magazine: web developer

     Here is a rundown of the various Web-related publications as far as I 
     can tell (and I read most of them).
     
     WebWeek -  Weekly (now) "newspaper" that covers the business of the 
     Web. Includes breaking news, and many sections: Marketing & Commerce, 
     Intranet World, Software, Industry, and some good departments. From 
     Meckler Publications. For details:  www.webweek.com
     
     Web Developer - also from Meckler.  Bi-monthly. Lots of good articles, 
     interviews and software/hardware comparative articles and reviews.  
     good tips and tricks, and good columns. www.webdeveloper.com/
     
     Web Techniques - From Miller Freeman. Monthly) A little more technical 
     that Web Developer. Includes good basics, also program listings. May 
     be a little heavy-duty of you are not a programmer. Graphics guru 
     Lynda Weinman writes monthly column. www.webtechniques.com
     
     WebMaster magazine - from the publishers of CIO (monthly) - very much 
     an executive's guide to the Web in business, although it contains many 
     articles on issues relevant to anyone managing a web site. Check out 
     articles on www.web-master.com/
     
     ZD Internet Magazine - from Ziff Davis. (Monthly) Good, solid, web 
     generalist publication. Competes directly with Meckler's Internet 
     World, as far as I can tell. Good product reviews, solid features.  I 
     like the monthly web site makeover.  www.zdimag.com
     
     Internet World - From Meckler.  (monthly) I think this was really one 
     of the first publications that came out covering web issues that was 
     not just a listing of cool web sites.  I still like it. Includes good 
     columns along with features that do reflect current Web issues.  
     www.iw.com
     
     I know this is more information than you requested, but I thought some 
     other folks in this list might like to know what's out there... One 
     the other hand, I expect that others have stronger feelings about some 
     of these publications than I do.
     
     Before you subscribe to any of them, I would suggest you check out the 
     Web sites and look at the various tables of contents.  You should be 
     able to tell by the TOC whether a publication is right for you.  Good 
     luck.

i just got an advertisement for a magazine called

The technical magazine for internet professionals
Web developer.  

it sounds interesting, but has anyone seen it or can any of you 
recommend it.  i am very new to the field of webmaster and learning 
lots all the time.  i have my own site up that i have been learning 
to do and all the in's and outs and am in process of taking that 
knowledge and learning the ins and outs of university pages and 
management.  

so would this magazine help or could anyone recommend one that would 
be better.  it certainly sounds like a route to go for more info up 
to date.  any opinions on the matter would be appreciated.  cori
