My 2 cts:
I didn't really care for the quizzes of chapter 1. They got more interesting in chapter 2 (more concrete and puzzle-like I guess). The way you present them though is excellent and certainly better than putting the responses at the end of the chapter/book, which would make it much harder to navigate back and forth.
Regarding the programming exercises: depending on how much context needs to be given (the "exercise description") I'd appreciate it if the exercises themselves would be in the book (end of chapter or even per paragraph?), because it makes for easy reading. In this way I can have a look in the book itself to see whether I want to tackle the problems or not. Links to Github (or wherever) would be appreciated.
Sample solutions don't need to be in the book, as this would make the book much more voluminous, and a code repository is a better place anyway.
I agree with Tomer Ben David that sample projects with scaffolding and all and just some ??? to complete would be awesome. OTOH, it also looks like it could be quite a lot of work for you, so if you think this is too much, I can't blame you  . If time wise it's gonna be a choice of (more) content vs (elaborate) exercises, give me the content please
Thanks for this book, it's looking very good so far!
Cheers, Fred
