Paul Stephens contributions were incredible. His web design articles in PC Plus and those Lotus Screencam tutorials on the SuperCD were what got me started. They were my first proper lessons in building web pages, and they ended up shaping my whole career in software.
I still remember following Huw Collingbourne’s Delphi and C++ Builder tutorials too. I actually learned to write a word processor in C++ from those.
PC Plus was such a good magazine. I bought it religiously from around 1996-2002. Miss those days.
In hindsight, I'm glad they shut it down. I've discovered so many alternatives. Like others in this thread, I've opted to go for Feedly. I like how it syncs across my desktop, mobile and tablet.
In some ways, it's a great thing we haven't even started coding. There's been no time to build this and the boss wants it done by October. One developer, one designer and a pretty big enough system is to be built in 3 months? I believe they're deluded. (Note: I've told her that it will take longer)
