Ideas/tips for writing technical posts/tutorials.

I have started to be more focused on writing new content, my goal is to write at least one post per week. For me, the major obstacle is finding good ideas to write about. So I have been compiling a list of topics. I want to share them, so, it could be helpful for someone looking for ideas.

Of course, your welcome to contribute to the list.

Pro-tips:

  • After finding the topic, the major obstacle is how to start, what works for me: use pomodoro technique ( work 45 min -- rest 15 min).

  • Before jumping into writing everything, you need to create an index about your article like:

    • Topic 1
      • Sub-topic 1
      • Sub-topic 2
    • Topic 2
      • Sub-topic 1
      • Sub-topic 2

    So, you'll have the big picture and would be able to focus on writing topic by topic, it helps to get a good feeling about progressing.

  • My best trick: when you don't have a lot of motivation, start writing and try to spend more than 15 min without any interruption, after that, you will feel the "obligation"(motivation) for continuing.

My ideas:

  • Exposing localhost server to the internet (I did it, read it here)
  • API specifications
  • Date usage in Python
  • Serverless Rest API (I did it, you can check it out here)
  • Python interview questions
  • Javascript for beginners
  • Code Styleguides.
  • Web server vs App server
  • Continuous integration
  • Microservices
  • Destructing in es6
  • Socket.io
  • Push up notifications using Firebase
  • Creating a chrome extension
  • Typescript
  • Docker workshop (I did it, it is in Spanish).
  • SSH and SSH Forwarding (I did it, you can find it here)
  • Strings "conversions" in Python.

Shared your ideas :)

If you have any suggestions about a topic you think is important but can't find enough info or it isn't easy to catch up, comment it.
