How to find DevRel learning resources on DeveloperRelations.com
DeveloperRelations.com is a resource hub for developer relations careers, organized around formats (talks, guides, podcasts, reports, case studies, origin stories) and a beginner track. To find what fits you, start from the format that matches how you learn, then use the "New to DevRel?" links if you're just starting out. The site also hosts DevRelCon events and offers training and consulting, so it serves both self-directed learners and people looking for structured help.
What's on the site
The homepage surfaces the main resource categories, each with a "see all" link to browse the full set:
| Section | What it contains | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| DevRelCon talks | Recorded conference talks, readable and watchable | Learning from practitioners' experience |
| DevRel guides | Practical how-to material | Building specific skills |
| DevRel podcasts | Audio conversations | Learning on the move |
| DevRel reports | Research and findings | Backing decisions with data |
| DevRel case studies | Real program stories | Seeing how others solved problems |
| DevRel origin stories | Career path narratives | Understanding how people got into DevRel |
If you're new to DevRel
The homepage has a dedicated "New to DevRel?" block linking to three starting questions:
- What is developer relations?
- How to get a job in DevRel
- Do you need to be a developer to work in DevRel?
Start here if you're evaluating the field or planning a move into it. These answer the framing questions before you dive into talks and guides.
Browsing by topic or format
Each category page (reached through its "see all" link) lets you scan titles and pick what's relevant. Recent examples show the range of topics covered:
- Talks: "Community in the Age of AI," "Interactive Live Streaming for In-Person Events," "Beyond badges: How gamification can supercharge developer engagement"
- Guides: "The four pillars of developer relations," "CORE: A situational analysis framework for DevRel," "Mapping the developer journey," "Using support questions to feed your content calendar"
- Case studies: "Marketplace monetisation the wrong way," "Globalising a champions program," "Scaling developer content production at Snyk," "Overcoming spam during Hacktoberfest"
- Origin stories: transitions from engineer, blogger, and spare-time creator into DevRel roles
Pick the format first, then the topic. If you want a framework, go to guides. If you want evidence a program worked, go to case studies.
Using search and navigation
The site has a search function ("Search the site") and an open main menu. If you know your topic — say, gamification or champions programs — search is faster than browsing category by category. The main menu also links to DevRel resources, DevRelCon, training, and consulting, so you can move between learning material and events or services.
