The Recreational Programmer

[Bill (Smithville NJ)]

Hi David,

I did find second reference to it in HP Keynotes, Nov 78, V1N1:
From the Keynotes:



New Programming
Journal

We have recently seen Volume 1 Number 1
of a new publication called The Recreational
Programmer. It is a novel, small journal for
sophisticated users of computers and programmable
calculators. The charter issue contains
32 pages on 8- 112 by I l -inch paper. Below is a
press release on this new publication.
The owner who enjoys games, graphics.
astronomy, sailing, amateur radio, or recreational
mathematics and programming puzzles
will find The Recreational Programmer a
source of usable, well-documented programs
and articles.
Each program features a flow diagram
written in English, and patterned as a BASIC
program. This allows the user of any computer
programmable in BASIC to easily use any
program on_his or her machine.
Programmable calculator owners will find
that each useful flow diagram is accompanied
by a thoroughly annotated listing for any of a
variety of personal calculators.
The Recreational Programmer is published
bimonthly (six issues a year) by Programmers

So they must have put out at least one issue. Not very big at 32 pages.

They were also mentioned in 52-Notes and Byte Magazine.
