 the way the content was divided wasn't really the best, and it definitely didn't make much sense: instead of alphabetical order, it would be much more useful to divide it by topic.
most of the tips are great, and you can surely gain a lot of knowledge from it. an enjoyable read too, and pretty suitable for beginners!

 an excellent book! i read the new edition, and it seems like a lot of content was updated (or at least that's what the authors claimed). it presents wonderful material in a lightweight, well-paced, and well-developed manner — a classic for a reason.
however, i’m not sure if it was an issue with my particular pdf file, but, oh my god, the formatting was terrible. i’ve never been the kind of person to notice such things, but the line breaks, the code written in a serif font — it was awful! annotating on google docs was a nightmare. on top of that, all the images and mathematical formulas were broken, so i had to look up some concepts elsewhere.
despite that, it’s an amazing book overall.
