I have indeed noticed some updates coming out and have looked at the contents of the book after a couple in hopes that the examples would have been updated, but that didn't happen. I was mostly disappointed in the lack of response from Ari Lerner at the time as well. I was also surprised by the order of the subjects. It almost immediately started of with a manual $compile function and custom binding parameters. Which I felt would be better placed later in the book, when a user is more comfortable with the angular syntax and workings. Still, I don't want to sound overly negative. If it worked for you it must be doing something right. But sharing this experience actually triggered me to create this account after lurking for so long. :)

$compile is the core of Angular.

I will admit that there have been times this last year that we haven't responded as quickly as we'd like to all our support requests. For ng-book 2 there are four co-authors and we've put processes in place to respond more quickly this time around. But your concerns around teaching order are totally valid. With ng-book 2 we've taken a code-first approach. We're starting with smaller chunks of concepts and building up the theory from there. Every example comes with complete running code separate from the book. So it will be a lot easier to see how everything fits together. I'd love to get your feedback on what we have so far, if you're up for it. My email is in my profile.
