Almost 30 years old. Old good times without BGAs and modern barely visible components. While some basics are still applicable the modern problems are not covered at all.

I have a problem of dismounting brittle SATA ports, maybe I just need more preheating but they are sitting really tight in the board.

Missing: how to solder a wire to the thermal pad on the bottom side of an IC. Assume there are components on the back side.

Beautiful illustrations!

Watch the PACE videos as well, they’re on YouTube and they also cover how to remove conformal coating and using different tools.
