Moreover, you will find hints under the box captioned Did you Know?From my point of view, students and beginners will be able to grasp the contents of the book very easily as the author has explained the topics with numbered bullets. The author has also provided relevant properties and their corresponding values used in the samples shown on the book.
Each hour includes a short summary which explains the topics you learned followed by questions and answers. I would suggest both the author and publisher to provide answers on the end of the book so that instructors can evaluate students properly. As of now, answers are provided just below questions which defeats the very purpose of evaluations.
