> I originally laughed at "in five minutes", but even though I do not think the article reads in five minutes, it does a surprisingly good job of covering the basics: so good job!

Slightly off topic, but just to riff on this a bit: maybe books and articles called "$THING in $NUMBER_OF $TIME_PERIODS" or "Learn $THING in $NUMBER_OF $TIME_PERIODS" should be retitled "$NUMBER_OF $TIME_PERIODS with $THING." It would be more accurate, not imply any sort of mastery, and, on top of that, sound a little more dignified. But, maybe it wouldn't sell as many books, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
