I don't know about soon but I'd like to get it finished before R1 :)
Maybe I'm wrong but the Haiku Book as well as BeBook is meant to be an API

The Haiku Book is essentially an API documentation guide right now but it
could be extended to be a hands-on developers guide as well -- and it is
also a good place to include these details IMHO. For example the
introduction to the Midi2 kit contains a lot of details on how Midi works
and is consumed.
Darkwyrm wrote a series of tutorials on Haiku development, perhaps they
could be used as a basis for extending the Haiku Book or a dedicated
Developers Guide (with his permission of course.)
