Here's an update.

Any suggestions?

PS
I think it would be good to have a contributes section in the DJounal with
all authors details (webpage/email). What do you think.

For example, heres some of my details

Country : Australia
Occupation : 3rd Year computer science Uni Student
Webpage : www.hohums.tech.nu
Email : anderson@firestar.com.au (but you already have that)
Hobbies : Programming, Programming, 3d graphics programming and D.

But I haven't contributed enough to be worthy of that honour yet ;).

Guys

Just a heads-up on the full-xp of the various types of contributions we'll be seeking for the magazine.

Basically, I think there should be the following:

1. Articles: 2000-4000 words. Serious and sophisticated content. Well
presented; cogent arguments; correct and explained accompanying code
2. Tips: 400-800 words. Non-trivial (in content, or size, or both). Usually
accompanying or embedded code fragments
3. Notes: One-sentence => two-paragraphs and/or small snippets of code (just
like Joel's list so far contributed)
4. Opinion pieces. Robert Cunningham did a great off-the-cuff effort the
other day on the group, and that's the kind of thing we'll be looking for. I
think we'll get Robert to do that one for the first issue, if he'll be so
kind.
5. Editorial. A kind of "hello to this month's issue"
6. "A Word From Walter"
7. other things that no-one's thought of yet, and that may be added as the
issues go by.

I totally confess that I'm borrowing from the excellent Windows Developer's Journal, at least in so far as 1 - 3 are concerned. Although WDJ (now Windows Developer Magazine) no longer has the notes section - which is a shame - it does have Articles, and the Tech Tips section, which I think is an especially useful feature, given the size: they are informative, but never big enough to lose one's attention span. I am certainly looking forward to learning from all you guys via this type of piece especially.

Each issue will likely have:

2-4 articles
2-6 tips
5-15 notes
1 or 2 opinion pieces
1 editorial
wfw

Therefore, Joel, your tips are actually notes, but that's cool.

In a couple of days I'll put out a fuller, more detailed, description of all these ideas and then I'll invite everyone's opinion.

Matthew

Fine, I'll refer to them as notes from now on, just for clarority. In the VB mag they were referred to as tips, and came from many different readers of the mag, and were much better and more interesting then mine. I guess I'll be able to make up some better ones once I start using D more often. For example I'm thinking lots of win32 ones, which I haven't done in D yet.

Although the term notes doesn't really give them justice. Perhaps the long hand name could be "words of the moment", "chitty chat" or something.

Just another idea.
What about, having a readers comment section at the end of each article
where users can comment about that article (and talk to the author).

This website does this
http://codeguru.earthweb.com/

For example is article http://codeguru.earthweb.com/controls/hotprop.html

But I think earthwebs version of this looks kind of ugly. There is probably some way to neaten it up.

It's a way of expanding content with little effort.

Any suggestions?

The "When to Optimise" section is all in large-bold (<h1> ?) style. Think you're missing a terminating </hX> somewhere

OK, I've fixed the bugs up (included)

My thoughts (editor hat comically hanging off the left brow, so I can watch the South Korea - Portugal game with the right :):

1. Walking backwards in arrays    -     ok, useful for programming
neophytes. Could do with explanation of which is preferred and why
2. Filler                                        -      not sure these are
terribly useful, unless each is contextualised. The optimisation one is
worth saying, however
3. D arrays can be sorted            -    need to comment on the sort order
4. D arrays can be resized            -     perfect note
5. Comparing arrays                    -    perfect note
6. D newsgroup                            -     good note (although links
will be on the site)
7. HTML embedded code            -     good note
8. Notes                                        -    not necessary. There'll
be full info on how to write for us on the magazine site, but good to
mention in this file for the moment
9. Which comes first                    -    think this is way too complex a
topic to be summed up in a note. What about an article?
10. Cohesion / Coupling                -    reasonable
11. When to Optimise                -    should be a Tip. Could be useful as
such. You'd need to provide citations for your quotes/statements
12. KISS / KINAS                    -    Again, statements without
rationale. Need to back up these philosophical points
13. Localisation                        -    [localisation is often used as
an interchangeable term with internationalisation]. What you are talking
about is locality-of-reference. Again would be better as a Tip including
references
14. goto                                    -    Needs some concrete dangers
of goto, and also at least one situation where they are useful/necessary

Keep em coming. We've got at least 7 out of that lot. In publishing 50% is pretty good, let me tell you (as a battle-scarred weary word-warrior).

:)

I'll have a look.

Note I didn't make it for a website, I just did that to keep things in order. I though this was going to be phased by some CGI script or somthing, but a localised part should be ok as well.  I found the previous bugs (not using H1) before your post, but wasn't going to send until I had a bit more. If you want html l'll put in in html (or xtml) .

I'll look though those notes, thanks.

  neophytes. Could do with explanation of which is preferred and why
  2. Filler                                        -      not sure these are
  terribly useful, unless each is contextualised. The optimisation one is
  worth saying, however
  3. D arrays can be sorted            -    need to comment on the sort order
  4. D arrays can be resized            -     perfect note
  5. Comparing arrays                    -    perfect note
  6. D newsgroup                            -     good note (although links
  will be on the site)
  7. HTML embedded code            -     good note
  8. Notes                                        -    not necessary. There'll
  be full info on how to write for us on the magazine site, but good to
  mention in this file for the moment
  9. Which comes first                    -    think this is way too complex a
  topic to be summed up in a note. What about an article?
  10. Cohesion / Coupling                -    reasonable
  11. When to Optimise                -    should be a Tip. Could be useful as
  such. You'd need to provide citations for your quotes/statements
  12. KISS / KINAS                    -    Again, statements without
  rationale. Need to back up these philosophical points
  13. Localisation                        -    [localisation is often used as
  an interchangeable term with internationalisation]. What you are talking
  about is locality-of-reference. Again would be better as a Tip including
  references
  14. goto                                    -    Needs some concrete dangers
  of goto, and also at least one situation where they are useful/necessary

  Keep em coming. We've got at least 7 out of that lot. In publishing 50% is
  pretty good, let me tell you (as a battle-scarred weary word-warrior).

Ok, I've made a few changes.  Perhaps some of the things I added should be tips.  It's in html now, but I've discovered that my html editors have stopped working (xp -upgrade), so I simply used word (yuk).  It shouldn't be a problem to convert it to standard html/xhtml later though.

I don't mind the constructive criterions. I fact I'm suprised any of them got though at all (note to self - better double check that dogy code and gramma).  I didn't spend to much time writing them. I hoped it would just spark others off.

On another note, parhaps someone should start a hints and tips (or tips and tricks) list. Just to get a big collection of them which you (or someelse)  can sort though for the first issue.

Over

PS
I was just reading though this neat webpage - interesting about programming personality,  some of it is opinion based, but it's still good.
