Dr. Dobb's Announces New M-Dev Initiative Focused on Microsoft Windows Platform

InformationWeek Business Technology Network, the global leader in business technology media, announced a new M-Dev initiative from Dr. Dobb's, the developer focused brand. Dr. Dobb's M-Dev is a new editorial initiative targeting the unique information needs of the Microsoft developer community.

Dr. Dobb's M-Dev will focus on the technology and independent perspective developers need to create the applications their companies demand to remain competitive. It is anchored by a monthly print demographic report that will run within the pages of InformationWeek Magazine, the market-leading business technology brand, and includes a weekly email newsletter for news alerts and time sensitive features.

Led by Dr. Dobb's Editorial Director Jon Erickson, Dr. Dobb's M-Dev will feature developers and experts highly respected in the specialized market of the Microsoft Windows developer.

"Dr. Dobb's has been serving the Microsoft development community for many years," said Erickson. "We've now expanded the level of content and tools we provide for this specialized community."

From Windows Mobile to Windows Azure, Dr. Dobb's M-Dev covers the complete range of platform implementations, along with the SDKs and third-party tools that make it possible for developers to turn ideas into applications.

"A large majority of enterprise computing environments run on some type of Microsoft platform," said Brandon Friesen, Group Publisher of the InformationWeek Business Technology Network. "With Dr. Dobb's M-Dev, we now have evolved products to meet the information needs of the Microsoft developer community and the solutions for the technology marketer."
