Surfing the Net for Software Engineering Notes

Mark Doernhoefer wrote the Surfing the Net for Software Engineering Notes column for SEN. Beginning with the January 2001 issue of SEN, Mark switched over from coverage of software engineering discussions on the Usenet newsgroups to software engineering-related sites on the World Wide Web.

The full text of the Surfing columns are available to members in the ACM Digital Library. In addition, all of the links Mark has mentioned in his columns are collected here in one place, for your surfing ease and pleasure:
