Lessons from Veteran Community Leaders

 

You (Who) should read this?

Before we dive into this handbook, a couple of queries:

1. Are you a tech company whose customers or end users are techies (developers & designers) and are you a mid to large scale startup or an enterprise?

Yes / No

 

2. Do you plan to build or already run tech (dev or design) communities for your business? 

Yes / No

 

If you answered Yes to both questions, then this handbook is precisely for you! 

 

This handbook is written for tech companies targeting techies (devtools, edtech, open source organizations, etc) and are mid to large-scale startups or enterprises.

 

You don’t necessarily have to be a Community Manager, a DevRel (Developer Relations) advocate or any techie (developer, architect, designer, etc) to read and understand this book. All you need is an interest in building and nurturing a tech community. If you want to set up a Developer Relations team, then you will find actionable insights here.

 

With practical advice and comprehensive strategies, this handbook will provide you with a complete blueprint to follow, covering every stage of the process from organizing events, running forums, managing groups, to creating documentation, tutorials and content. By the time you're finished reading, you will be well on your way to building engaging and active developer communities which are invested in the success of your product or platform.
