A quick scroll through the comments and it looks like no one is actually talking about the book itself, so I will. I came across it at a really good time in my computer science self education. It helped me learn about some essential data structures and algorithmic analysis. The video lectures interspersed in the text augment the text and vice versa. The sections without videos were tougher for me to digest, but are written clearly and bear revisiting and study. If you, like me, are looking for a good next step after Grossman’s PL MOOC, I recommend spending some time with this incredible free resource.

I'm enjoying the discussion of commutative diagrams, abstraction functions, and representation invariants in section 6.3. It is very well motivated and easy to understand.
