Hi!
I am going through "ConTeXt an excursion", but I cann't get the example of
table 11.9 (page 34, source pp 32-33) to work.
I always get an error:

A bug. \type inside a table caption does not work. Minimal example:
\starttext
\placetable
[here,forece]
{Use of \type{\setuptables}}

I have tried to comment different parts of the code, but this didn't help
(even if the error changed).
The code is exactly the code from the book (copy/paste from the .pdf)
This works (copy pasted from the source and remove the \ in the caption)

Further, I do not see the effect of \setupcaption[style=boldslanted] in
example 11.10 (pp 34-35)
Typo in the manual. It should be
\setupcaptions[style=...]
or
\setupcaption[table][style=...]
if you just want to change the captions for tables.
