There are several announcements and questions that I have for all of you. If you don’t mind, please take a moment or two to look over this and let me know your thoughts!
Tutorial Writers Needed
I’m hoping to find one or two more (bi)weekly writers for Nettuts+. Your duties would be to:
- Submit a tutorial each week on PHP, JavaScript, HTML, or CSS. For the first month, you’ll need to email me your tutorial idea before beginning.
- Follow the formatting guidelines listed here.
- Make any tutorial revisions that are requested.
- Submit an invoice each month to collect your mula! I’ll pay you $200 per tutorial.
PLUS Writers Needed
As many of you know, we also offer a PLUS service which offers much higher quality tutorials and/or screencasts on the same topics listed above. Due to the fact that we charge a small membership fee, we’re able to offer our authors much more compensation. Depending on the quality of the submission, I can offer between $250 – $600 for a finished tut + screencast.
FAQ
I don’t want to waste my time writing/recording just to be one of a hundred different choices for you guys. Is it worth my time?
Yes! The problem is that EVERYBODY thinks that. Realistically, I might receive a few submissions; but certainly not 100+. So take the initiative and get writing. If you use proper English, plenty of images, choose an idea that will appeal to our community, and explain yourself well, you have an EXCELLENT chance!
Does the subject matter have to be advanced?
Of course not. Our community is made up of individuals with varying skill levels. Even a basics PLUS tutorial will work – just as long as it’s high quality!
Covering Frameworks More On This Site
You might have noticed in the last month that I’m placing a greater emphasis on framework-oriented tutorials. Examples:
- CodeIgniter From Scratch
- From CodeIgniter to Ruby on Rails: A Conversion
- Kohana: The Swift PHP Framework
My question to you is…do you like this? Would you prefer that we move in a different direction, or cover a specific framework in more detail? This brings me to the next order of business…
ASP.NET From Scratch: Video Training Series — Author Needed
I need an experienced ASP.NET dev — specifically one who is current on the latest advancements in the framework (ASP.NET 4.0 and such) — to submit two tutorials and screencasts per month to our site. In exchange, I’ll pay you $500 total. This series should teach how to get started with ASP.NET from the very beginning, and then work its way up to a working web application. If interested, please email at nettutsblog@gmail.com with your credentials.
A Little Over a Week Left to Enter the PHP/JS Competition!
Don’t forget. The authors of the three best submissions to these categories, between now and August 14, will receive prizes and exposure, courtesy of CSSRockstars.com and us. Refer to this posting for more details.
Interested?
If you’re interested in any of the writing options listed above, you may submit your first tutorial here. Within the description, please note that you’re interested in becoming a (bi)weekly writer.
Thanks, everybody! Have you noticed that we’ve crossed 45,000 subscribers!? A year ago, we had about 10,000. Not too shabby, thanks to all of you!
P.S.
Are you aware that in the next week or so, Envato will be celebrating its three-year anniversary? Hmmm.. I wonder if we have anything planned…

This isn’t anything to do with tutorials but… can we have a forum?
Hey Jeff… like few others have said it, SEO tuts would be gr8…
Also i would luv to see a MySQL+ php from scratch tut…
and one about creating a custom cms would be fabulous!
how about “creating a database-less custom cms” or “creating filemanager using php+jQuery”
being a wordpress addict i would also love more about wordpress,
can we have a tut comparing drupal/joomla/ &wordpress
how about “developing with Joomla – for beginners “
another idea : “a complete list of terminologies regarding web design and development”
How about more tutorials on other CMS than the trio Drupal/joomla/Wordpress ?
There are lots of CMS’s outhere, some of them are really worth knowing:
- Silverstripe
- Concrete 5
- MODx
- CMSMadeSimple
I would also love to see more tutorials on PDO since it’s gonna be the main SQL method used by php.
I would love to see more of practical Rails screencasts and tuts that takes you from conception to deployment. Running a series on this concept would help many to jump into the RoR bandwagon.
I always try to come back to RoR but so far keeps bouncing back because there is always something that’s missing to convince me to keep going with RoR. I hope you provide that missing piece to stick with RoR which I’m sure many others would also have.
the CI Series caused me to start learning this framework and I love it so keep them coming =)
Any love for ExpressionEngine out there? I’m a recent convert from WordPress and EE blows it away.
I love this website, but everything I can think of is geared to the e107 CMS, is it ok if I write about that?
Hey Jefff… Wordpress 2.8.4 is available… plz update…

Jeff,
I sent you an e-mail a couple days ago regarding becoming a weekly writer. I haven’t heard anything so I wanted to make sure you got it. I had some (IMHO) great article ideas in it and I’d love to get writing if you’re interested!

This is an opportunity plan on utilizing. I’ve been wanting to write some tutorials on AJAX + JSON frameworks utilizing PHP. I’ve seen limitless possibilities with this combination. I wish there was room for illustration and graphic design as well!
I love the CodeIgniter tutorials and screencasts! I’m stating to use the framework and these tutorial have come as a blessing. Keep them coming.
Wordpress tutorials and screencasts are also welcomed
Thanks so much!
