I was too hard with my review--sorry! I was doing some yard work and felt really quilty. I know getting across computer science concepts/theories is terribly difficult.

Part of my anger is I don't have a good grasp of CS theory, or why we do someting a particular way? I can get things done, but I'm missing the bigger picture--in many instances?

My education into CS has just been following many steps, and listening to videos. I will go back to this free book, and give it a full read. Sorry to the Authors. I was in a bad mood?

I think it's probably solid feedback if you include more tangible action items. What's an example of wordiness in the text? What would be a better phrasing? What don't you like about the layout? Why?

Don't feel back about feedback :) Suggestions for improvement are always helpful, especially if you also include the stuff you do like.

No offense taken! We value feedback. We've refined the book over the years based on feedback from undergraduates from the schools where this course is taught, but we also value other perspectives.
