Confused State - What to do

Question

For last couple of weeks I am in a confused state. What is new topic to start? I am trying to start books (free for C# Corner) on 3 or 4 different topics. First I started writing a book on Mono for Android and suddenly the Mono team was fired. Hence there will be no Mono for Android. So I can't continue this. I am working on SharePoint 2010 Development book. I just started looking at Expression Studio 2010. But I need a 32 bit machine for that. Next topic I wanted to finish is Silverlight 5. I started iPhone development as well. So I can't focus. I think I need to take a break and forget about it for a week and come back again :) What do you suggest I should start first?

From my point of view you picked a great topic. Actually I never tried Share Point coz of end-up from other topics and jobs. Once upon a time when I find some time interval to learn it then hardware system requirement made me stop. Now I have sufficient system and I really need some basic helps to startup with this. And finally Mahesh Sir's decision looks like bright for me. Thanks

The most important considerations are opportunity and what you have to offer. Is the market for Silverlight 5 saturated or is there opportunity? Are you more familiar with it than most other authors? The other choices are the same. But you know that. And you are different because you are more interested in helping people than making money. I think though that there are probably plenty of books about Silverlight already. Most books about Silverlight 5 will be mostly about Silverlight with a little bit about what is new about Silverlight 5. If you can write a whole book all about just the improvements for Silverlight 5 then that would likely be a winner. Am I correct that most of a book about Mono for Android would be about Silverlight and most of it that is unique to Android would be relevant to Xamarin (whatever the new software will be called)? So if you work on that then you would likely not have much work to do to revise it for the new software and you would have a head start on other authors. Descisions such as this are difficult. I will be surprised if I can tell you something you don't already know.
