Write a computer book

My expertise is in CSS and javascript….but there are already a few great books about this, some written by people I know. I wonder if I can find a nitche.

I have written and published two computer books and am working on my third. It’s worth doing, as long as your definition of “worth” has little or no correlation to monetary reward. Sad, but true. However, a computer book is an impressive thing on your resume, and is a great way to become an expert in a subject in 6 months or less.

My advice: If you are going to do this, get the contract FIRST and then write the book. It’s how computer books get written, because most publishers want you to fit your book to their style and format. You get the contract by writing a really good proposal and, in my case, using an agent that specializes in computer books. I go through the Waterside Agency; another really good agency is StudioB. As always, research agencies and publishers carefully.

Yesterday I joined this site and made me to start writing a book. I actually had this target before, but you people have aroused me. I am writing about Project Management. Another one that I want to write is about Database. I am welcoming others for suggestions and compliments.
