1. Buggy — wait for update - The book contains number of cool interactive examples where I get to manipulate two sliders and see how that affects an image. Unfortunately, as soon as I touch the second slider, the image hides beneath the reference image and it becomes very hard to see what happens. This is especially true for the skew demo. I'm going to wait for a week or two and see if there is a bug fix, at which time I hope that there is a way to remove this review.

1. Not much content. - The book starts off with a small HTML file example, then gradually decorates it with bootstrap css-classes, filling page after page with the same file, only with an extra class attribute or div elements.
The classes added are in many cases not really explained, not how they were chosen or what alternatives there were. They are just added and one is expected to view how the output changes. I had hoped for a better explanation of bootstrap than the official documentation, but this book is not that book.
