Embedded System Programming/Embedded Systems Design

Embedded Systems Programming/Embedded Systems Design

This is the best magazine that I subscribe to. If you work with embedded systems then this is the magazine to get. Their web page has lots of other useful information as well.

Ok, I'll come clean. I really have not been subscribed to this magazine for several years because they started charging for subscriptions to Canadian addresses (Canada is deemed international now). So I lost touch with the print magazine.

In October 2005, ESP was renamed to ESD.

In August 2007, ESD redesigned their web site and added a RSS feed. So now keeping up with the print magazine is easy with a feed reader.

ESP/ESD has a article archive but not all the articles from every issue is linked for issues prior to September 2000. I believe this is because you can buy a CD-ROM with all the articles back to 1988.
