I have the outline and a few starts on chapters right now.  My target
audience is something someone could use as a self study book or that
could be used in a Vocational Class Room.  In other words, it will be
very beginner but at the same time will not go super deep, but will show
you have to get things running in a short period of time.  Most the
classes I teach are maybe 32 hours total.  I would like chapters small
enough to be able to be covered in three hours with demo's of the
examples.  I have not formalized any mission statement or such yet, but
will be working on that soon.
