Welcome, developers!
Help wanted: developerWorks is looking for writers who know a thing or
two about software technologies.
Whether your bailiwick is Eclipse or enterprise development, PHP or the
petroleum industry -- or something else -- we'd love to hear from you.
We're always on the lookout for talented authors who can bring software
development topics to life and help IT professionals of all kinds build
the skills they need to succeed. So which topics are we after? Our editors
have compiled content
wish lists for a broad range
of subject areas: Look them over and see if any of our current priorities
strike your fancy. Then, fill out our article
proposal form and we'll review
it and respond in short order. Don't see your topic of choice on our wish
lists? Submit your proposal anyway -- we're always eager for new ideas.
Or if your creativity is more suited to something less formal, start your
own blog in the developerWorks
community.
And if your area of expertise is organizing a cluttered home office, please
contact me directly ASAP.
Until next week,
John
Swanson and the developerWorks
editorial team
