Typo-ridden code but still good

Well-structured learning path and text organization. It feels like sidenotes and whatnot are included in all the right spots. The author tries to use humor fairly often, really doesn't pull it off, but I'm glad he does because it makes the book easier and more comfortable to read; so I guess if he's going for dorky then he succeeds well. The only problem I have is in the example/explanation code relatively frequently containing errors, i.e. bad syntax, mismatches between what is read in the text and what the code shows, using incorrect/misspelled variables/numbers/specifiers/etc. In a way, I suppose it adds to the educational effect and gears you towards debugging, but it still irritates me to read. This is the first programming book I've read, so I can't make a concrete comparison, but the purpose of the book is to teach, and it accompishes that very well.
