One site to rule them all is what envato is saying when they merge there powerhouse PSD tuts with vector tuts and NET tuts this week. These site are now know by the name tuts+. There plan is to sell membership subscriptions to source files and other goodies related to the tutorials provided on the site. For only 9$ a month you get connected to all these sites and can enjoy your tutorials even more.
This is what tuts+ them self says is behind it all.
Because lots of our readers are into web development, you may be interested to know how we built the new Plus and Tuts+ sites. Thanks to the hard work of our obscenely talented web dev Derek Herman, the Tuts+ site is in fact three sites meshed together to look like it’s just one.
When you first arrive you’re looking at a WordPress installation, hooked up with a customized jQuery dashboard homepage based on the Net.tuts+ tutorial Mimic iGoogle. Then when you sign in, you’re using a hacked up version of aMember, a PHP membership script you can pick up for $180. AMember provides all the membership, account, and affiliate functionality. Finally once you go to see the Plus content, you’re into a third WordPress installation, customized to allow sorting and searching of items (which are actually Posts).
Amazing to see what a tiny budget and some hard work can do!
Envato has done it again.
