One of the things that I really like about learning programing is the amount of the extra information that comes with it. I am a really curious person and such side-notes make the reading much more pleasant for me. I guess not every book/tutorial has as much side info as the one I'm reading and I'm glad I've found one so rich in it. It also pops in a joke once in a while and in general is written in a very accessible way.
Back to the side note theme - one of them was an explanation on how color works - color of things as well as light, the difference and similarities between them which I was not aware of before. To know this is of course quite important when dealing with graphics, but it is also a piece of knowledge that is also useful outside of programing. Another side note like that was an explanation on what Bezier's curve, a mathematical way of describing free curves which is used throughout vector graphics and also helps me to better understand some functions in Gimp, an image editing program I use. It fact, I might even do my math presentation on these.
