20 Types of Programming Posts
Check this list when you don’t know what to write about as a programmer
I love blogging, and I love programming. When I decide to write more programming-related posts, I find myself stuck in one type of post: tutorials. While tutorials are useful, there are many other ways to blog as a programmer. In this post, I will share 20 of them!
1. Tutorials
Tutorials are the most common style of post that programmers share with the world. You choose something you know and start to explain it step-by-step to readers. As programmers, we know how to write tutorials, as we search and read a lot of them online daily.

2. Lists
Who doesn’t love lists? Think of a new topic in terms of a list. It helps you to organize your ideas into a few points. In programmer terminology, I consider this way as divide-and-conquer. Instead of thinking of a general topic, you divide it into small points. It’s a great style to share personal programming experience as well.

3. How-to Guides
“How-to” is the way many people search and browse blog posts online, so think about your topic in terms of answering the how-to question. It can be another tutorial or listing post but just focus on showing the “how”.
