Dr. Dobb's Journal

An English language monthly magazine published in the USA from 1975 to 2014 commonly referred to as "dobbs" or DJJ, it focused or topics related to computer programming. Originally published by a computer club that formed around a Tiny Basic implementation and was called People's Computer Company and the magazine was then known as "dr. dobb's journal of Tiny BASIC Calisthenics & Orthodontia: Running Light Without Overbyte", in 1976 the focus of the publication was extended general programming and the title shortened to Dr. Dobbs Journal of Calisthenics & Orthodontia.

The publication stopped being delivered in print form in 2009 but continued to be available in PDF format for a little while afterwards, with material from contributors also appearing in a recurring column called Dr. Dobb's Report that appeared in InformationWeek and the company continued publishing new material on the web. It was finally was closed down in 2014 after losing 70% of its online advertising revenue since 2012, but the publication was hit hard by the increasing popularity of adblockers amongst the "technically literate" crowd.
