Why would you promote this so early with a site devoid of content? Maybe it would be better to delete this submission until you have something substantial to show.

It's cool that someone is writing a book about Docker, but I think its too early. At this stage there are new features added every month, so once the book comes out several of the features might not work the same way anymore.

To measure the level of interest in the product, I guess. If there are enough signups, he will actually write the book.

From the submission history, it appears that the OP is a fan of docker, so it's likely the site was shared with that in mind, rather than him/her being the author of the linked content.

Yep I'm just a fan and minor contributor to Docker. Thought it was interesting to see a book so early but I do agree it's probably too early. Docker is changing fast. Version 0.5 should likely be out today.

Great initiative! I'm a big fan of starting with books when I'm learning something new as they usually have a better narrative and deeper explanation than the docs and 'getting started' guides do. Maybe this could be written using github with pull requests and stuff when things change? Open sourced books rocks. ;)
