Welcome aboard! We're thrilled to have you here at Ready Set Code, a publication designed specifically for individuals passionate about coding and technology.
This publication was created by coders, for coders, focusing on everything related to the tech world.
Section 1.1: What We Seek
At Ready Set Code, we believe that perfection isn't a prerequisite. We provide constructive feedback to help you enhance your submissions before they go live. Our mission is to foster an inclusive environment for writers from all backgrounds.
As you grow in your coding journey, revisit your earlier articles and refine them. This process mirrors the evolution of a developer’s skills, often aided by resources like Stack Overflow.
Subsection 1.1.1: Guidelines for Submission
Here are our key requirements:
- Your content should relate to technology; at least one tag must include "technology" to reach a broader audience.
- Ensure to create alt text and proper attributions for images.
- Originality is crucial—avoid plagiarism and express your unique perspective.
- Maintain a respectful tone; any harmful or derogatory remarks could lead to the rejection of your submission or removal of your article post-publication.
Section 1.2: Tips for Effective Writing
Here are some suggestions to polish your writing:
- Review your work for grammar and spelling to enhance clarity.
- Utilize formats that facilitate reader comprehension, such as step-by-step guides or checklists.
