Nettuts+ Gets a New Editor Today & Vectortuts+ Launched

Collis Ta'eed on Jun 16th 2008 with 38 comments

I’m very excited to announce that today our new NETTUTS editor Raj Dash is starting. As Site Editor, Raj will be getting to work on slowly bringing our publishing schedule up to speed, making sure everyone gets replied to a lot quicker (something I’m notoriously bad at) and generally steering the site.

Meet Raj Dash

Raj is a long time blogger having been a permanent author at Performancing, blog editor at Tubetorial and worked on many other well known blogs. He’s also a self confessed geek who loves WordPress, coding and the web.

I’m sure Raj is going to do a fabulous job here at NETTUTS and you’ll bear with him as he gets up to speed with the site this week. Welcome Raj!

Learn Vectors

Today we’ve once again expanded the TUTS franchise, this time into the world of illustrator, eps’s and all things vector with VECTORTUTS. The site is being edited by Sean Hodge (our PSDTUTS editor) and went up a few hours ago. So if you’re into vectors, head over and bookmark it!

As For Me …

With Raj taking over here, I’m off to work on a few new projects that the NETTUTS audience will be interested in. One is a flash tutorial site that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, due date is probably late July. And the other two are new marketplace sites similar to FlashDen and AudioJungle, which if all goes to plan should launch in July and August.

So it’s going to be a big few months! Still I’ll be popping in now and again with a tutorial as I have a few on my list to write. So until then!

Meanwhiles we really should have some sort of panel along the top to switch between all these TUTS sites! There’s just so many of them :-)

@Collis – that’d be good. First thing in the morning, I open nettuts and psdtuts in firefox, now I’ll be opening vectortuts too! Would be good to switch between them!

Was looking forward to this launch – this will be a great resource for my students in the Digital Vector class that I teach. One of these days I’ll have to look at doing a tutorial.

Finally another post here, this is the best side of your business as far as i am concerned Colis and you spend least time on it. Lets hope the new guy gets the posts rolling in (one a day is good!)

@Zach I feel the same way lol. I remember first coming to psdtuts when it was just collis and it had a totally different design. I feel old!
A panel up top to switch between all these tut sites would be great!

I second (or third?) the switch panel. I nearly gave up on NetTuts when I couldn’t find a link to it from PSDTuts and couldn’t remember the name of it.

Thanks everyone! What a nice response.
Thanks Sean. I guess you’re a veteran at this now.
I’ll try to start posting contributor and my content more regularly, as soon as I’ve got the process down. Apologies that there’s nothing fresh up yet this week, besides Collis’ announcement. Hopefully tomorrow.

Nice nice :)
When will there be a FLASHTUTS :D?
http://www.rajdash.com/ Raj Dash
Hey everyone, such nice words. I’m going to be focusing on articles only, mainly b/c I’m not much of a designer, only a (retired) coder. So, I’m looking forward to some great idea pitches from readers.
Monkey: The Flash Tuts site is coming. And another one. Both coming soon.

Hey Raj spend less time plurking ok ;)
http://www.rajdash.com/ Raj Dash
Eric: Hah ha! But how else will I find tutorial contributors for NETTUTS.
Paul Parson
Every time I visit this family of sites I get a “design boner”…”keep it up” guys! Absolutely top-notch, high quality tutorials and articles.
Congratulations Raj!
