The book starts off well explaining concepts clearly.Then it explains each concept two or three more times redundantly…. And then it jumps into a code along That is too accelerated and has jumped ahead, skipping things - It also seems like there is a couple steps and pages that were neglected, leaving the exercise incomplete.On top of that inside the code, there are diagram errors that would be very confusing to a beginnerI don’t think I would have been able to follow along had not had A solid foundation of with MySQL and Postgres.A lot of words and space and time are wasted with descriptive metaphors and rich language that make you feel like you’re reading a fantasy book rather than something you are trying to quickly learn from…. Because it was written by an LLM That thought it was a good idea to turn instructive text into some kind of long form sales copy.
