I might have read past the initial section if they had spelled technical terms properly.

The authors may very well have been knowledgeable when this was written in 2008, but with such a glaring issue I won't take the time to read it.

I don't think English is Vidar's first language. Would you like to try writing a technical article in Norwegian?

Yes... with programming so English-centric, we have to be understanding.

Surely you understood what the words meant to recognise the errors? Read beyond them, you might learn something new.
