What is bitwise magazine?
Bitwise is a free online magazine for technically literate computer users. Just like a printed magazine, it is published in monthly 'issues'; however, unlike a printed magazine, the new features of each issue appear gradually, week by week, until the new issue is completed with the publication of the editorial and regular columns at the start of each month.

Is bitwise just about programming?
No. Bitwise carries articles on all kinds of subjects that may be of interest to professional and amateur users interested in making the most of the capabilities of computers and related technologies. This includes areas such as mathematical and scientific software, computer hardware, video, audio and DVD.... oh, and, of course, programming!
