The current way of putting all parts of this book together seems strange, since this is a textbook, not a reference or a manual. What's more, the text is really long, and is getting longer and longer. We should consider step-by-step chapter arrangement, with a Contents structure like the one inRegular Expressions. --Arthur200000 (discuss •contribs)00:18, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Although I enjoyed reading this book I think it lacks a lot of Wikibooks standard, that is one of them has been discussed. apart from that, the explanation is more like a manual page; not a textbook. The numerous use of "foo", "bar" and "baz" especially as values for the variables makes the examples a bit hard to track. Also, there wasn't any explanation about somethings(e.g. the difference between "[[" and "[") with the assumption that readers already know this (I don't know if this was intentional or not so the reader can dig this for him/her self). And some other minor things like in the table in the end (Index of symbols) that only named some of the symbols without any description.Et0zl (discuss •contribs)21:35, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
