Despite some (already mentioned) shortcomings, I like it: it provides a simplified "real life" big picture of the whole process with sample tools; a thing that (in my experience) every other "getting started" guide seems to miss (most of them just mentions what is a makefile).

I also like the overall format of the website and the radio feature is a nice touch. I'll visit it again in the future, out of curiosity.

A follow-up article may extend it with collaboration (git) or may delve in either Unix-like (e.g. with the GNU utils etc) or Windows, or both. But the author should first address the highlighted shortcomings...
