Thanks for the kind words. My goal with this book is to make the content friendly and approachable. If I can convert a single JavaScript hater, then I have exceeded my own expectations. :-)
I'm having a quick read through (3 chapters so far) and I think it is beautifully written. (quite a few broken images in the SVG parts of chapter 3 at present)
Edit: just purchased the eBook, and the images are fine in the PDF.
Thanks! Yes, I hope to get the images on the online version cleaned up, but they should appear correctly in the ebook version.
