Friendly advice: Write a blog instead of, or at least before writing a book Sure there are disadvantages... which are IMHO minor/unrealistic: eg YOur intended audience has no access to internet. About as unrealistic as them not having access to electricity Advantages - Very low bar on entry - Much finer granularity — one post vs one book - Much tighter write→feedback→correct cycle: Minor corrections can be just edited in/out. Major additions get a new post - More current medium “Medium is the message (or massage)!” - Saves trees [Personal note: I started blogging on programming related topics a few years ago: http://blog.languager.org/ Which crossed 50K hits a few months ago. More gratifying, Ive received comments and thanks from people like Doug McIllroy, co-creator of Unix] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
