This is a great book for anyone that wants to improve their Javascript, learn Nodejs or is looking at writing a command line client. Robert has a lot of experience building command line clients and he does a great job of transferring that knowledge in the book.
The first section was my favourite. It looks at what makes a good CLI. Having worked on NMO, a command line client for CouchDB that Robert started, I now see why he made some of the design decisions that he did. And why they were a good idea.
Robert has done a great job and this is a fun and interesting book to read.
