The Tutorial Team: A Happy Cycle!

The raywenderlich.com Tutorial Team is known for making the highest quality tutorials available online. It’s awesome how far we’ve come, but we think we can do even better!

To help us raise the quality level of our tutorials even further, and expand beyond just iOS tutorials, we are splitting our Tutorial Team into 8 new sub-teams:

• Swift Language: Tutorials on Swift language concepts (structs, closures, generics, etc – not making apps).
• iOS: Tutorials on iOS topics in Swift.
• Android: Tutorials on Android topics in Java.
• OS X: Tutorials on OS X topics in Swift.
• Sprite Kit: Tutorials on Sprite Kit topics in Swift.
• Unity: Tutorials on Unity topics in C#.
• Unreal Engine: Tutorials on Unreal Engine topics in Blueprints and C++.
• Articles: Articles (not tutorials) on topics of interest to iOS, Android, OS X, and game developers.

As such, we are looking for great new authors and editors to join our team. Keep reading to find out what’s involved, and how to apply!
