Today is the launch of the brand new NFJS magazine! It's a great way for you keep new development ideas percolating between the long, lonely months when the NFJS tour isn't in your city. ;)

The inaugural issue includes articles from Venkat Subramaniam (So You Want to Be Agile?), Ken Sipe (Introduction to Functional Languages), Mark Richards (Message Driven POJOs), and me (The Case for Continuous Integration).

I think you'll find a great mix of pragmatism and experience in each edition. Just like an NFJS event, use the magazine to broaden your horizons and learn about topics that don't normally cross your path. Bring great ideas to your company and your "sanity hacking" projects as well!

Subscriptions run $50 a year for 10 issues. Bringing articles from this level of technical talent into your house once a month is money well spent. It's an investment into yourself, and your team.
