I saw your todo, and I think it would be more pedagogical if you put the section about VarArgs in a later chapter, and everything else that is related to stuff that we haven't learned. I think the most important thing about this book is that it teaches you things step by step, and putting something that is too advanced there will have people confused.

In short: You have my support.

I disagree. I think it needs to be made clearer that this information is advanced enough that it can be skipped over until the chapter that the information is needed on. Then link back, or duplicate the text. I say this because this seems to be the logical place for this information.
However, I can't read the code. I can't back track to find out what += means. I'm fairly sure it mean increase by a unit, but I'm not sure because += and -= have not been mentioned before this point. This is frustrating. Thanks for the book, btw
