   I think you're right, the book is not suitable for first time learners without any or much background in programming. This as lots of concepts are explained in passing. It quite frustrated me and I think Carin Meyers "Living Cloju

    I think it was because they ran into problems with NW (esp. freezes on OSX), but I'm not entirely sure if this was the main reason for switching to Atom/Electron. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/light-tab
