Would anyone buy a programming book?

Hmm, so what I have been working on lately, is a guide on algorithms, data structures and OOP for a buddy, and I was thinking about the possibilities of selling it at a low cost (5$ ?).

The book will focus on the logic of writing programs, and not individual programming languages. Therefore, the code examples will be in multiple programming languages (Vb.net and C#, plus maybe java)

Topics covered will include:
Comparison operators
Primitive variables
Branching operators (IF, IIF, etc)
Loops (while, for, do while, etc)
Linear data structures (Arrays, array lists, etc)
Methods (Subroutines, functions)
Overloading (Methods)
Recursion, and recursive algorithms
Maps
Reference Variables
Objects and Classes
Inheritance
Polymorphism
Advanced self created data structures (linked lists, binary trees, etc)


The concepts will be described in depth, and there will be questions, with step by step instructions to help the reader comprehend the concept.

Would a book like this sell, if priced around 5$?
I don't think it would. With the abundance of free information on the internet and many members willing to coach without cost, I don't see a market for this here.
Yes I would especially one geared towards malware :)
I dont think little kids mothers would buy it.

But why not put it up anyway? Its worth a try.
Not good ebook for sale, sorry.

People are searching for "how to make 500$ a day, autopilot!" and usually not for that type of ebooks.
Plus all of these can be easily googled.
