This DVD is available for pre-sale until Dec. 15 at $49.95. As you can see, it is quite a collection. The most significant part for me is the inclusion of a series of articles by William Jolitz on the development of 386BSD. He inluded all of the source code and comments in the articles. I enjoyed reading them in the early 90s. The early days of the C Users Journal were also most enjoyable. This series chronicled the early development of the PC era. I intend to order a copy.

The Dr. Dobb's Developer Library DVD is a fully searchable DVD that includes:

- 18 years of Dr. Dobb's Journal
- 14+ years of C/C++ Users Journal
- 4 years of The Perl Journal
- 4 years of Dr. Dobb's Sourcebook
- Dozens (and dozens) of Podcasts on topics ranging from .NET development to Rich Internet Applications
- Thousands and thousands of lines of source code

If you can put up with the reiterative animation ;). The Dr. Dobbs archive looks interesting!

I have seen the Jolix site before. The last time I looked, the articles were not complete. The color combinations and site configuration drive my feeble eyes to a headache in short order!!!! Bill and his wife were pioneers in open source software.
