Share Your Technical Expertise!
DigitalOcean is building a comprehensive collection of tutorials about open-source software deployment, configuration, and development. If you have technical knowledge, a knack for explaining things, and drive to help other system administrators and software developers, our editorial team would love to work with you to publish your content.
We're particularly interested in the following kinds of tutorials:
- Tutorials like How To Deploy a Laravel Application with Nginx on Ubuntu 16.04 that teach readers how to configure a system that's ready for production.
- Tutorials like How To Crawl A Web Page with Scrapy and Python 3 that walk the reader through creating a real-world project in Python or JavaScript from start to finish.
Got something else in mind? We want to hear your ideas for unique content our readers will love.
Apply to become a DigitalOcean community author by submitting a writing sample below, then work with our professional editors to hone your writing skills, get published in our rich knowledge base with over a million unique pageviews each month, and get paid for your time.
