I'm finally digging into Windows Workflow Foundation so I decided to try some tutorials. (Yes, I am fully aware that it's been out there for over a year and a half now.)
I know that CodeProject has a good reputation and occassionally I have found good resources there. However, for the most part, the tutorials that are placed there are utter garbage. Instead of hurrying to get something out there so you can say you've been 'published', take some time and follow these suggestions.
- DO use correct grammar and spelling. If you are not a native English speaker, then find someone who is to proof your submittal.
- DON'T tell the reader to 'copy & paste' your code. Do explain to them WHY you are doing it.
- DO be sure and point out any references that you're using so the reader can be sure to use the proper 'Includes {namespace]}'. The reader is trying to learn something; you're trying to help them - so help them.
I'm certainly not an expert on tutorial writing - just a consumer of them.
