     Does anyone have subscriptions to .net magazines, or do you simply get info from the web.  For most cases I have been using the web for articles and new technologies, but I would be willing to subscribe to a magazine if any are any good.  Just looking for some recommendation or is it just as easy to search the net?

     I prefer using the web for any referencing I need to do.  It is easier to update a website than print a magazine, so you can usually find more information on the web, and the information reaches you quicker.  Additionally, you can find more helpful tidbit type stuff online because it isn't worth it for a company to print it on a magazine.  Though it is nice to get a magazine every now and then that discusses emerging technologies and the like.  Plus, magazines are a little easier to take with you into the John than a laptop.  Tongue out

    I primarily use the web for articles and new technology news as it's more current and the resources are greater; however, there are times when a magazine provides a really good article that may cover a topic in decent detail. One magazine, I find to be really good and subscribe to is CODE Magazine.

    I have read quite a few and CoDe Magazine is my favorite.  I used to love Dr. Dobbs, but they went digital and I just don't like to read digital magazines online.  ASP.NET Pro is pretty good, but short.

    I read MSDN Magazine and Code magazine (both great), the web is great tool when I am looking for an answer to something but I find a magazine gives me a broader scope on all parts of ASP.net not just the bits I am intrested in at the moment... and besides you can read a magazine in the bath or in bed :0)
