Not well adapted for the audiobook format, not for the visually impaired

The content of the print book is great, and narration is good in terms of speaking, my only issue with this audiobook, and it’s a big issue: is that many code examples or diagrams are not explained and we are referred to the pdf to look at a diagram or to read a code sample. Thankfully I’m not visually impaired, but I imagine many visually impaired listeners would be frustrated listening to this one as you only get half of the content. I’ve listened to many other programming audio books that were adapted for the format, and whilst the print books may feature a lot of code and diagrams - they are explained vocally in the audio format

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
