This book is basically an intro to A-frame, a webVR framework. All the tutorials to learn this tool are available at their own website so I don't see the point of this book.

Also, there's a 10 page guide to git. The book should focus on one topic and stick to it. If I want to learn version control I'll look for some place else.

Considering that this book is 80 pages long, it feels like the author was trying to add some more pages to compensate for the lack of VR related content.
