There's always a problem in writing a book (or a course, or an article), and
that's identifying where most of your readers are starting, and where they
want to end up.

For example, I wasn't writing Learning Perl for people who didn't yet know
what arrays and subroutines could do.  So while an occasional story surfaces
where Learning Perl was their actual introduction to *programming* overall,
it's far more likely that people tell me how well they transitioned from some
other language, without having to "skip over" the usual "fundamentals".

If you're aiming straight for the web, the llama isn't for you either, so I'm
not surprised of the misfit.
