DevCampus is looking for "Editor Experts"

I've come to the point now, with DevCampus, that I am looking to seek out those that are experts in certain niche areas of technology that would like to contribute content for courses. A long list of courses (grouped by department) can be found below. I will be updating the list below as I add more courses. Also feel free to suggest courses for any departments, especially those that don't yet have any courses for them.

Note: I currently have 4 GMail invitations that I am willing to send to people that want to contribute.

You might be wondering what I mean by “Editor Experts“. The kind of people I am looking for are those that not only enjoy technology (of course) but, those that also enjoy writing and educating others in their areas of expertise. Those that keep blogs, write articles, books, or have websites of their own, speak at user groups and/or conferences, etc. I also want to say, emphatically, that since DevCampus is community-based, this is open to everyone, including you. I don't want anyone to feel like they shouldn't contribute or aren't qualified to contribute. Your experience is no less valuble than anyone elses. Part of the goal of DevCampus is to provide a refined, aggregated collection of expertise gained through hands-on experience. So regardless of what it is you have experience in, and regardless of how much experience it is, you're welcome to contribute. Also keep in mind that for each course, there will be different levels of lessons (starting with “Essentials“ lessons, then Intermediate, Applied/Advanced, and Theory)...so I'm looking for XML Essentials just as much as I'm looking for Advanced SOAP Web Services material.

Also bear in mind that that I want the content published at DevCampus to be thorough. Each lesson will also get versioned and be open to revision. For example, see the Database Naming Conventions lesson example I posted here. As I build the site, I am designing it so that revision history information can be kept by those that edit content.

Here is a current list (updated regularly) of courses, grouped by department. If you happen to have experience in one of the topics related to a course below and find it to be in the wrong department, please let me know. For example, is Python really a programming language or a Scripting Language? I'm not entirely sure as I've never really worked with it. I'm depending on those that have to set me straight. If you would like to download the Excel spreadsheet version of this list, it can be found here.

  • the Photoshop course looks interesting. what kind of material are you looking for?

  • Hi Winona - I'm mostly looking for tutorials on how to use the most commonly used features of Photoshop as well as some basic fundamental explanations of what Photoshop is capable of (in general) and then lessons on how to do those types of things. It's really pretty wide open since there is an infinite amount of things you can do with Photoshop.
