I'm currently half way through.. .some I curious where my opinion will land once I'm finished. But I will make this one comment mid way through, that I feel will agree with our take.

The continual use of acronyms to reference the previously covered concepts can be hard to follow.

SAP, SDP, DIP, CRP, OCP, CPP....
Maybe they are just too similar? Maybe this vocabulary will come with more time / usage (which I tend not to get when just reading the book straight through)? Maybe they are a necessary evil?

Interesting point.

I don't remember the acronyms causing me problems when I read the book but I can certainly understand how they could be a problem for someone who is unfamiliar with them or for whom English isn't their native language.

Please check back when you finish the book. I'd love to hear your overall impressions.
