101communications Launches Magazine for Software Developers

Posted on October 10, 2001

101communications announced the launch of a new bi-monthly publication targeting developers across multiple languages and platforms. Programmers Report will debut as a January/February 2002 publication and reach a targeted circulation of 100,000 corporate and government developers. Java Report and Journal of Object-Oriented Programming will be closed and the subscriber lists moved to Programmers Report.

Java Report, a monthly publication focusing on Java technology, will publish its last issue in October, while Journal of Object-Oriented Programming subscribers will receive their final issue in December. Current readers and advertisers of both publications will be transitioned to Programmers Report starting with the January/February 2002 issue.

``Programmers Report will incorporate key elements of current 101communications titles, Java Report and the Journal of Object-Oriented Programming, and expand their individual coverage to better reflect the breadth of issues faced by the developer community,'' said editor Jack Vaughan. ``In today's world, developers must be adept at using multiple technologies. Organizations can no longer afford to be dependent on a single technology or supplier.''

Programmers Report will be edited by Jack Vaughan, a computer trade-press veteran with more than 18 years' experience. Dwight Deugo, editor-in-chief of Java Report, and Richard Weiner, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Object-Oriented Programming, have been collaborating with the Programmers Report staff on the launch of the new product.

The new publication will be aimed at programmers versed in using a variety of object-oriented technologies to build simple and complex applications. In addition to analysis of the software development field, its features will include how-to articles, product reviews, book reviews and code samples.

``Programmers Report will provide developers with a single source for extensive coverage of C++, Java, C# and other object technologies used extensively every day by corporate and government programmers,'' said Mike Bucken, editorial director of 101's Software Development Group.

101communications will also launch a software development portal website that will include content from Application Development Trends, Programmers Report and the archive of Java Report and the Journal of Object-Oriented Programming. The portal has a planned launch date of Jan. 1, 2002.
