While this book contains a wealth of great information, the execution is ultimately disappointing. Most chapters begin with excellent context and a clear purpose. However, as the topics become more advanced, the text devolves into long blocks of code with minimal discussion of the underlying concepts, theory, or syntax.
This lack of explanation makes the code difficult to follow and nearly impossible to adapt for personal projects. The book would have been far more impactful if it covered fewer subjects in greater depth. As it stands, while I learned a lot, I don’t feel confident applying these concepts without significant additional study.
