I was expecting a lot more discussion of brewing methods, but definitely a great introductory guide.

The format is great, as most Head First books are, but this book has numerous typos, errors, and at some points the author does not seem to grasp JavaScript very well (for example, recommending an eval() to call a variable method without mentioning Javascript's bracket notation. It requires enough knowledge of best practices in JavaScript if you are to use this book effectively.
