An Addition to the Vision: Tutorials for n00bs

I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while now, but just decided to make it an official part of my vision/mission for this site:

Tutorials and Help articles.

I suppose it really started with the Installing Rails on Ubuntu 9.10 post.  So as I’ve been spending a lot of time looking for conclusive and truly helpful tutorials on the wide variety of subjects/projects I’ve undertaken, it occurred to me that there really aren’t very many truly helpful tutorials out there.  At least not for newbies like myself.

So I am going to start making posts on ways I have found to be the best for new beginners.  The primary focus with this will be on people doing these tasks for the first time; as that was what I found my largest struggle to be when I was just starting out.  There are so many different ways to do things depending on your specific environment and there are just as many tutorials out there that will only end up spinning you around in circles.

I would like to be a pragmatic voice saying, “If you’ve never setup a LAMP environment on Ubuntu X.x (for example), here’s how to get going.”  And in that vein, I think I will dub these as a ’series’ of sorts called “Tutorials for n00bs.”

Stay tuned! More to come…
