MacDeveloper: The Electronic Magazine for Macintosh Developers

Way back in 2009 I got a whole stock of super-early Macintosh disks from that exciting time period of 1984 to 1987 or so.

One of the disks was labeled MacDeveloper and it has the first two issues of an electronic magazine for developers. The files were in MacWrite, but through a chain of software leading up to ClarisWorks 2.1v3 and finally AppleWorks 6 on Mac OS X, I have converted the two issues to PDF which are now uploaded to Mac GUI.

My PDFs are nicer than what he has on the site because I preserved formatting and graphics.
