MacTech is the journal of Macintosh technology, a monthly magazine for software developers who program on the Apple Macintosh line of computers. It also runs articles about Mac software development in general, and about information technology subjects, intended for system administrators who work with Macintosh computers.
The magazine was called "MacTech" for its first two issues, starting in 1984, then changed its name to MacTutor; at the time it defined itself as "a technical publication devoted to advancing programming knowledge of the Macintosh for both hacker and professional alike". It changed its name back to "MacTech" in 1993.
MacTech also provides a news aggregator service.
The magazine is privately owned, held by Xplain Corporation.
On June 5, 2008, MacTech announced they would act as caretakers to the archives of MacMinute News and Forums. They also announced they would continue to host the MacMinute Forums which are now up and running smoothly as of November 2008. At these new forums Stan's Lounge is crowded with MacCentral and MacMinute faithful in honor of Stan Flack and all that he did for the Macintosh community.
On November 6, 2009, MacTech announced that it was acquiring MacMod, a community site dedicated to modding Apple hardware and software.[1] As part of the acquisition, the MacMod forums have been integrated into MacTech's forums, and MacTech now has a podcast dedicated to Mac technical topics as well as industry news, event coverage, and interviews.
