I agree with others that, for a physical paper magazine, MacTech is what you want, and you'll just have to ignore the developer portion (which is easier than ignoring the consumer portions of MacLife or MacWorld). But your online options are more relevant and more plentiful.
MacTech has also recently consolidated its online resources into Apple Central. There are forums and other information-based web pages. But probably the most succinct and professionally focused tech information has been provided for years by Tidbits. Their weekly Monday newsletter is refreshing and direct, with lots of Apple reviews, and deep considerations of using the Macintosh and its peripherals. Free to subscribe. They also publish a fair number of eBooks describing the Mac universe. You might also spend some time considering non-developer resources at O'reilly publishers. They're a Mac-friendly publisher that also provides many non-Mac resources. Pick and choose as you will. --John On Jul 26, 2010, at 12:00 PM, [email protected] wrote: On 25 Jul 2010, at 13:42:50, Eric Gorr wrote: > MacLife or MacWorld Those aren't technical mags. There are a few (very few) articles in them which mention command lines, but nothing serious. The last major command-line oriented article I know of from MacLife, for example, before my subscription expired earlier this year, was the article on page 34-42 of the January 2009 issue: "25 must-know terminal tricks" which was a quickie intro to the basics of the Terminal, containing such gems as how to access the man pages, what 'cd' means, what a shell is, and, (a personal favorite) how to SSH in. > > Personally, I prefer MacLife. They do go into somewhat greater detail on their website than they do in the magazine itself. For example, there are actual useful items available at www.maclife.com/ssh_surf. MacWorld is a better magazine, though. > > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Jul 25, 2010, at 12:47 PM, Sven Aluoor <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi folks >> >> Anyone can recommend me good Mac magazine?

The only Mac mag I can think of which actually provides useful info about command-line stuff on a regular basis is also a development mag: MacTech. There are a number of technically oriented Linux mags out there, which will give you command-line stuff which will also work on OS X. However, most of them are not merely developer-oriented, but _Linux_ developer-oriented, which usually means that they really don't like Macs. I don't think that there's anything which meets your requirements.
