Yes, that was a good point where preorder, inorder and postorder might have been introduced briefly. I liked big time this explanation as to how to mechanize your thoughts when keeping track of a recursive process.

Learning to explain something complex in simple terms to yourself is even more important. The rest follows.

I think it is strongly related to the main point of the article, insofar there are types of books that allow you a broader margin for thinking and constructive critiques, and on the other hand, for technical books this is not so obvious.

As a Java programmer, I once was welcomed at a new job: "Here you are. Effective Java. Read it all, cover to cover." Having programmed in Java for a couple of years, it was like a punch direct to my face. And it was awesome.
