The first book is going to be more about the internals. The best place to learn is to ask questions on the D-Bus mailing lists and irc channel.

When you will release it? have you try lulu.com ("own" by Red Hat founder). When you write that book, would you consider an audience with less experience/knowledge ('dummy book??')? (just like me). So after read the book, can create a small program, 'hello world', have a better feeling of DBus and ready to cruise for more complex applications. Note: I have read the DBus tutorial but couldn't understand it well ;-(. I need a simpler book or a book which lays foundation for less experience people.

Example topics: How to deal with fault-tolerance, how to evolve an interface in a backward-compatible manner, how to make an efficient procotol in spite of the increased latency compared to in-process communication, how to structure the application in a sensible manner (e.g. using async events instead of blocking function calls that requires multithreading), how to deal with common patterns of use (you could briefly show the architecture of some existing DBus application), etc. What about upping the level of the focus to how to write a good DBus application instead of how to program with DBus?
