A short book covered many important points

This book is composed of a few examples, which are broken down into multiple steps for implementation. You won’t learn many basic programming concepts from this book. However, if you are familiar with other programming languages, know a little bit of JS, and have just heard of reactive programming, this book can serve as a very efficient way to ramp up on Svelte. You will need to search for some concepts to gain more depth, but overall, this book is effective and a time saver.

Short, almost pamphlet sized, a little over 100 pages. Decent content but for a book, should go into more detail for "beginners" -- like maybe more on NodeJS & CSS, and should be slightly more ambitious than just a ToDo app, that is typically covered in a blog post.
