It could easily be the worst book I've ever read. But actually, maybe not, because it's not even a book! This seems to be a transcript (a bad one, by the way) from some online class that the author gave. The slides are stolen from Pluralsight (you can see the logo in some of the very pixelated screenshots). The content is very repetitive, and most can be summarized in one phrase if it actually had one editor take a short look at it ever.

Brief intro. Good
Like the simple style. Examples used are clean and easy to grasp concepts. Repeating certain concepts along the way of a chapter helps understand better.
