 #footnote("https://github.com/bfbbdecomp"),
 which is an organized community effort to reverse engineer the source code of
 the 2003 platform game "SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom" (BFBB) for Nintendo GameCube.
+
+
+=== What You Will Learn
+
+The main goal of this book is to act as a complete guide that can take someone
+with the #link(<knowledge>, [required prerequisite knowledge])
+from zero understanding of decompilation and assembly code to being able to read, understand, and 
+decompile BFBB's C++ source code and corresponding assembly code.
+
+So what does this mean for you?
+
+If you read through this book
+you will learn about BFBB's game engine,
+the decompilation process,
+and how C++ code translates to assembly.
+You will deepen your understanding of computer science,
+You will gain the knowledge required to be able to create your own custom mods
+and builds of BFBB.
+And most excitingly,
+you will get an exclusive look behind the curtains at the source code of
+one of your favorite childhood games
+and see how the sausage is made.
+
+Your reverse engineering effort will
+unearth and give new life to long lost-and-forgotten source code
+as if you were a digital archeologist.
+It is also likely that your newly decompiled code will run on hundreds of thousands
+if not millions of PCs
+as the source code will serve as the base for a BFBB PC port.
+
+You have an opportunity to become a part of gaming history.
