Apple and MacTech Magazine Team Up to Deliver ‘develop’, Apple’s Technical
Journal
MacTech to Present Award-Winning ‘develop’ Technical Content in a Special
Section
CUPERTINO, Calif.,–April 24, 1997–Apple Computer, Inc. today announced
that it has joined forces with Xplain Corporation to publish the technical
content of ‘develop’, Apple’s award-winning quarterly technical journal, as
a special section of MacTech magazine.
Commencing with its May issue, MacTech magazine will deliver a special
section of ‘develop’ written by Apple engineers and reviewed by Apple
technical support that will enable develop’s high-quality technical
articles and code to reach more developers than ever before.
“Apple is excited to be joining forces with MacTech magazine to deliver the
kind of high-quality technical information previously published in the
develop Technical Journal,” said David Krathwohl, vice president of Apple
Developer Relations. “develop’s in-depth technical articles and vital
programming on Apple platforms and technologies, combined with MacTech’s
third-party insights, product reviews, and industry news means developers
will get even more of the high-quality technical information they have come
to expect from each publication.”
“For many years, we’ve been telling Macintosh developers that they should
subscribe to both develop and MacTech magazines.” said Neil Ticktin,
publisher of MacTech and CEO of Xplain Corporation. “To date, the
publications have been highly complementary. Now, we’ve found a method for
readers to get the best of both worlds in the most widespread way possible.”
Established in 1984 as a forum for programmers and developers, MacTech
magazine has evolved into a premier news and information vehicle targeted
at tens of thousands of programmers and developers in over fifty countries.
As part of MacTech, the new develop section will benefit from MacTech’s
extensive worldwide distribution base. This means that develop content will
be available to more developers than ever before. In addition, develop
articles will also be available in MacTech Japan–a fully localized version
of MacTech.
In addition to the new develop section, MacTech includes several regular
columns, industry news, conference reports, product reviews, MacTech
Online, a broad range of languages and environments, the latest in
shortcuts and insider secrets, advertisements specifically for Macintosh
developers, and full source code listings available on the World Wide Web,
floppy disk, and CD-ROM.
