Help us write the Beginners Guide to HTML5 and CSS3 and win a Nexus 7
Want a brand spanking new Google Nexus 7 tablet? It's been awhile since we hosted
a good old-fashioned developer showdown, so this week we're launching a new article
competition to help us complete a 12-part Beginners Guide to HTML5 and CSS3.
Each Monday for the next six weeks we'll release two article titles and corresponding
descriptions of the subjects that should be covered in each. You have until the
following Sunday to write the best tutorial you can on one of those given subjects
for your shot at some great prizes. Full details and descriptions of this week's
article tutorials you've been tasked to write can be found on the
contest page.
Speaking of contests, here are February's monthly article competition winners.
Congrats to all!
cheers,
Chris Maunder
