The book is the first in a series of tutorials (so called by the author) that aim at crossing the line towards building the individual 'technical sophistication' (a misc of "computer tricks" and "an attitude of getting the machine to do your bidding"). The skill is described as something that cannot be taught directly, it is actively built by the reader of this and other "learn enough tutorials" by doing exercises and adding new tools to their own kit. Speaking of exercises, I enjoyed the disposition of the ones present in the book, I found them stimulating and acute to the point of thinking of my own ones, which is surely the intended goal. Another nice characteristic is that the author added many interesting external notes that paint a nice historical overview of days I struggle to imagine myself.
