Thanks for mentioning my book. Indeed, it's written exactly with that moment of time in mind: the "OK, so I want to do this. But how?"

Unless you have a very large following already, you're at the whim of the Medium editors to "elevate" content to the wider readership of the site, via the preexisting topics, or if you're really lucky, to feature your article on the front page.

* Edit: That doesn't mean you shouldn't! :-) However, you might get more readership - if that's what you're interested in - by writing pretty much anywhere, and just sharing it with the right communities.

I got a book deal!

I answered a whole bunch of questions over on a Show HN a while back if you're interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22033129

I'm happy to answer any specific questions around this. My email's in my profile, or you can reach me on Twitter (@jstanier).

Thanks for the availability!

Took a look at your book's content table and it definitely resonates with my current position, transitioning from being hands on developer to leading a small, growing team of developers.

Hello! I did a Show HN recently as I wrote a book on exactly this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22033129

There's a lot of interesting discussion on that thread that might be useful to you as well.

Thank you! I hope it helps. Let me know if there's anything you'd like covered.

Thank you, I'm pleased you think that. My PhD was in compilers anyway. I have no formal management training. :-)

Thank you! I hope you like it.
