How an IT specialist publish his book. Part one: where to go

Perhaps, many at least once had the idea to share their experience. Help colleagues and the younger generation with the collected rake, present to the community curious (and maybe turning, who knows!) Ideas, leave something "after".





The book, the release experience of which served as the source of this material, in the article earlier https://habr.com/ru/post/512460/ scored thousands of downloads and dozens of grateful reviews. 





For those who want to know how the book business works now, whether to post it online or to cooperate with a publishing house, how much authors get, how to get on the shelves of Bookvoed, Chitay-Gorod, the main online stores, and whether likes decide everything - please.





For starters: thanks to everyone who supported. Since then, the book has gone from free self-publishing to bookstores, attracting the interest of large publishers. A funny combination of circumstances and IT persistence led to the creation of a new augmented version already from Eksmo / Bombor.





And now to the point. 





I'm sure many have had events worthy of books. So, where and how can a simple IT specialist publish his book?
