Well, I am a experienced software developer and looking at question made by friends that are learning, questions over the internet and StackExchange, I noticed that I eventually could help more people by writing a book. Not an advanced, a book for beginners that should be fun and nice to read an to learn how to program basic things using C/C++.

But there's a huge problem. I am a Software Developer, not a writer. I just do not have a clue how to start building a book.

So here I leave the question: how to get started? I'm asking about writing the text itself, not other factors (like marketing).
