I haven't yet fully formulated what I want to say so this is still just speculation on what the 2nd edition might contain. I can see a lot of room for improvement, especially in the latter chapters. Overall, the way I would frame the problem is much crisper now, and I think I have figured out how to better explain and implement my controller-averse approach, as well as server/client hybrid rendering and routing.

The community is more sophisticated about packaging these days so I would spend more time going beyond the basics and it's obvious what the most popular frameworks are (from ~8 contenders to ~3) so I should bring those in concretely to illustrate points. When I wrote the book, many of the frameworks were pre-1.0 and hadn't figured things out.

I also wrote another (to be released) book just on distributed systems which has helped with my thinking re: backend integration/caching/offline though I'm not sure how that will be directly reflected in this book.

Finally, I'd like to audit my use of indefinite articles, particularly within chapter headings.
