Dr. Dobb's started out life as a very technical publication (Dr. Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics and Orthodontia) with a strong initial focus on Tiny BASIC, a compact language for the earliest of PCs (mostly the MITS Altair). Later volumes became more mainstream while still catering to the programming community.

volume 1, number 1 ...January 1976. I am sure it's just a typo. What would be from 1975 are the original class materials in three parts. That would be a fun class! You'd meet some interesting people.

I have for sale Volumes 1-5 (1976-80) of the Journal, published by Hayden. Please email offers.

I agree with Hershel Belkin. I have Vols 1-4 complete and Vol 1 Issue 1 is undoubtedly January 1976 not 1975.

I question your numbering.... my Issue dated Feb 1976 also states Vol 1, Number 2
