I like a couple of the rhymes, perhaps it's just me, but most of them don't scan properly. Mind you I find this is a common complaint for me, perhaps my rhythm is off.
Example: Debugging should have "to figure out just // what has gone wrong".
That said I doubt that's much of a bar to sales.
To me it's a novelty book "A Programming ABC" that people (probably non-programmers) would buy as a gift. The artwork is amazing IMO.
As a teaching resource it seems more like a pile of quirky chapter pages that would preceed in depth descriptions.
I wonder if the pages would work as merchandise, or just framed artwork.
