I picked this up on Kindle Unlimited to play catch-up on my long unused skills. I've returned it with barely 5% being read.

Andy Vickler is a prolific writer, with several books out on the subject of Information Technology, but he desperately needs to up his professionalism and hire an editor and proofer for his works.

Here's an example of why this is important. On "The Developer of JavaScript", the first three sentences read;

"Brendan Each developed JavaScript initially with the name Mocha. The name was changed later on to LiveScript. Late on, it was changed again to JavaScript."

An editor would catch the missing "r" at the end of the first word in the third sentence, and perhaps suggest other improvements to improve readability.

The proofer or fact-checker would find that JavaScript was created by "Brendan Eich" NOT "Brendan Each".

While the book may be chock-full of useful information, I can't get past the poor writing, editing and fact-checking, and can't help but wonder if these problems also extend to his code-examples. I hope not.
