So looking at example chapters from the book you are interested in I don't think I can recommend it. What the book covers are mapping things that people have already written a ton of tutorials on and it looks like it never gets into coding at all. It does cover particle editor it looks like and that is something there isn't a whole lot of on out there but TopHATTwaffle has quite an extensive tutorial on it.
If you are wanting just paper copies of mapping tutorials I would go to the places that provide tutorials such as interlopers and Halfwit2 and use a browser plugin to get a nice print friendly version. Sadly Source isn't as popular as say Unity or UDK. If you are looking to learn how to program for it the best way to do it is to learn some C++ then jump head first into the code and look at various tutorials. Keep in mind that the tutorials themselves are now outdated as well so you will have to do some learning and try and fix what it is that's broken in the tutorial. If you get stuck on something just ask a question here or on one of the various forums.
