This book is horrible. As background, I've done a fair bit of work with programming languages in the past. I thought I should read this to see what is current. But, as far as I can tell, the author is writing about a topic he doesn't understand. His sentences are incoherent mish-mashes of buzz words. He repeatedly demonstrates he doesn't know the difference between lexing & parsing. The book is rated "Intermediate-Advanced" which is appropriate because a reader needs a strong background to sort out what the author is saying. Also, he should have hired an editor.
To be fair, I'm just short of being half way through the book. I've skimmed a little of the rest, and it's not promising. I'll update the review if/when finished.
