To me, nowadays, the hardest part of learning a new technology or language is not the “thing” itself but the environment around it.

Make content about environments.

Example: I want to start doing Ruby. There are probably 49 ways to setup a decent working environment and hundreds of people putting a lot of tools together to get it started. They all conflict with each other and almost none are clear. Any material that can explain environments in a way that make sense and help you get started as efficient and completely as possible is gold.

This is true for all platforms today.

Problem with this is that this type of information gets old very fast.
