The TheRelicans.com is a welcoming, inclusive community of developers, educators and creators, with one mission: Teach the world to code!

With this goal in mind, we’re big fans of creating content around tech — from tutorials to discussions to waxing poetic about Ruby, we talk about it all.

These days, many developers are self-taught from online resources, and who among us has not Googled a tutorial for a difficult-to-solve problem? We all make use of these resources, and for many of us, seeing devs we can relate to sharing their coding experiences is part of our entry into tech.

Coding is a specific skill, but creating content around technical topics is another skill entirely. Many developers we’ve talked to want to share their own knowledge to give back what they’ve learned to the community and help better their own understanding by teaching, but it can be hard to get started.
