It seemed more geared towards kids to me. It seems like an attempt to bring back the way a lot of us learned, by buying books/magazines with code listings and typing them in. It's a decent idea. Anyone can do it and you really do learn something about writing code. Sadly, we stopped doing this when books started to come with disks. And then the internet... There is much less satisfaction with looking at source that is already typed and running it.
As an aside, I like that Zed is very opinionated.
