Ask HN: How to make the best use of ACM membership?

4 pointsroot_node2 comments

I recently purchased an annual membership for ACM. Primarily for monthly magazine, select ACM Queue articles, and O'Reilly membership. But looks like ACM has a lot of quality content. How to make the best use of it?

When I was and ACM member (when I was a student) I found many useful books in their digital library (https://dl.acm.org/). They also had a huge collection of online courses. I've just went to their site and I can see that some of those things still exist, e.g. https://learning.acm.org/e-learning.

I find the digital library to be the most useful thing. Haven't read a copy of CACM in years. Some of the proceedings are useful but you typically have to be a member of the given SIG to access them.
