I have this thing about learning stuff. If I find something hard to understand, it is normally not me it is my source. I have years of proving I could understand stuff, but these authors generally don't have that level of experience in teaching stuff. I remember in my A-level Computer Science class when we had to explain stuff, the lecturer would give an automatic zero if it didn't come with an example. I carry this practice with me now of giving examples when I'm trying to explaining stuff and non-technical people have commented they understand the concepts behind some of the technical things I write for them. I find that a lot textbooks fail to provide enough examples and analogies; they present just equation and abstract concepts. It amazes me how people find OOP hard to learn. Then I realize that my lecturer was off the chart in explain stuff. Tons of analogy and the like. So, yea that is how I judge technical books, how many examples and analogies they provide.
