What are the requirements?

If you have something interesting to share with others, we want you to be our author. So, a good article for SDJ magazine should fulfill the following expectations:
* Be based on a practical, working example.
* If your article is to be more general, about some technology for example, remember to:

first describe the technology
then show how it can be used step by step in practice using a simple example.
then discuss who can use this technology
then discuss what consequences might this technology have

This will guarantee your article will be as complete as possible.

If you'd like to write about some strategies, standards, more business-related issues, this is also a good subject for SDJ, but it has to be approached also through practice. So if you'd like to write about such topic, make sure you don't just copy the official documentation (even using your own words), but you describe an example implementation, step by step. What has to be done, how to do it, what are the risks associated with every step and what are your practical experiences with every step (we assume that if you'd like to write about something like that, you do have practical experiences).

If you're still wondering if your approach is right, feel free to contact us and just ask. We don't bite! We're here to help you prepare the best article there can be, because then both our readers are content, and you are content because you receive the highest praises for it.
