The Developer Evangelist handbook is out!
Alright, after writing on it for four evenings and on one flight in between watching Watchmen and “The Boat that rocked” I am proud to present you:
The handbook explains several things:

- What makes a good developer evangelist
- How to write for the web
- How to use social media and the web to promote content
