The Developer Evangelist handbook is out!
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009 at 6:58 pmAlright, after writing on it for four evenings and on one flight in between watching Watchmen and “The Boat that rocked” I am proud to present you:
The handbook explains several things:
- What developer evangelism is
- What makes a good developer evangelist
- How to write for the web
- How to use social media and the web to promote content
- How to deliver great presentations
- How to deal with criticism of your company and what to do with the competition
- How to write easy to understand and useful code examples
The handbook is Creative Commons and free to use. I am working on getting a printed version out, too.
