About C# Advent

C# Advent is a way for C# enthusiasts to celebrate the Advent and help build up the C# community. Every day from December 1 to December 25, new C# content is "unlocked" on the calendar: one post a day in 2017, and two a day since.

History

C# Advent is the brainchild of Matt Groves. It started in 2017, inspired by the F# Advent Calendar, which Sergey Tihon has run since 2010 (in English since 2014). It began with Sergey's permission, and it's run every December since.

How it works

1. Request a spot. You don't need a topic yet.
2. Prepare your content, in English, and don't publish it before your day. Host it anywhere: your own site, dev.to, Medium, YouTube, GitHub Pages, or somewhere else.
3. Open with the C# Advent blurb. Start your content by saying it's part of this year's C# Advent calendar, with a link to csadvent.christmas, so your readers can find the rest of the Advent. There's one ready to paste on your My spots page, and we check every post for it.
4. Publish on your day. Your content has to be related to C# in some way; otherwise, it's up to you.
5. Share it with the hashtags #csharp and #csadvent.

Can't make it? Drop out from your My spots page, and a backup poster takes your day. The full rules are in the terms.
