Hi,

I am a great fan of this site and really happy to tell you all that tutorials given here are of great help to me and much better than any book that I have ever come across, since they are based on real world experinces rather than copies from some where else on the world wide web without much of a thought. I have been trying to learn some basics of the open soruce world on my own like Linux, My SQL, PHP, C, C++ etc. My recent focus is on learning as much as possible about using the Linux OS (Fedora version) by using a few books but I am quite disappointed to see that hardly any of them have so far satisfied me fully. There is always something missing and my money seems to have gone down the bin. But then I came across this totorials on this very site about Linux:

And they are just great. All I would like to request is, please keep posting quality open source tutorials on this site based or ranked on the basis of their relevance, language and simplicity. I am sure people like me who are just starting out will benefit from them a lot. Right now I am reading the book which has been recommended by many people on Amazon, it is called Linux In a Nutshell. Despite the so good reviews, I am not completely happy with it as it raises more questions than it actually answers, and sincerely hoping that someone will write tutorials or a series of tutorials that deal with each chapter of this so called great book. Here are a list of chapters in question.

Thanks a lot guys for the dedication and time shown by you all in terms of helping the community. God bless. Cheers.

Thanks for the kind words. The tutorial section has recently been overhauled, and we are now working to increase the volume of tutorials posted but on an invitation only basis so as to ensure the highest quality is maintained.

And high quality tutorials are fairly hard to come by, I imagine. I've plenty of people trying to show off what they know through horribly inaccurate or poor quality tutorials. I'm glad DaniWeb has high standards

>I'm glad DaniWeb has high standards
You can thank both Dani and Davey for that one. Davey did pretty much all the work, so I guess he deserves a lot of credit. But Dani actually initated the tutorial cleanup.

I would love to contribute, but still didn't develop skills to write a proper tutorials. So at least I try to make a difference by posting on this forum

And your contributions to the forum are most appreciated!

I think it is important to understand that not everyone can be a great blogger, not everyone can write great tutorials, not everyone is a great poster of forum messages.

What we strive for at DaniWeb is to discover people who do have those talents and attempt to turn that into high quality content in the relevant site sections.

Hopefully it is something that we are starting to get to grips with, certainly feels that way from here.

What about Code Snippets, are you gone keep them as they are or you considering to do some changes?

What do you think? Is the quality of code snippets up to scratch or do you think they need some pruning?

I think they need some extra description not exatly the tutorial type, but short explanation of what it does or good code comenting would be welcome
