Hi, I’m Azat, and as of this writing, I’ve created five books on programming (both self-published and traditionally published). And I want to share my experience with you so you can avoid mistakes, pick the easiest and fastest route to success, help others learn tech, and add a source of passive income. Publish your first book and become a programmer that writes, or simply progwriter!

The ProgWriter resource will include materials on how to:

• Conduct a proper research and identify trends
• Produce a good book fast and easy
• Apply the best tools and skills to tech writing
• Structure well and use proper styles
• Pre-sale and launch a book
• Properly and effectively market a book
