I ordered the PDF & book combo, so the paper book gets shipped to me when it's released (some time next week), and the PDF is available immediately.
Anyway -- it does have good advice -- tricks like moving a selection elsewhere in the code with keyboard shortcuts, setting up Subversion to use TextMate as your comment editor for commits, that sort of thing. It's good.
Are you a hacker who likes to make music? You know how you feel precise control when you write code you understand, but you have to filter your understanding of your music through oversimplified GUIs which sometimes have terrible UX? I made a series of videos which teaches you how to write music sequencing software in Node.js and CoffeeScript. When I do it, I experience a clarity which makes it easy for me to make more exciting sounds. You may have the same experience. Upcoming episodes will also teach you how to use simple probabilistic artificial intelligence to write code which writes its own music (which I've already done in Ruby).
Any advice?
