# I, Devangelist
A journey into developer advocacy and community development.
The life and times of a developer evangelist can be fun, enlightening and highly intense. A career can also be full of the unexpected, not all of which is positive.
I, Devangelist presents stories from a variety of experiences that highlight the huge variety of tasks involved in the role (and how much the role can change from company to company)
There are practical guides to navigate through the role effectively.
This site will also contain lots of tips and suggestions for those currently in this role, gathered from a range of experiences of Developer Evangelists / Advocates and Community managers across the world.
