What amazes me is how useful a lot of this stuff is today, even still .. the computer music article would serve as a perfectly fine introduction to digital music generation for any new student of the subject, and the line-drawing/graphics routines are still quite relevant for any artist who wants to understand, underneath the covers, whats going on when they fire up their favourite paint program.
Wonderful stuff!
And the most annoying thing is that despite the dearth of information available today, I find it hard to find one well vetted source of modern best programming practices!
Creative Computing, Byte, Dr Dobbs etc. had some incredible articles vetted by some amazing editors. If anyone has any recommendations for modern, well vetted programming resources, I'd love to hear them. I currently tend to just check /r/programming , HN, lambda-the-ultimate etc. on a periodic basis looking for new, interesting stuff. Any extra sites would be much appreciated!
