I'm not saying its a bad book/guide, but with sections like these:

>Before we go on, why would I even begin to bother pointing out that a pound sign is called an octothorpe? The answer is simple: I think the word octothorpe is so excellently funny, I have to gratuitously spread its name around whenever I get the opportunity. Octothorpe. Octothorpe, octothorpe, octothorpe.

It claims to be aimed at programmers who are already proficient in high-level languages, but spends a whole paragraph explaining what code comments are.

I'm not sure it qualifies as "to the point"
