Pick up a copy or two of Computer Language.  It's the only magazine that I
recall that deals specifically with languages and programming techniques
peculiar to them.

Dr. Dobbs current issue compares windowing systems from an application
programming perspective.

Software Tools was originally authored by Brian Kernighan and P. J. (Bill)
Plauger.  A followup, Software Tools in Pascal, was also by these two authors.
The latter book prompted one of the authors to write a paper which compared C
and Pascal.  That paper started out by drawing an analogy between programming
in C vs. Pascal, and flying a Learjet vs. a Piper Cub.
