Personally I cannot learn from a book where I am just given concepts and supposed to find a solution. I find reading other code to be a much better learning method. I have seen most students prefer to presented with a whole working program and then expand on it in the challenges the book provides. The author of this article was expressing a desire for shorter books that give full code listings rather than code snippets and challenges that you seem to prefer.
