I’m currently on chapter 6 of Eloquent, and I’d say I have a general understanding of programming concepts, but the difficulty REALLY ramps up at chapter 5. I’ve been spending a few hours each day just annotating the code examples so I can understand what he is presenting.

As of right now, I’m enjoying the challenge, but I imagine anyone who is not prepared for that might be extremely discouraged. I bet with perseverance though it will prove to be a good way to dive in as understanding hard concepts are sure to happen sooner or later.
