If programming is your main interest and you do some programming in 'C' then
you will want to subscribe to Dr. Dobbs Journal. This journal is filled every
month with programming tips, tricks, fancy algorithms, and in-depth articles.
The only problem with Dr. Dobbs Journal is that it goes into much detail, this
might be a problem to the novice, if you have a good background, then you need
not worry. What you should do is go to a magazine stand and buy the next issue
of Dr. Dobbs Journal, and see for yourself if you like it!
