Hidey ho neighbors. I wanted to check in with you to let you know what we've got planned for the coming weeks. We're working on many new features to ensure that NETTUTS remains the best of the best.
A Few Things
- Unique Tut Submissions. We're still looking! Please remember that we get dozens of submissions for, essentially, the same tutorial. If you have a unique angle, please submit it to us. We'll pay you $150. For example, David Walsh, just yesterday, sent in a great article. It will show you how to build a "Twitter-like" app. These are the sorts of articles that we're craving.
- ASP.NET. I've felt for quite some time that little old ASP doesn't get the attention it deserves on this site. It's an extremely powerful framework that must be covered. I will see to it that it does. If this is your framework of choice, and you're an expert, please send in your tutorial. To bring those unfamiliar up to speed, I'd like to have a "Getting Started with ASP.NET from Scratch" tut. After that, maybe a couple of times a month, we'll have articles that go into much greater detail.
- Teaching Concepts. Step by step tutorials are fantastic. However, learning the concepts are much more vital. Sporadically through out the week, I'll be introducing a new series of articles. Rather than the "Build a Fantastic ....." type of tutorial, these will focus on the fundamentals. For example, in ASP.NET's case, one article will be "Understanding LINQ". As always, please submit if you have an article prepared.
- Learn PHP from Scratch This week will be concluded with two more articles. The first will be Part 2 of the popular "PHP from Scratch" series. This series will be continued on a regular basis from now on. On Friday, I'll be posting "Web Development Pet Peeves - As Voted By the Community". We even have four-five web-celebrity opinions! (Meyer, Zeldman, Croft, Snook, etc.)
- If You Haven't Voted...Vote! Referring back to Friday's article, if you haven't already, please leave a comment with your own web dev pet peeve! I'll be sure to work it into the article.
- Videos Rest assured that we are working on video screencasts. It is my hope that we'll run one high quality vid-tut per week. Stay tuned for more information.
- Be Active Last, but surely not least, I want to ask everyone to support this site in any way that they can. If an article helped, please submit it to Digg, DZone, SU, etc. The larger we become, the more equipped we'll be to offer you the best tutorials available. Whether that means telling a friend, or posting a link on your blog, you can decide! Thank you so much.
P.S. What's in store for next week? How about an interview with Jeffrey Zeldman?! And have you looked at ThemeForest yet? Some people have already made over $1000 in the short time that the site has been live. Go check it out!

Keep up the good work guys. Can’t wait for the PHP sequel. . .!

Thanks for the update, Looking forward to the ASP.NET
( )James September 10th
Some nice things to look forward to, thanks Jeff!
( )Ben Griffiths September 10th
Excellent, looking forward to yet more great content
( )Craigsnedeker September 10th
Thanks!
I’d use Viddler.com for your screencasts, NOT Vimeo. Viddler has almost perfect-perfect quality in full screen, even Standered, but Vimeo doesnt.
( )Niklas September 10th
Another splendid news today! As everyone else I’m looking forward to more superb content with articles, guides and tutorials!
( )Ben Griffiths September 10th
Hmm, my comment never showed
Look forward to the coming articles 
( )Hbiloo September 10th
Why ASP.net and not another framework such as Ruby on Rails or one of the thousands Java web frameworks?
( )Paul Gendek September 10th
I will be contributing very soon!
( )Shane September 10th
It really seems like nettuts is gaining some real momentum! Congratulations on the site, once again, and here’s to its continued success.
Very interesting news indeed, particularly about ASP.NET, which is what I get up to during the day.
I’ve got a couple of ideas for ASP.NET tutorials, Jeffrey, but they’re not exactly beginners level…
Can we submit the title and synopsis of an article before we submit it, just to see if you’d be interested?
( )Jeffrey Way September 10th
@Hbillo – We are. Every week, we have a new Ruby tut. Soon we’ll be covering Cake as well. Ultimately though, it all comes down to what gets submitted. To be honest, I haven’t received a single Java submission.
( )Lamin Barrow September 10th
Finally ASP.net is mentioned. Am really excited about that. Hopefully i will write a tut soon.
( )Shane September 10th
@Jeffrey – did you see my previous comment about ASP.NET tutorial title/synopsis?
( )Jeffrey Way September 10th
@Shane – Yep. I emailed you about it. What is your idea?
( )Braden Keith September 10th
Sounds good.
Jeff, I guess it might of gotten lost in all the comments on the other post I left in on but, the NETTUTS logo in the top left still has alt text of psdtuts. Just a heads up
( )Snorri3D September 10th
sounds awsome hope you guys keep it up
( )insic September 10th
nice to hear about that ASP.net thing. and also the part 2 of the php series.
( )Mike T. September 10th
What is Cake? Cake PHP? I have heard of that, but what is it?
( )Stefan September 10th
Great to hear you’ll be covering .net I’ll be looking forward to that. I’m also really interested in Java as I’m studying the language for a course.
( )fesh September 10th
I’m so excited for these coming great articles and tutorials!
( )Shane September 11th
@MikeT: try google
( )Anonymous September 11th
I’m not an MS Developer but shouldnt we ask for C# tutorials rather than ASP.NET? Just a thought.
( )Jeffrey Way September 11th
@Anonymous – ASP.NET is a framework. C# is a programming language. We’ll be going C# and VB.
( )Mike T. September 11th
What is Cake?
( )stefan September 11th
@Mike T. http://cakephp.org/ this should tell you all you need to know
( )Mat September 11th
Quoting Shane: “Can we submit the title and synopsis of an article before we submit it, just to see if you’d be interested?”
Wondering what your answer to this was Jeff, as we could write a range of ASP.NET related articles for the site – but it would be nice to know your interest before we get stuck into writing them!
( )Jeffrey Way September 11th
@Mat – Absolutely, you can! Email me at nettutsblog@gmail.com with your idea and we’ll talk.
( )Moksha Solutions September 11th
Please ASP.NET is good idea, its really great framework.
