dooper3 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I know there are plenty of fake tutorial writers out there, but does anyone know of good genuine ones and where to find them? How do most people check the authenticity of their work? Oh and what should I be looking to pay roughly per tutorial (PHP, HTML, CSS and JS)? Thanks everyone. Be careful out there.

Daniel0 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 What's a fake tutorial writer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooper3 Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 I have heard stories of someone writing "unique" tutorials, then selling them AND putting them on his own site. That is "fake" for a start. Or maybe immoral. But you get what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stooney Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 If you plan on paying for tutorials for PHP, HTML, CSS and JS I would suggest you buy good books. Books are more organized than tons of separate tutorials. Also you can almost always find great tutorials free using google. As for as how much to expect to pay per tutorial, that depends on the tutorial and what it covers. A regex tutorial will probably cost more than a file uploads tutorial etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he wish to pay tutorial authors for the purpose of publishing the tutorials, not for using them himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsider Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 It would take a lot of work to verify that someone is the true writer of that tutorial, plenty of emails, and a lot of trouble, but it's possible. Go search around on google and find a few good tutorials, or someone who claims to know a lot, and email them, pick their brain and see what you get. I support the book idea, I prefer them anyway. I don't know of any, rarely read the author Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dooper3 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thank you all for your help, and yes, I was primarily looking for tutorials for content for my site, not to teach myself as I too prefer books. I just thought I could cut back on my workload by buying a few tutorials, but I think I might just play it safe and write them myself. Cheers for the copyspace link aswell SemiApocalyptic - I'll be saving that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
