Microsoft is pulling the plug on its developer-focused MSDN Magazine, the software giant has revealed, ending the monthly title's run—both in print and online—after nearly two decades. The November issue of MSDN will be its last, according to a brief announcement posted on the magazine's website Monday, which noted that back issues will continue to be available online and that readers whose paid subscriptions extend beyond November will be given prorated refunds. "As Microsoft products and services expanded exponentially over the years, MSDN Magazine has gone through its own evolution, as well," read the announcement. "We realized that it is time to retire MSDN Magazine and to carry on its work through web channels like docs.microsoft.com."

MSDN—which claims a circulation of 80,000 as well as 850,000 monthly readers online—is the only remaining print magazine published by Converge360, 1105 Media's custom content/marketing services division, which was formed last year and also houses digital-only brands like Redmond, MCP Mag and Enterprise Systems Journal, among others. "Microsoft has shifted the focus of... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
