C compiler set of articles, where you will get the sense not even K&R C was used outside UNIX for quite some time, only a common subset.

- The toolbox articles creating a Turbo Vision like framework in Object Pascal

- The evolution of Python and related adoption

- Strange programing languages like Actor, C@+ (try to search this one nowadays), Sather, BETA

- The fashionable compiler benchmarks that used to be quite common back in the day

- The evolution of C and C++ at ISO, while their standards were being started

- A more heterogenous way of software development, when it wasn't only UNIX clones and Windows.

Is there any magazines like this left? When I was a kid, I used to buy these. I didn't even have a computer, I was just enjoying imagining what I could do if I had one. Didn't understand 10% or the content though.
I bought every issue I could find of this ....always so much inspiration!
Since we're talking about archive.org stuff, if y'all will permit it, I'd like to call attention to this thread as well

It looks like CiteseerX from PSU is now effectively offline and everything is redirecting to the Wayback Machine. But many of those links are not in the Wayback Machine. Hopefully there is - or can be - some focused effort to get that content transferred over, if the citeseerx site is really going away for good.

According to this, Dr Dobbs was to stop new articles at the end of 2014: https://slashdot.org/story/211167

Before the internet it was a good way to have a picture of what was out there. I remember the magazines had a particular smell in early 90s. Like a sweet smell, different to other magazines. There was rarely an Mac content though, which seems shortsighted. Swaine started writing Mac articles at some point if I recall, but they weren't very technical, often about hypercard?

I was reading this article from '91, the creator of Wizard C, Bob Jarvis criticised C++'s lack of modules, something it's getting around 35 years later. 91 was when Mode X graphics programming was introduced by Abrash in a series of articles.

Other magazines mentioned but no love for Computer Language Magazine? It held its own with DDJ when it came to software and theoretical topics.
Content should be in a github org.
