This is great! As someone who is creating a product in the same niche that you're targeting while also coming from a non-OECD country, I can confidently say that you wrote something valuable from reading through your index.
Marketing the book and getting to the audience would definitely be a challenge if you're targeting non-OECD country audience. $10 is a good price because CTCI is $10 and a good bunch of my network bought the physical book before they got a job (most just pirated the PDF). The set of people who bought the book was only due to the word-of-mouth recommendations from the CS crowd. I'd say taking up the strategy of marketing the book like Learn Python the Hard Way would be effective:
- Give the e-book version for free.
- Create enough buzz around your book with reviews from your target audience and in CS forums.
- Once there is network effect, you could release a revised version and make it paid.
It'd take time and iterations to perfect it, but Learn Python the Hard Way is now priced at $29.99 and it generates good sales. Good luck!
