I was on Facebook the other day, and I saw an advertisement for an online magazine aimed at JavaScript developers: JSMag.
I checked out the site, and I have to say that I’m pretty impressed with the idea. Each issue is something like 35+ pages (in PDF format), and the magazine can be purchased ad hoc or by yearly subscription. The price is basically the same as any other magazine you’d buy at the grocery store.
Topics include things I use everyday: ExtJS, jQuery, debugging, unit testing. I’ll be honest and say I haven’t actually read any of the issues yet (I’m trying to get my company to buy a subscription), but I do like that a magazine is dedicated to JavaScript development.
I do have a funny story, though. When I first visited their website I was using IE7 and their CSS was all messed up. I sent them an email and I got a response this morning:
Me: Have you looked at your site in IE7? (v7.0.6001.18000) It looks like shit. Looks great in Firefox though.
M. Kimsal: I’m aware. We were supposed to have some fixes in place for groovymag and jsmag this month, but they’re not in place yet – probably by next week. Only 8% of the visitors are IE users, but that might be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Thank you for being a proverbial light under our proverbial backside, though.
I found it funny.
I do look forward to reading the magazine, and I hope JSMag succeeeds.
