First of all, let it be known that while the book is (necessarily) ordered linearly, you are by no means constrained to this ordering. Let your curiosity run wild! That being said, many of us ''like'' the structure that book provides, which each chapter coming after the next, so if you would like to read chapter by chapter, ''great'', if you would like to skip around to what sounds interesting ''also great'', but do not be surprised in either case if you run into many things that do not make sense upon a first read. This is where the guide comes in. | |||
We have divided the guide into a number of sections | |||
* Community Explanations | |||
*These are summaries of the key points in the chapter written by our community contributors. A quick way to review the contents of a chapter or just read an additional take on a given topic. | |||
* Preliminaries | |||
*Resources covering concepts that we recommend you have a firm grasp on ''before'' going into a chapter and which are note sufficiently covered in previous chapters. | |||
* Essential | |||
*Resources which we strongly believe will solidify the most important concepts presented within the chapter. | |||
* Recommended | |||
*Resources which should be reviewed if a given concept in the chapter just didn't quite ''click''. | |||
* Further Reading | |||
* Resources, often textbooks, which constitute the ''next steps'' to understanding the topics presented in the chapter at a deeper level. | |||
