It is necessary
- - reference books;
- - writing materials / computer.
Instructions
Step 1
The technical literature is heterogeneous in structure. There are books for beginners, and there are serious publications for professionals. Therefore, before starting work, select the audience to whom you are targeting your work.
Step 2
The relationship between theory and practice is also important. Think about whether you want to write a reference book or, conversely, a practical guide. You can also combine both of these genres.
Step 3
After you select the audience and genre of the future book, compose its approximate content. It will serve as a reference for your future work. The next step in creating a book is collecting information. Get the necessary information not only from your own professional experience, but also from competent sources (reputable magazines, reference books, etc.).
Step 4
Explore technical literature similar to your future book. Write out the passages that interest you. At the bottom of the pages on which you will post this information, make links to the source. This will help you avoid copyright infringement issues. And your readers will always know what additional source they can turn to, wishing to broaden their horizons on this issue.
Step 5
If you are writing a technical book for a wide range of readers, include a reference dictionary in it, which will give an accessible interpretation of all complex terms and concepts. Be sure to supplement the text of the book with illustrative material. If the book is a practical guide, describe each operation in detail, noting all its nuances.
Step 6
Remember that technical literature, due to its nature, is difficult to understand. If you are writing a book for beginners, then to give the reader's mind a break, dilute the scientific narration with interesting historical facts, add unknown details about famous researchers and their discoveries.
